The selection of Fast Patrol Boat (FPB) propeller ship to optimize machine usage of MTU 16V 595 TE 70l using Harvald Guldhamer Method and Engine Propeller Matching (EPM)

Abstract

To actualize a large, strong and professional Navy force, the Fast Patrol Boat ship repowering Diesel engine without replacing the ship propeller was done. Harvald Guldhamer Method and Engine Propeller Matching methods were used to obtain optimum results on the propulsion system and determine ship resistance. The analysis refers to machine diagram performance of MTU 16V 595 TE 70L The calculation result was used as an alternative comparison to Wageningen propeller series type B 4-85 at 91.975% propeller load with speed of 25 knot. It was still in a work area propeller engine which was outside of work machine area of 89,650%. Based on the fact that the propeller wageningen series type B 4-70 was still in the propeller engine working area of 94.909% propeller load, it can be concluded that there was a suitability between the power characteristics of the machine with propeller power.
