The main advantage of the nozzle is that it increases the thrust on the propeller. Comparing propellers with and without nozzles shows that the nozzle propeller offers about 25% more total thrust (nozzle and propeller) than an open propeller at zero ship speed (bollard condition)
Advantages:
· Give more thrust
· Give more pulling power
· Less fuel consumption
· Give more speed, from the same power input
· Less fuel consumption
· Reduced vibrations
· Safety in ice
Nozzles can be designed and supplied for all types of vessels, but are particularly suited for the following ship types:
- Tugs and pusher tugs
- Fishing vessels
- Research vessels
- Supply vessels and special ships
- Dredger and cable – laying vessels
- Inland – water vessels
- Vessels with full aft – end forms
