The invention provides a method for installing and positioning a front-
propeller hydrodynamic energy-saving device, which comprises the following steps of: respectively defining two ends of a guide
pipe of the energy-saving device as a head end and a
tail end according to the head-
tail direction of a ship, and selecting at least three positioning points at the edge of the
tail end of the guide
pipe; the energy-saving device is hoisted to the rear portion of the designed position of the
stern; a
total station is installed behind the ship, the coordinate origin of the tail shaft outlet is found through the
total station, and the coordinate origin is the center point of the tail shaft outlet; monitoring the coordinate position of each positioning point by using a
total station, and adjusting the position of the energy-saving device; the energy-saving device is moved in the axis direction of the ship
stern shaft, so that the energy-saving device translates towards the ship, and the interference allowance of the energy-saving device and the ship is
cut off; and
welding is conducted after the energy-saving device is adjusted in place. According to the scheme, one total
station is used for positioning the three positioning points, operation is easy, accurate construction can be conveniently achieved, the construction period is shortened, and then the dock occupation time is shortened.
