Selection of mounting location of the Seakeeper<\/span> should consider the following desirable features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span> should be installed aft of amidships to minimize high acceleration loadings due to hull\/wave impacts during operation at high speed or in large waves.

  • The Seakeeper<\/span> should be installed in a dry space to minimize effects of corrosion.<\/li>
  • Clearance for all recommended scheduled maintenance and any repairs that may be necessary (see Figure 2).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Refer to Figure 3 for recommended clearances to transverse or longitudinal beams. Clearances aft of the Seakeeper<\/span> are shown to provide access for regular scheduled maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Safety<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    There is a large torque about the gimbal axis when the Seakeeper<\/span> is precessing. Seakeeper<\/span> cover panels are provided to prevent personnel or equipment from contacting the Seakeeper<\/span> while it is in operation. These covers should not be stepped on or have anything placed on top. The covers should always be in place during operation. If it is ever necessary to access the Seakeeper<\/span> while the flywheel is spinning, the Seakeeper<\/span> must be locked at the display to stop the Seakeeper<\/span> from precessing. Seakeeper<\/span> regular scheduled maintenance should not be attempted unless the Seakeeper<\/span> is locked and the flywheel has stopped spinning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Seakeeper<\/span> should be treated with the same respect one gives a high speed rotating propeller shaft or engine shaft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Noise\/Soundproofing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Seakeeper<\/span> noise has been measured under steady state conditions (no wave load) in Seakeeper<\/span>‘s Engineering Lab and in our Factory Demo Boat. The steady state noise at 1 meter is typically in the range of 64-68 dBC un-weighted. As the frequencies emitting the highest sound pressures are low (like other marine machinery), it is recommended that the Seakeeper<\/span> be installed in a machinery space that is already treated with soundproofing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
