PREFACE
1.1 GENERAL
The VAF ShaPoLi solutions is an unique solution to reduce CO2 emissions according to the new IMO
EEXI & CII. This completely unique and compact total solution can be used for activating an alarm when
the shaft power is exceeding the EEXI power limit.
The VAF ShaPoLi solution consists of a ShaPoLi Data Box (SDB-3) together with a Bridge Panel PC.
The Bridge Panel PC is a microprocessor based instrument for use with the T-Sense
®
Optical Torque
Measuring System and TT-Sense
®
Optical Thrust and Torque Measuring System. The T-Sense
®
is
providing torque, shaft speed and power as input for the ShaPoLi system. The SDB-3 starts logging the
data when the EEXI power limit is exceeded.
The robust ShaPoLi Data Box (as prescribed by the IMO EEXI regulations), can be connected to a large
number of extra inputs like GPS or one additional T-Sense
®
or TT-Sense
®
in case of twin screw vessels.
Alternatively one or two 3
rd
party torque sensors can be connected to the SDB-3 system.
To ensure safe and correct installation and operation, read this manual completely before
installing the equipment and starting operations.
The (micro) SD card should not be exposed to computer viruses, since this could
contaminate the (micro) SD card. Contamination could disturb good working of the system.
