Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electric ship propulsion system and, more particularly, to a large ship propulsion system. It also relates to a ship so equipped.
  • Shipowners' request in terms of passenger ships, for a cruise ship function, for example, is to obtain larger and larger ships, in order to increase the number of passengers per cruise and, at the same time, time, offer them a maximum of cabins that have a sea view.
  • Propulsion propeller and hull girth problems are also encountered for vibration control, preventing good propulsive performance and low pulsation.
  • a propulsion ensured by a combination of several azimuth thrusters, also called “pods”, as opposed to propulsions by line of tree.
  • pod we mean a set of submerged propulsion, outside the hull of the ship and containing the engine propulsion.
  • Pods are complex products but developed enough to provide power up to 30 Mwatts. This solution has the advantage of fulfilling the steering function and the propulsion function by the use of steerable pods. In addition, the greater number of thrusters improves the redundancy of the system, in case of degraded operation by the loss of one of the propulsion elements.
  • the present invention relates to a ship propulsion system overcoming the drawbacks of the prior solutions, that is to say having a redundancy to ensure a minimum cruising speed and to obtain a power of propulsion with propellants standardized to a minimum and compact, at least in critical areas.
  • the combination power / diesel does not optimize redundancy of the system compared to a fully electric system.
  • the failure of a generator set forming part of a set of several generating sets constituting the ship's power supply network is not penalizing to continue to obtain the general operating power of the ship, because of Other generators in the network can provide the relay.
  • a failure of the diesel supply causes at least a temporary stopping of the thruster in relation to this power supply.
  • a fully electric power supply has the advantage of offering greater flexibility in the configuration of the ship, due to the possibility of placing the electric motors at a greater distance and at different levels. This is not the case for diesel engines, which are much more cumbersome.
  • the propulsion system of the central shaft line is, as shown in Figures 1A to 2B, consisting of a conventional propeller.
  • water-jet device that is to say a device installed inside the hull, consisting mainly of a duct water suction, a shaft-driven pump, a downstream rectifier, an accelerator nozzle and jet orientation and reversing devices.
  • the present invention therefore aims at an electric ship propulsion system, particularly large, comprising at least two side pods and a central shaft line.
  • the first great advantage of this configuration is the use of standard thrusters for pods and a shaft line, which is easily adapted to obtain the total power required.
  • the two lateral pods are found in conventional arrangements known and already applied.
  • the central shaft line poses potential problems with regard to the dimensions and the performances to be achieved.
  • a first level of generated problems is of vibratory type, which means that important vibrations are formed because of the disturbance of the wake by the skeg, ie by the extension of the keel of the ship at the level of the hull of the transom of the ship.
  • This problem is conventionally treated by wake regulating bulbs, as is practiced on ships with a line of trees such as, for example, on liquefied gas transport vessels. In this case, it is necessary to provide a complex boiler room, expensive and bulky.
  • a second type of generated problems concerns the power of propulsion to be achieved, in a compact volume to facilitate the integration of the latter in the central wake of the ship, and with a solution that can be standardized to the maximum so as not to unreasonably increase costs.
  • the present invention thus relates to an electric ship propulsion system comprising at least two rear side pods and comprising a shaft line provided centrally along the axis of the ship.
  • the propulsion of said shaft line is provided by a propeller pump consisting of a helix and a ring of flow orienting fins placed upstream of the propeller, a nozzle surrounding the helix assembly / crowns of fins.
  • a pump-propeller-type propulsion makes it possible to overcome the problems of propeller dimensions by keeping at least a power equivalent to a conventional propeller and to avoid acoustic and vibratory disturbances by an orientation of the propeller. flow output of the pump-propeller, which avoids cavitation problems.
  • the presence of the flow orientator fins makes it possible to avoid the need to set up a regulating bulb for the orientation of the wake at the entry of the thruster. In place, one can make a room simple and inexpensive such as a simple stern tube around the axis of the shaft for propulsion with central shaft line.
  • the two side pods are two pods of the propeller pump type such as that described in the patent application. WO 2005/110840 .
  • this thruster ie the compactness, the high power and the suppression of cavitation phenomena, offer a very suitable solution for large vessels. They allow to have more freedom on the shape of the hull and to avoid any phenomenon of "slamming" (in French “tossage”), thanks to the immersion of the transom of the ship.
  • the two rear lateral pods are two pods that can be rotated 360 °.
  • the invention also relates to a ship equipped with an electric propulsion system as described above.
  • the play at the hull of the helix of the pump-propeller is of the order of 500 mm.
  • the nozzle of the central pump-propeller is connected to the hull of the ship, in particular with the aid of an arm, in order to ensure a recovery of effort or an additional maintenance of this propeller, if this one is away from the plane of the ship.
  • a propulsion system 1 is seen from below at the rear part of the ship.
  • This system 1 is installed beneath the hull of the transom 2, at the rear of the ship, and consists of two side thrusters 3 consisting of pod s pump-propeller type, and a central propulsion shaft line 4, arranged according to the central axis 5, longitudinal, of the ship.
  • the central shaft line 4 consists of a pump-propeller 6 consisting of a nozzle 7 surrounding a propeller 8, flow-orientating fins 9 and a stern tube 10.
  • the central shaft line 4 is located behind the thin plane 11 of the ship, thin plane important because of the size of the ship and necessary for the landing of the ship.
  • the figures 1 , 2 and 3 highlight the function of the tube 10 relative to the junction with the thin plane 11. Thus, the flow at the outlet of the thin plane 11 is reoriented along the stern tube 10 to enter the pump-propeller 6, without disturbance wake.
  • FIG. 1 are represented the two lateral thrusters 3 disposed on either side of the central axis 5 of the ship, equidistant from the latter. They are located towards the rear of the ship. As stated above, they consist of pump-propeller-type pod thrusters, that is to say with a nozzle 12 surrounding a propeller 13 and flux orienting fins 14 (see FIG. figure 3 ). These two lateral thrusters 3 work in water flow.
  • the figure 3 is a three-dimensional view of the rear part of a ship with a propulsion system according to the invention. This figure highlights the compactness of the system according to the invention, with respect to the rear dimensions of the ship, as well as the possibility of obtaining a relatively weak game with the hull with thrusters providing the necessary power to the ship and not creating acoustic disturbances.
