KPM.P

Reliable data for shaft torque and power are vital for verification of propulsion characteristics of a vessel and for safe operation of the main engine. These data are also key figures for evaluation of hull and propeller condition. Fast response to deterioration in vessel propulsion is critical for cost efficient operation and optimal planning of docking schedules.

 

Kyma Shaft Power Meter provides continuous measurements of torque, power and revolutions of a rotating propeller shaft, using strain gauge technology. Optional equipment is available for the measurement of propeller thrust.

In standard form, the KPM.P equipment consists of two main parts:

  • Shaft power sensor
  • Display unit

Data ca be output to monitoring systems via:

  • Four analog output ports for each display unit.
  • RS-232 serial interface.

The Kyma Shaft Power Meter is a highly accurate instrument designed for marine use and manufactured according to the highest standard of quality assurance.

   

Special features:

  • Touch pad function keys.
  • Menu line mode information.
  • Selectable system of units -metric, SI or US.
  • Adjustable screen backlight.
  • Selectable integration time from 4 seconds to 24 hours.
  • User-friendly zero calibration procedure.

Output data includes both real time and accumulated values, providing instant information on:

  • Shaft power and rpm.
  • Direction of rotation.
  • Torque overload conditions.
  • Optimum pitch setting for c.p. propeller, when thrust is included.
  • Total revolutions.
  • Total energy (SHPh/kWh)
