3.1 Transverse Thrust Tunnel

Depending on design, the transverse thrust tunnel can be located in the bow, in
the stern or in the centre of the ship.
FK0001AC01.fm

Jastram delivers the propeller and the gearbox of the transverse thruster in a
tunnel section. The remaining part of the transverse thrust tunnel to the ship's
wall must be crafted by the client if necessary. In order to fasten the tunnel to
the ship structure, optional client-specific connections such as rings and plates

Version V2.3 Me 19
Layout and Function

are welded to the outside of the tunnel in addition to reinforcements in the pro-
peller and gearbox areas. The exact design is to be found in the drawings (see
chapter 11 „Appendix“ on page 57).
The transverse thrust tunnel is a part of the ship's outer skin and is delivered
with an anticorrosive coating.
In the propeller area the transverse thrust tunnel is reinforced with a ring of
stainless steel in order to avoid damages to the tunnel and the coating due to
cavitation.

3.2 Gearbox
The gearbox transmits the power from the prime mover to the propeller via
shafts.
The gearbox is installed in the motor foundation. Two support plates support the
gearbox additionally against the transverse thrust tunnel wall (exception BU10).
The gearbox consists of:
– Drive shaft
– Propeller shaft with installed propeller
– Cog wheel pairs
The cog wheels of the gearbox have cyclo-palloid gearing.
– Sealings on drive and propeller shafts
In the gearbox propeller shaft sealings and drive shaft sealings are applied.
These radial sealings are sea water resistant and oil proof.
– Inspection hole cap
On the gearbox housing there is an inspection hole cap. Through this open-
ing cog wheels, bearings and shafts of the gearbox can be inspected.

FK0001AC01.fm

20 Me Version V2.3
 3.3 Propeller
The propeller is connected to the propeller shaft of the gearbox by an oil-press
assembly.
The propeller is made of sea water proof marine bronze.
The propeller is designed to function in both directions.

3.4 Sacrificial Anodes

Sacrificial anodes protect important components against electrolytic corrosion.
The sacrificial anodes are installed in the transverse thrust tunnel. They are to
be found:
– Directly on the transverse thruster wall
– Behind the propeller hub
– On the bearing flange
– On the gearbox support plates
Sacrificial anodes must also be installed in the transverse thrust tunnel crafted at
the shipyard.

3.5 Lubrication Oil System

The lubrication oil system provides for a sufficient oil supply in the gearbox. The
lubrication oil system consists of:
– Oil tank with oil level gauge
The oil tank is installed above the water line, hence creating a static counter
pressure, preventing water from entering into the gearbox.
– Electric oil level control
The oil tank is equipped with a contact for an electric oil level control. When
a certain oil level is exceeded, the contact is switched. The contact must be
connected with the electric alarm system of the transverse thruster control
system.
– Oil pipe and bleed pipe
Oil pipe and bleed pipe connect the oil tank with the gearbox. The gearbox is
filled and the static oil pressure is transmitted to the gearbox via the oil pipe.
Through the bleed pipe the heated oil expands and returns into the oil tank.
– Bleed valve
The bleed valve is used to bleed air from the gearbox when oil is filled in.
The bleed valve is located on the motor foundation.
FK0001AC01.fm

– Hand pump with filling and discharge connection

The hand pump is used to fill and discharge the lubrication oil system. Oil
samples are taken from the discharge connection. The hand pump and the
connections are assembled on the oil pipe.

Version V2.3 Me 21
Layout and Function

3.6 Coupling
The coupling transmits the torque from the main shaft of the prime mover to the
drive shaft of the gearbox. A coupling spider absorbs the arising torsion vibra-
tions.

3.7 Optional Elements

Depending on the design of the transverse thruster optional elements may be
contained. Which optional elements are contained in the scope of supply is to be
found in the parts list (see chapter 11 „Appendix“ on page 57).

3.7.1 Active noise reduction

Cavitation occurs when the transverse thruster is operated. The active noise
reduction reduces cavitation and hence the noise. For this a compressor blows
air into the transverse thrust tunnel via an injector system.
For technical reasons a follow-up time is programmed depending on the type of
the compressor motor. The control for this is integrated in the control system of
the transverse thruster system and is not contained in the scope of supply sup-
plied by Jastram.

