DETERMINING BEST EQUIPMENT LOCATION
POSITIONING OF THE RETRACT UNIT
IMPORTANT : Correct positioning is essential for correct operation.
(See drawing 1)
The turbines centre requires to be 675 mm (26
″
) below the water-line when fully
extended.
In other words the turbine should be at least one full diameter below the water-line.
The following considerations must be taken into account when determining the
position of the RETRACT.
→
The space available given the vessel’s fixtures, space and shape, and the
installation at the farthest point forward (or aft) while respecting the minimum
immersion of the turbine.
→
The structural compatibility of the mounting base.
→
The access needed for installation, and removal of unit.
→
Sufficient access for all maintenance procedures must be allowed for.
→
That the turbine when down is clear of all obstacles that might disturb water
flow.
IMPORTANT: Always check and make sure that there is enough room to allow for
complete removal of the RETRACT unit, and room for the connection of the hydraulic
piping.
NOTE: Always make sure that there is enough room for the manual override system.
