Transfluid hybrid systems represent an innovative and sustainable solution for the propulsion of boats used by maritime high schools and for oceanographic boats. These technologies are particularly relevant in countries such as France, Norway, Spain and Denmark, where the attention to sustainability and protection of the marine ecosystem is particularly felt. In this article we will explore the characteristics of Transfluid hybrid systems, their use in various countries, and the benefits they bring to the study of marine fauna and flora.
Transfluid Hybrid Systems
Transfluid is a leading manufacturer of hybrid propulsion systems for boats. These systems combine internal combustion engines with electric motors, offering a versatile and efficient solution. The main features of Transfluid hybrid systems include:
– Reduction of Emissions: Electric motors significantly reduce emissions of CO2 and other pollutants, helping to protect the marine environment.
– Energy Efficiency: The combination of engines allows for optimization of fuel consumption, improving overall energy efficiency.
– Operational Flexibility: Vessels can operate in electric mode in sensitive or protected areas, and switch to combustion engine when necessary.
– Silence: Electric motors are much quieter than traditional combustion engines, reducing noise pollution and minimizing the impact on marine fauna.
Marine Hybrid Transmission
The HTM700 marine hybrid module allows you to navigate at normal cruising speed with the traditional internal combustion engine; furthermore it allows the use of the vessel in protected areas with zero-emission navigation and in ports or marinas, where silence and reduced pollution are highly appreciated characteristics. While sailing close to the coast, the silent propulsion enhances the landscape and when you are at anchor you do not need to have the engine running to use the on-board services. Thanks to these characteristics, the tranquility of the surrounding environment is not affected.
Navigation with the hybrid module allows different modes of use: in Electric mode you can navigate at low speeds without emissions; in Diesel mode you navigate by fully exploiting the power of the combustion engine, being able to decide whether or not to activate the battery charging function simply by operating a button on the dashboard. The Booster option allows you to add that of the electric motor to the power supplied by the combustion engine, not only at maximum power but above all in the transitional phase, where it is possible to optimize the rotation speed by intervening with the electric motor for small accelerations or for variations in speed.
The use of the HTM700 marine hybrid transmission system is suitable both for the creation of new boat models and for the transformation of existing ones. This allows you to have a modern and eco-sustainable boat, without having to replace it. This type of solution is suitable, among other things, for a series of activities in which comfort is important and the speed required is not extreme: non-displacement or semi-planing pleasure boats, boats for the transport of goods and passengers, for river tourism, for rental, fishing, rescue. This solution will be increasingly indispensable for navigating in protected areas, or for being able to navigate in full respect of nature and the surrounding area.
Benefits for the Study of Marine Fauna and Flora
The adoption of Transfluid hybrid systems in vessels used for research and education offers numerous advantages:
– Minimization of Environmental Impact: By reducing emissions and noise pollution, hybrid systems allow research to be conducted without damaging the marine ecosystem.
– Improved Data Quality: The silence of the electric motors allows you to observe marine fauna more accurately, without disturbing the animals.
– Sustainability of Operations: The use of electricity reduces dependence on fossil fuels, promoting more sustainable research practices.
– Sustainability Education: Maritime high school students learn the importance of green technologies and environmental protection, preparing to become future custodians of the oceans.
Conclusions
Transfluid hybrid systems represent cutting-edge technology that combines efficiency and sustainability, ideal for the boats used