5.3 Assembly of the Transverse Thrust Tunnel

1. Insert the transverse thrust tunnel in accordance with the system drawing
(see chapter 11 „Appendix“ on page 57).
The gearbox of the transverse thruster may be installed in the ship vertically
or horizontally depending on the specific design. Which gearbox specifica-
tion is relevant can be seen in the system drawing.
2. Attention! The tunnel is equipped with reinforcements in the propeller and
gearbox areas and possibly with additional, client-specific connections.
The connection with the ship structure must only be established at these
reinforcements and connections. In this manner a deformation of the tunnel
is avoided and the propeller will not jam.
3. Attention! During welding the exact alignment of the propeller may change.
Never weld close to the cavitation protection ring and the gearbox.
Weld on the transverse thrust tunnel.
4. If necessary craft and weld the remaining part of the transverse thrust tunnel
to the ship's side.
5. If necessary apply sacrificial anodes in the transverse thrust tunnel crafted at
the shipyard.

5.4 Assembling the Propeller

The propeller is already assembled. If the propeller is not mounted to the gear-
box please contact Jastram.

5.5 Assembling the Protective Grid

The protective grid is not contained in the standard scope of supply, yet it is rec-
ommended to install one.
– Upon request Jastram delivers a grid drawing to aid assembly.
– If Jastram delivers the protective grid, see chapter 5.5.2 „Jastram delivers
the protective grid“ on page 28.
Falsely assembled protective grids can reduce the performance of the trans-
verse thruster. During assembly observe the following information:
 Assemble the protective grid in the cone. Do not assemble the protective
grid in the transverse thrust tunnel (see figure „Position of protective grid“ on
page 27).
 If no results are available from the previous model tests regarding water
flow, the rods should be inclined 15° astern (see figure „Alignment of protec-
MO0001AC01.fm

tive grid“ on page 27). This inclination reduces water resistance.

5.7 Filling the Lubrication Oil System

Before delivery of the transverse thruster the gearbox is checked using an anti-
corrosive oil. The oil is then drained. Hence the gearbox is delivered without oil
and must be filled with oil before the ship is launched.
Required amount of oil see chapter 11 „Appendix“ on page 57.

Skin irritations
Skin contact with oil can lead to skin irritations.
 Avoid skin contact.

Oil loss due to pressurized oil filling

If the gearbox is filled with oil using an electric pump, the lips of the shaft seal-
ings may be destroyed by the high pressure.
 Fill the oil into the lubrication oil system slowly and carefully.

Gearbox damage due to incorrect oil

Incorrect oilgrades can lead to gearbox damage.
 Never mix different oilgrades.
 Always fill in the same oilgrade used previously.

6.2 Staff Qualifications

Commissioning must only be carried out by:
– Qualified employees of Jastram
– Qualified employees of Jastram Service branches
– Qualified companies consigned by Jastram
– Qualified shipyards consigned by Jastram

6.3 Commissioning

Loss of warranty
If the commissioning is not carried out correctly or the commissioning protocol is
not sent to Jastram warranty may be invalidated.

Commissioning is usually carried out by Jastram. In case commissioning is car-

ried out by the building shipyard, the following check list must be applied.
This check list is only a basic aide for the commissioning. The check list is not
complete. It does not free experts from the responsibility of taking the actions
that according to their knowledge and experience are necessary in order to pro-
tect humans and the machine against injury and damage.
Commissioning must be documented carefully in a commissioning protocol. The
commissioning protocol must be sent to Jastram. Divergences must be noted
precisely.

Preparation
General:
 Check whether all safety directives are known and adhered to.
 Inform the master and the chief engineer about the commissioning.
 Check whether the ship is fastened adequately to the pier. If necessary
appoint a rope sentry.
 Check whether the distance between the pier and the ship is sufficient.
 Check, whether the depth of the water and the draft are sufficient for the
operation of the transverse thruster.
 Make sure that no ropes can be sucked in close to the transverse thrust tun-
nel.
Make sure that the transverse thruster cannot be started started without the
IB0001AC01.fm


permission of the commissioning staff.
 Arrange the schedule for the commissioning with all persons concerned.

