Diseño de la línea de propulsión con sistema de hélice de paso variable para embarcaciones marinas

Abstract

Most of the Ecuadorian shipping fleet does not have a propeller propulsion system with variable pitch, posing challenges in terms of energy efficiency, maneuverability, vibration, and noise, as well as in optimizing the operating costs. This project, one of its objectives are to implement systems that promote technological progress, respond to national problems, and propose solutions that are efficient, sustainable, and adaptive for the performance of vessels. The propulsive system with this type of propeller is designed based on tables and calculations, which allow one to select the different equipment and accessories that compose.
