喷水推进器与螺旋桨混合推进系统应用分析

Analysis of the Hybrid Propulsion System of Waterjet and Propeller

结合南非海军3 500 t轻型护卫舰采用的喷水推进器和螺旋桨混合推进的典型案例,分析喷水推进器和螺旋桨混合推进的特点。说明喷水推进器和螺旋桨混合推进系统与柴油机、燃气轮机的联合使用可以有效发挥不同原动机和不同推进器的优点,使得这种推进方式既满足快速性,又满足经济性、隐身性和机动性多方面的要求。

An existing successful ship design,South African Navy 3500 ton corvette propelled by hybrid propulsion system of a water-jet and two propellers,was used to analyze the characteristics of hybrid propulsion system.For hybrid propulsion system,water-jets,propellers,diesel engines and gas turbines can work together in an optimal way.Performances,such as higher efficiency,lower noise,more operation modes,better maneuverability and so on were high lighted.
