Is User Friendly

The ViscoFuel-2000 HFO Viscosity Control system offers highly accurate monitoring and control of Heavy Fuel Oil with user-friendly electronics. The SPL392 sensor is constructed of 316L stainless steel, is small in size and is eas- ily installed in a panel mount enclosure or a

NEMA 4 enclosure. The system will control a

Fuel Oil system at a user specified Viscosity (cSt) Set Point and will revert to a preset Temperature Control Set Point in the event that the system fails to measure viscosity accurately. The system can also be cal- ibrated in the field.

Pulse Drive Provides Optimum

Propulsion Choices

PSI manufactures the Pulse Drive, providing users with the following benefits: easy instal- lation; increased performance, fuel efficiency and speed; allowance for the use of optimum propeller diameter. Typically boats have up to 25 percent better performance from a stan- dard 12-degree shaft angle inboard or jets and there is a 10 percent gain over traditional

Mixed-Flow Impeller

PATENTED SYSTEM ' Kinetic Converter takes input shaft energy and produces usable hydraulic energy by the use of a mixed flow impeller • Steering Vanes continu- ously meter or proportion a percentage of the fluid flow to one or both sides of the vessel > Nozzles accelerate the mass of water creating a thrust force at the hull interface • Thrust Directors (optional) deflect the water flow forward or aft producing slow speed auxiliary propulsion • Electronic Control System controls the 360° thrust vector resultant from a fixed or variable speed prime mover rotating continuously in one direction. . There are no rotating parts that have to be stopped or started as thrust direction and/or magnitude changes. • HI f!. . . , . . •' * 30555 Solon Industrial Parkway • Cleveland, OH 440 5420200 www.omnitliruster.com
