Azipod® 推进系统是一种无齿轮可转向推进系统，其转舵电机安装在船体外部的吊舱内。 Azipod® 推进器可以 360 度旋转，提高船舶的机动性和运营效率，与传统轴系系统相比，燃料消耗最多可减少 20%。

Azipod® propulsion is a gearless steerable propulsion system where the electric drive motor is housed within a pod outside the ship hull. Azipod® units can rotate 360 degrees, increasing maneuverability and operating efficiency of vessel, while cutting fuel consumption by up to 20 percent compared to conventional shaftline systems.

Azipod is a trademarked azimuth thruster pod design, a marine propulsion unit consisting of a fixed pitch propeller mounted on a steerable gondola ("pod") containing the electric motor driving the propeller, allowing ships to be more maneuverable.

Contrary to the other Azipod product platforms, Azipod CZ runs the propeller in a nozzle and is de-signed for the preferential use of the pushing propeller when driving in the ahead direction.

Azipod® XL是适用于大功率船舶的高效推进设备。 与Azipod® XO相比，通过在Azipod®推进设备上安装特殊导流罩和定子桨叶，以改善来自螺旋桨的水流，减少湍流和能量损失，并为船舶提供最佳推力，从而提高了效率。

Azipod® is the electrically driven propulsor with an AC motor incorporated in a streamlined azimuthing pod unit directly driving a fixed-pitch propeller. The motor is controlled by a frequency converter, which produces full nominaltorque in either direction over the entire speed range, including standstill.

1.1 Azipod propulsion and steering ily of larger Azipod products. Azipod is a podded electric main pro-pulsion and steering device driving a fixed-pitch propell riving in the ahead direction. Azipod CO is azimuthing (steering around its vertical axis) infinitely by 360° and is available in three different frame sizes for propeller

Azipod® propulsion’s success is due to a simple, yet highly robust design. With the electric drive motor housed within a pod outside the ship hull, the Azipod® system can rotate 360 degrees, significantly increasing maneuverability and operating efficiency of a vessel, while cutting fuel consumption by up to 20 percent compared to ...

Azipod propulsion is the suitable fit for all ship types that enable electric propulsion – from new LNG carriers to ferries. Icebreaker supply vessel Aleksey Chirikov is equipped with 2 pcs 6.5MW Azipod VI propulsion units

Here are 30 facts to celebrate each year of Azipod® technology’s success. How many did you know? 1. Since launch, Azipod® propulsion units have collectively logged over 20 million running hours – equivalent to 2,283 years. 2. The total ordered propulsion power for Azipod units exceeds 7,500 megawatts – enough to power about five million homes. 3.
