Engine Torque-up Control
-
Allows engine to produce more torque in a shorter
time period to complete vessel reversals faster
-
Reduces load on propulsion system components during
reversals
-
Maintains shaft brake engagement during initial
clutch engagement
Continuous Slip Control System
-
Enhances control of medium and
high speed diesel engines
-
Closed loop speed control allows the propeller shaft
speed to go down to zero RPM at engine idle
-
Ensures that the selected propeller speed is
maintained regardless of wave, wake or current conditions
-
Allows operator to perform docking procedures or
handle fishing nets more precisely and predictably... without continually
shifting from “Ahead” to “Neutral”, or “Ahead” to “Astern”
-
Offers unlimited slow speed operation because heat
generated under slow speed conditions is carried away by the cooling oil and is
dissipated in the reduction gear heat exchanger
How Slip Control Works
-
Push a button on the control handle to engage, then
move the handle forward or aft to the desired speed setting
-
As the handle stroke is increased, shaft speed is
increased while the engine remains at idle speed
-
When the handle moves past the Slip Mode range, the
hydraulic clutch is fully pressurized as the engine begins to accelerate
-
When not needed, switch off; the clutch fully
pressurizes, allowing the engine to accelerate normally when shifted from
neutral
