Custom Propeller Boss Cap Fin for Marine Propulsion

Custom Ni-Al Bronze (Cu3) propeller boss cap fins (PBCF) and hub vortex absorbed fins that reduce hub vortex loss behind the propeller; made to propeller drawings for FPP and CPP, for newbuilds and retrofits.

Description

JinYe Propeller manufactures custom Propeller Boss Cap Fins (PBCF) and Hub Vortex Absorbed Fins (HVAF). A PBCF is an energy-saving device fitted at the propeller boss cap whose fins influence flow behind the hub, weakening the hub vortex, smoothing the wake and making better use of propulsion energy without major changes to the propulsion system.

Key features

  • Reduces hub vortex energy loss and improves wake flow behind the propeller
  • Compact upgrade option during propeller replacement, maintenance or efficiency projects
  • Designed to the actual propeller rather than a standard layout: propeller diameter, hub dimensions, installation space, blade number and rotation direction
  • Configurations for fixed pitch and controllable pitch propellers
  • Actual efficiency gain depends on propeller design, operating condition and engineering evaluation

Materials and manufacturing

  • Ni-Al Bronze Cu3
  • Casting, CNC machining, dimensional inspection and material verification to approved drawings
  • PT or UT testing and project documentation available to technical or classification requirements

Applications

Newbuild and retrofit vessels, including installation during dry-docking, propeller replacement and propulsion efficiency upgrade projects.
