Definitions

  • the invention relates to a propulsion device according to the preamble of claim 1 for use in an ice-going vessel.
  • propeller nozzles have been used in ice-breaking vessels. They offer the advantage of a significant increase (25 - 40 %) in bollard pull as compared to open propellers. Improvements in ice-breaking capacity have been based on high bollard pull in both breaking very thick ice and cutting loose a ship stuck in unpenetratable ice.
  • the goal of the invention is achieved by arranging the flow through the propulsion device so as to keep the passage of the inlet flow essentially free from any plugging obstacles.
  • the hull clearance of the propulsion device is made essentially larger than the thickness of unbroken ice in the operating conditions of the vessel.
  • the propulsion device according to the invention for an ice-going vessel is characterized by what is stated in the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • the invention offers significant benefits.
  • the inlet side of the propeller nozzle is kept fully free from obstacles that could hinder the passage of ice into the nozzle and therethrough.
  • the suction side of the nozzle is designed to have no flow-disturbing parts.
  • the nozzle propeller according to the invention can pass practically all ice clumps with dimensions smaller than the length of the propeller blade. These ice clumps are approximately at least 50 % thicker than the ice clumps that conventional nozzle propulsion devices can pass without becoming plugged.
  • the sensitivity of the nozzle to plugging at partial-power propulsion is reduced essentially. Resultingly, the operator of the ice-breaking vessel can be assumed to be able to use the suction-type nozzle propulsion practically without any problem of nozzle plugging even when running at partial power.
  • the hydrodynamic propulsion is estimated to increase as a result of the unobstructed suction-side flow pattern of the nozzle.
  • the additional flow resistance which is caused by the support structures arranged to the outlet side of the nozzle, is smaller than the gain obtained by the unobstructed inlet-side suction flow.
  • the propulsion device may now be steered in any possible direction.
  • the invention concerns the conversion of a propeller nozzle of the type shown in Fig. 1 into a suction-type nozzle propeller used in an azimuth propulsion device.
  • the propeller and the nozzle are mounted for azimuth propulsion in front of the vertical shaft of the traction-force exerting propulsion device.
  • FIG. 1 therein is shown a conventional prior-art propelling-force exerting azimuth propulsion device for use on an ice-breaking vessel.
  • the basic components of the device are:
  • the vessel hull la is made flat over the entire attachment area of the azimuth propulsion device.
  • the nozzle 6a is adapted immediately close to the hull la, thus permitting free azimuth steering of the propulsion device while keeping the hull clearance 9a to a minimum.
  • the vertical shaft 2a of the azimuth propulsion device is adapted to the front side of the nozzle 6a, and the nozzle is connected to the shaft by nozzle support struts 7a.
  • the vertical shaft 2a blinds a relatively large portion of the nozzle suction area. Thereby the passage of ice through the nozzle is restricted as the shaft offers a backing surface to the approaching ice chunks.
  • the propeller 3a is located in the interior of the nozzle and throat clearance of the nozzle is slightly smaller than the length of the propeller blade 5a.
  • the support struts 7a of the nozzle 6a form in front of the nozzle such a structural restriction that by itself limits the maximum size of ice chunks passing through the nozzle.
  • the diameter of the propeller hub 4a is relatively large thus also restricting the passage of ice chunks through the nozzle.
  • Fig. 2 Shown in Fig. 2 is a pull-exerting azimuth propulsion device according to the invention.
  • the vertical shaft 2a of the azimuth propulsion device is located in front of the nozzle.
  • the vertical shaft 2b of the azimuth propulsion device is at the rear of the nozzle with respect to the flow.
  • the nozzle support struts 7a are placed in front of the nozzle.
  • the nozzle support struts 7b are at the rear of the nozzle, in the exit flow of the propeller, displaced from the inlet flow area.
  • the nozzle of the azimuth propulsion device is adapted immediately under the hull with the nozzle-to-hull clearance 9a reduced to the minimum value permitted by the construction.
  • the nozzle-to-hull clearance 9b of the nozzle is most advantageously slightly larger than the thickness of unbroken ice under the operating conditions of the vessel.
  • a slight extra benefit can be attained by adapting a collar 8b onto the vertical shaft of the azimuth propulsion device, between the hull and the nozzle.
  • An advantageous shape of the nozzle can be, e.g., cylindrical, or alternatively, narrow-pointed in the direction of traction.
  • the collar 8b may be provided with a hydrodynamically advantageous, smoothed envelope so shaped as to optimally guide the water flow into the propeller.
  • the rear fin 10b of the vessel may be removed, with proper regard to the structural strength constraints of the propulsion device, from the hull, particularly when operating in multiyear ice.
  • the invention can be used with different types of nozzle profiles. According to the invention, most advantageously a nozzle is used which is optimized with respect to the traction force exerted by the nozzle in the traction direction.
  • the propeller hub 4b is most advantageously shaped on the suction side of the nozzle so as to permit easy passage of ice chunks through the nozzle.
  • the diameter of the hub 4b should be as small as possible on the front side of the propeller.
  • the hub design may be complemented with ice guides constructed on the hub that aid the passage of the ice chunks via the nozzle. Such guides act optimally by minimizing the power consumed in breaking the ice chunks and maximizing the increase of the longitudinal momentum component of the ice chunks as they pass through the nozzle.
  • the power transmission chain from the power source of the vessel to the propulsion device may be implemented in any suitable manner using either an electric, hydraulic or mechanical system.
