Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the new Rolls-Royce Kamewa S3 range of waterjets, highlighting improvements in design and efficiency over the previous SII series.
Key Features and Improvements
  • Bearing Design: Enhanced bearing design reduces wear and tear, providing ideal running conditions for the pump seal.
  • Pump Design: Optimized for 2-3% higher propulsive efficiency.
  • Nozzle and Bucket: Light and robust construction with improved feedback system for precise steering and maneuvering.
Design and Efficiency
The Kamewa S3 series utilizes advanced design, calculation, and production techniques to increase efficiency and reduce size, weight, and life-cycle costs. A smaller unit can achieve the same performance, reducing total weight by 25% and transom flange diameter by 12%. Alternatively, maintaining the same size offers higher speed or reduced power and fuel consumption.
Technical Enhancements
  • Propulsive Efficiency: Increased by 2-3% through optimized pump and inlet duct design.
  • Bearing Arrangement: New design maintains efficiency and reduces wear by controlling pump impeller to housing clearances.
  • Bucket System: Revised stainless steel casting optimizes material distribution for a robust yet light maneuvering system.
Product Range and Specifications
The S3 series covers the larger end of the Rolls-Royce waterjet product range, with sizes from 50 to 200 introduced progressively. Maximum power is related to high-speed applications (+50 knots).
Control System
The waterjet controls are based on the Rolls-Royce common control platform, featuring a bus connection for steering and reversing. The system includes a touch screen for system status, logically positioned levers, and control buttons, and is easily integrated with other Rolls-Royce equipment.
Global Service and Support
Rolls-Royce offers comprehensive life-cycle support through a global service network, ensuring profitability and value protection for investments. The company provides guarantees on all repairs, with duration depending on the work type and application.

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 components...
