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
