Optimizing propulsion engines: Normandy Control Group's contribution
At Normandy Control Group, we have a single ambition: to guarantee our customers perfectly optimized systems for maximum performance. We were recently called on board a passenger ship to meet a major technical challenge. Here’s a look back at our expertise.
A complex and essential mission
Following complete maintenance of its 4 propulsion motors, the customer required precise adjustment of the load distribution between the motors. This type of balancing is crucial to guarantee smooth sailing, limit component wear, optimize energy consumption and reduce operating costs.
As soon as they arrived on board, our technicians carried out an initial analysis, performing a complete diagnostic on each motor. This step enabled them to detect any irregularities in load distribution. They then checked mechanical and electronic parameters to ensure that pre-existing settings met the manufacturer’s specifications. Once the problems had been identified, our experts adjusted the motors to harmonize their performance. This fine-tuning was followed by real-life testing to validate the stability and reliability of the motors in continuous operation.
Before concluding, we provided the customer with a detailed report on the work carried out, together with recommendations to ensure optimum service life for these essential engines.
