Streamlining Solutions

        Introducing, the Marine Diverter, a cutting-edge, multipurpose technology designed to mitigate propeller cavitation and enhance thrust in high-load applications, such as those found in Inland River Towboats, thus leading to increased fuel efficiency. The device is engineered to effectively reduce the detrimental effects of cavitation, a common issue in fluid dynamics that can result in diminished performance and increased wear and tear on propulsion systems.

SET AND FORGET TECHNOLOGY

Marine Diverters are a true Set and Forget technology for vessels. Once installed, the diverters require minimal maintenance throughout the vessel's lifetime, making them a hassle-free solution. By effectively regaining lost efficiency caused by pressure fluctuations and boundary layer ingestion, Marine Diverters increase thrust, resulting in reduced fuel consumption per mile. Additionally, they provide the added benefit of enhancing crew comfort by minimizing vibration, making them a valuable and efficient investment for any vessel.

Diverter Benefits

Eliminate Slow Moving Boundary Layer

Increase Water Inflow Velocity to Propellers

Reduce Vibration and Divert Debris

  • Inland Towboats Suffer Tight Propeller to Hull Tolerances

  • Tighter Clearances Generate Less Thrust Per Rotation

  •  Eliminating Slower Moving Air Packed water and replacing with Dense
    Laminar Flow to Increase overall Performance

  • Higher Water Inflow Velocity Increases Efficiency of the Propeller

  •  As Inflow water increases the load upon Prime Movers Decrease

  •  More water moved thru the wheels in turn generates greater thrust

  •  Generating Greater Thrust Per Given Input Power

  • Less Cavitation Means Less Induced Hull Vibration

  •  Extending Hull and Machinery Life due to lack of Vibration

  • Increased Crew Comfort

  • Improved Working Conditions

  • Divert Logs, Ice and Debris from Critical Running Gear
