CRP Contra Rotating Propellers
The optimum electric propulsion system for single screw vessels
“Potential savings of CRP are assessed to | “
in the order of 6-20% of the powerconsumption with an average of 13%,
VY although higher figures may be presented
by industry for specific case"
Contra Rotating
Propellers (CRP)
A configuration of fixed pitch
propellers individually driven
through a unique shaft-in-shaft
system by electric motors.
This propulsion system recovers
part of the slipstream rotational
energy, which is lost with single
propeller configurations, and
thereby enhances the
hydrodynamical efficiency.
The blade numbers of the two
propellers are different to avoid
vibrational problems.
The aft propeller diameter is
smaller in order to stay within
the slipstream contraction from
the forward propeller.
The system can be driven by any
type of electric motors.System benefits
High efficiency
Robust
Low noise

Explore our new series of
Contra Rotating Propulsion
Systems
Brunvolls core competence in propulsion and gearbox design
has been utilised in this new series of the Contra Rotating
Propulsion System -a combination of known technologies.
This is an "off the shelf" series of standard configurations
consisting of 2 asynchronous electric motors and variable
frequency drives, standardised gearboxes and propellers with
predefined diameter and rpm, with BruCon Remote Control and
Monitoring System.
Blade designs will be customised to the ship for optimum
performance.Brunvoll CRP may also be optionally configured for other prime
mover solutions, for example a combination of electric motors
and combustion engines.
