Propeller efficiency by thrust and torque measurement
Thrust measurement provides you with precise information on propeller efficiency in relation to the energy consumed. The effects of operational changes on the actual thrust, speed, torque and power are immediately visible on a separate (touch) screen. By using this input, your propulsion installation can be used in the most efficient way. Consequently this will reduce the fuel consumption considerably!

Since the fuel costs will be reduced remarkably, the ROI will only be a few months. VAF's shaft power thrust meter can be installed easily on both new building and existing vessels.

Besides the standard output of a thrust, torque, shaft speed and power signal, the TT-Sense® can be combined with VAF fuel consumption flow meters. Moreover, the TT-Sense® can be extended with energy consumption and propeller shaft analysis. All in order to gain an even larger efficiency!

The TT-Sense® holds the following benefits to help you reduce fuel costs:

•          Very high accuracy and repeatability
•          Propeller thrust and hull analysis possible
•          Pitch optimization
•          Cavitation detection
•          In line with SEEMP** regulation 
•          No time consuming mounting of strain gauges
•          User friendly interface
