AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Conventional CRP pod propulsion systems are heavy, large, and lack redundancy, with independent operation of two-motor CRP pods failing to provide significant redundancy in the event of a motor or drive failure.
Method used
A CRP pod propulsion system with two independent, dismountable, and compact propulsion modules fixed to a strut, utilizing a single bearing arrangement and interdependent motor drives for redundancy, allowing simultaneous operation of both modules in case of failure.
Benefits of technology
The system achieves improved hydrodynamic efficiency, reduced size and weight, and full redundancy, enabling efficient operation even with one propulsion module failure, with modular components facilitating easier testing and maintenance.
