INSTALLATION
Fully discussion and agreement are required with the ship owner
and dockyard in deciding the location for the hull unit. Give careful
considerations on mounting.
INSTALLATION POSITION
Select an area where noise, bubbles and interference from turbulences are minimal.
The point at 1/3 to 1/2 of the ship’s length from the bow is the best.
If the hull unit can not be installed on the keel, the center of the Trunk Pipe should be within 1
meter of the keel.
HULL UNIT
TRUNK PIPE
Be sure there are no obstacles to interfere the ultrasonic beam when the
Soundome is lowered.
Provide sufficient clearance around the Trunk Pipe for maintenance and
inspection work.
Install the unit so that the Flange comes above the draft at full load.
Make the bulkhead in consideration of safety to an emergency flood if you install
the Trunk Pipe in the engine room.
The Bow mark
(

)
on the Flange should be installed facing the bow of the vessel.
However, if this hinders maintenance or inspection, and there is no solution, direct
the mark to the opposite (180°) direction toward the stern.
