SoniHull
Ultrasonic anti-fouling system
- Environmentally friendly
- Increase fuel efficiency
- Cost effective
- Easy to install: no hull penetrations required
- Auto low voltage cut off at 11
- Volts to protect against battery discharge
- Effective removal of a wide range of algae
For hundreds of years mariners have been plagued with the same old problem of marine growth on the hull, powertrain and steerage gear of their yachts. With this come the problems of:
- reduced speed, due to extra drag
- increased fuel consumption, estimated at as much as 20%
- propeller cavitation (which in turn causes extensive damage to propellers)
- expensive annual haul outs and repainting costs.
Environmentally friendly
Tests show that there is no danger to fish, (but if they can hear the ultra high frequencies and don't like it, they only have to swim a few more inches away from the hull to avoid the problem!)
SoniHull will reduce your fuel bills
A clean hull can save you about 20% of your fuel bills, it is common knowledge that fouling on the boat's hull will lead to increased resistance, which basically means you are going to burn more fuel for every knot you make. The outcome is a compromised efficiency and more fuel usage than with a clean hull.
How does it work?
The NRG Marine Hull protection system utilizes the latest digital electronics and ultrasonic transducer technology, by producing multiple bursts of ultra sonic energy simultaneously in a multiple range of frequencies. This energy produces a pattern of alternating positive and negative pressure. The alternating pattern creates microscopic bubbles during periods of negative pressure and implodes them during periods of positive pressure in a phenomenon known as “cavitation.” The implosion creates a micro-jet action that not only provides the cleaning effect on the hulls surface below the water line, it also resonates and destroys single cell organisms such as algae. The removal of the initial link in the food chain inhibits the growth of barnacles and other marine life that feed on the algae.
Simple installation
- No hull penetration required
- Transducers are simply bonded to the inside of the hulls outer skin.
- For yachts up to 30ft. transducer should be installed in the rear 3rd of the yacht.
- For yachts up to 56ft. transducers should be installed 1/3 and 2/3 along the centre line of the yacht hull.
- Catamarans up to 30ft. transducers should be mounted on the rear 3rd of each hull.
- Catamarans up to 56ft. 2x SoniHull Duo system are required one for each Hull, and to be installed similar to mono hulls with spacing of 1/3 and 2/3 along the hull centre line.
