Comfort
Volvo Penta IPS new technology leads to major
improvements for all comfort enhancing factors.
- The propulsion forces and vibrations are absor-
bed by the combined rubber suspension and
sealing.
- A U-joint in the drive shaft makes it possible to
have the engine soft suspended, which effi-
ciently reduces engine vibrations.
- The propellers are working in undisturbed water
with no cavitation, and have good clearance
from the hull.
- There is an increased number of propeller
blades to distribute the forces. This means that
the pulses created by the propellers have very
little effect on the hull.
- Exhaust fumes are truly minimized. First of all,
the new engine has very low exhaust emissions,
and secondly, the exhausts are emitted through
the propulsion unit into the prop wash and car-
ried well behind the boat.
Environmental care
The Volvo Penta IPS has been developed as a com-
plete system with excellent environmental perform-
ance as one of the main design targets. The very high
efficiency of the Volvo Penta IPS system gives greatly
reduced overall emissions.
Volvo Penta’s new D4/D6 in-line engines have been
developed from the latest design in modern diesel
technology. The engines have common rail fuel injec-
tion system, double overhead camshafts, 4 valves per
cylinder, turbocharger, compressor (Volvo Penta IPS
500), and aftercooler. The interaction of these, the
large swept volume, and the EVC system results in
exceptional diesel performance combined with low
emissions.
Installation
The Volvo Penta IPS system can be installed in vari-
ous ways, either as a compact system or with an
extended jackshaft, giving opportunities for different
boat designs.
The system is always used in twin engine installation
configuration.
Safety and quality
Heavy duty material throughout means excellent cor-
rosion resistance. Everything in contact with seawater
is either made from a specially formulated nickel-alu-
minum- bronze alloy or stainless steel. Propulsion
unit, bearings, couplings, etc. are all robustly dimen-
sioned to cope with the unexpected and ensure a
really long and trouble-free service life.
EVC handles all communication and monitoring
including shift, throttle and steering. Several safety
functions in the system minimize the risk of damage
to engine or propulsion unit.
The Volvo Penta IPS system is designed with full
redundancy, i.e. even if you have a total breakdown
in one driveline, the remaining one will bring you home
safely.
