Lubrication Oil System

For the propellers that

have the lubrication oil
system together combined
with the sterntube it is now
possible to separate the
systems. In addition the
luboil for the hub will
circulate. In the system
there is also a sensor that
measures the water content
in the luboil.
In case you have a shaft
seal break down the water
will not reach the hub and
the propeller will not take any
damage.
Some ships that have had shaft
seal leakage where water has
entered the hub have
encountered major damage to
the propeller hub with the
subsequent need for a major
overhaul.

To save these costs the systems can be separated so

that the chances for damage by water ingress is
greatly reduced. Any future leakage from a blade seal
will be detected at an early stage by the water saturation monitoring unit. Repair can be arranged at an
early stage and possibly to coincide with a scheduld
docking.
