Section 2: SYSTEM OPERATION
The circuit breakers should be left on as long as possible
while the Seakeeper is spinning to remove heat from the
Seakeeper. During normal operation, the Seakeeper
should be stopped when pulling into port and stabilization
is no longer required. This maximizes long term life as it
allows the Seakeeper to start the coast down cycle before
cooling is shutoff. Once the vessel is secured in the slip
and the crew has shut down the generator and engines, the
AC and DC breakers that control the Seakeeper should be
switched to the OFF position. The Seakeeper will continue
to spool down to zero rpm. No cooling is required during
this time. Note Seakeeper 26 will take approximately 6+
hours to coast down to zero rpm from full speed. The
Display will indicate 0 RPM when the flywheel has stopped.
Note: The seawater pump may run for 5 minutes after the
Seakeeper is switched off and is coasting (with AC power
applied).
