Rolls-Royce range of waterjets

Rolls-Royce waterjets – the new Kamewa S3 Light and robust nozzle and bucket. Improved feedback system. Precise steering and manoeuvring. 2 New improved bearing design giving ideal running conditions for pump seal with reduced wear and tear. Optimised pump design giving 2-3% higher propulsive efficiency.

Reduced transom flange diameter, less entrained water, lower weight. Inlet duct optimised for each type of vessel. The new Kamewa S3 stainless steel Alternatively, retaining the same size A revised bucket system cast in waterjet series builds on experience of waterjet offers a higher top speed stainless steel optimises the gained from the successful SII series. or less installed power and lower fuel distribution of material, providing a By using the latest design, calculation consumption for the same speed, or a robust but light manoeuvring system, and production techniques it offers a...

Rolls-Royce waterjets The pump unit is based on experience from the Sll range, now significantly enhanced by using the latest computer design techniques verified in the cavitation tunnels at the Rolls-Royce Hydrodynamic Research The cavitation margin has been increased so that in most cases a waterjet one size smaller will give the same speed. For maximum waterjet efficiency the inlet, pump, guide vanes and nozzle have been optimised. These images result from Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis with colours indicating pressure at different points, and assist designers in shaping...

Main data Main data Kamewa SL-series - S3 covers the larger end of the Rolls-Royce waterjet product range - S3 range will extend from size 50 - 200 - Sizes will be introduced progressively - Max power is related to high speed (+50 kts)

Waterjet controls are based on the Rolls-Royce common control platform, with a bus connection between the waterjet hydraulic actuators for steering and reversing and the bridge The touch screen at the control station provides the operator with a clear view of system status. Levers and control buttons are logically positioned and based on the latest Rolls Royce human/machine interface developments. The waterjet control system is easily interfaced with other Rolls-Royce propulsion equipment, DP systems Benefits of the Rolls-Royce common control platform: • Flexible solutions • Easy...
