18,000 DWT Bulk Carrier Project
Jinye provided hub vortex fins, anti-vortex fins, and propeller boss cap trimming services for an 18,000 DWT bulk carrier to improve hydrodynamic performance, reduce fuel consumption, and enhance sailing efficiency.
PSV consists of a duct and several pre-swirl vanes positioned ahead of propeller. The vanes sign as FIN 1~5. PSV can correct the flow into the propeller which essentially reduce the rotational losses in the propeller slipstream and increase the flow velocity towards the inner radius of the propeller.The expected reduction of PSV is the range of 3% to 8%.
