Miscellaneous Musings from the Technical Director
Once again, I am looking forward to offering a technical presentation at IBEX. This year’s topic is “Chronic Propeller Problems“. You can look for me in session 201 on Monday October 6, 2008 from 3:30-5:00pm. See you in Miami!
Chronic Propeller Problems
Do you know what the most chronic inboard propeller problems are? Do you know what early and prudent design decisions could have averted those problems? And do you know how to fix those chronic inboard propeller problems if a customer comes to you for repair? Virtually all propeller shops keep lists of the complaints that they attend to almost daily, and those lists are all very similar. They include: recovering RPM due to propeller overload; recovering speed loss due to propeller under-load; propellers and high shaft angle; what to do about root cavitation; propellers as the cause of noise and vibration; and identifying and eliminating propeller “singing”. In this seminar, we’ll share a wealth of tips and techniques for dealing with these familiar problems efficiently and effectively.