36 Me Version V2.3
  Check that enough power is available for operation with 100 % revolutions.
Check the lubrication oil system:
 Check whether all oil pipes are rising and arranged and connected correctly
(see chapter 5.6 „Installing the Lubrication Oil System“ on page 28).
 Check whether the oil level gauge is filled up to three centimetres below the
top edge of the oil level gauge.
 Check that all valves are set to operation position (see chapter 5.9 „Setting
the Lubrication Oil System for Operation“ on page 33).
 Check whether the lubrication oil system is completely bled (see chapter 5.8
„Bleeding the Lubrication Oil System“ on page 33).
 Check whether the electric oil level control is functional.
Check propeller and gearbox:
 Check whether fouling has formed on the propeller. Fouling on the propeller
increases the power consumption.
 Turn the coupling four times and check whether it is turning freely. It must
not resist, neither should it have too much play.

Commissioning
1. Inform the master about the commissioning.
2. Switch on the transverse thruster.
3. Check whether the direction indicator corresponds to the actual direction.
4. Check whether the thrust can be felt.
5. Measure the reroute time between full power heading starboard to full power
heading portside and vice versa, and check, whether the times correspond
to the defaults in the following table. The reroute time is the time between
switching off the prime mover from full power portside to switching on full
power starboard or vice versa. The reroute time depends on the power of the
prime mover.

Direction change portside <> starboard

Power Reroute time
0-200 kW 6s
200-400 kW 8s
400-500 kW 10 s

7.1 Special Safety Instructions

Danger of life due to rotating propeller
Divers may be killed or injured seriously by the rotating propeller and the water
pressure. A protective grid does not offer any protection.
 During diving missions close to the ship deactivate the transverse thruster
system using the key switch.
 Pull out the key in order to avoid faulty operation.
 Report this operation immediately to the head of the diving mission for the
diving mission report.

Danger of accident
Unmonitored operation of the transverse thruster may lead to accidents. The
transverse thruster must never operate unobserved.
 Remain at the operating panels during operation of the transverse thruster.

Noise hazard due to cavitation

Due to occurring cavitation noise emission may occur during operation of the
transverse thruster system. The noises can lead to ear damage.
 Use suitable ear protection.

7.2 Staff Qualifications

The transverse thruster must exclusively be operated by nautic ship's crews.

7.3 Operating the Transverse Thruster

Preconditions
– The transverse thrust tunnel must be submersed under water completely.
– Ropes, nets or beams must not be located close to the catchment area of
the propeller.
BE0001AD01.fm

Version V2.3 Me 39
Operation

Maximum thrust is reached during standstill in standing water. With a rising cur-
rent or rising speed of the ship the thrust diminishes.
When switching from 100% portside to 100% starboard or vice versa a time lag
will occur. This time lag is necessary in order to avoid an overload of the on-
board power supply, the prime mover and the mechanical systems.

Operation
 Refer to the documentation from the supplier of the drive and control system
for details regarding the operation of the transverse thruster. Jastram only
delivers the mechanical components of the system without the drive and
control system.

7.4 Failures
 The electric oil level control is connected to the alarm system of the trans-
verse thruster system. Refer to supplier documentation of the control system
to find out how the alarm for an insufficient oil level is indicated.
 Failures caused by propellers that are not rotating or rotating insufficiently
can only be remedied by divers or by docking if they originate from mechani-
cal causes in the transverse thrust tunnel (see chapter 10.4 „Repairs“ on
page 54).
 In case of failures in the drive and control system refer to the documentation
from the respective supplier.

7.5 Avoid Fouling

 If the ship is not moved for more than a week the transverse thruster must
be run approx. 15 minutes in each direction one time per week. The severity
of the fouling depends on local conditions.

7.6 Active Noise Reduction Option

The active noise reduction consists of a compressor that blows air into the trans-
verse thrust tunnel via an injector system. The compressor starts up and stops
together with the transverse thrust motor, though different follow-up times are
programmed for technical reasons, depending on the motor type of the com-
pressor.
The motor monitoring system of the compressor is connected to the control
system of the transverse thruster system.
