Water jet propulsion pumps are widely used in many fields, with the advantages of high speed, flexible maneuverability and low noise. In the field of ships, it is used in high-speed ships, military ships, engineering ships and yachts to improve the rapid response capability, stealth performance and maneuverability of ships. In amphibious vehicles, water jet propulsion pumps are used as water propulsion devices to improve the speed and flexibility of vehicles in the water. In terms of water entertainment facilities, motorboats and water flying boards bring extremely exciting experiences with their high speed and flexible maneuverability. In the field of firefighting, water jet propulsion pumps provide strong water flow for fireboats and improve firefighting efficiency. In the development of marine resources, it is used for platform positioning and auxiliary ship transportation operations, providing guarantees for the safety and efficiency of marine operations.
Main application areas of water jet pumps
Ship field:
- High-speed ships: such as planing boats, wave-piercing boats, hydrofoil boats, hovercraft, etc. These ships usually require high speeds and good maneuverability, and water jet propulsion pumps can meet their needs, and have higher efficiency and better anti-cavitation ability than propeller propulsion in the medium and high speed range. For example, some high-speed passenger ferries, maritime patrol boats, missile speedboats, etc. all use water jet propulsion, which can improve the rapid response capability and combat effectiveness of ships.
- Military ships: The low noise characteristics of water jet propulsion pumps are very important for the stealth performance of military ships. In military operations, reducing the noise of ships can reduce the probability of being detected by the enemy and improve the survivability and combat effectiveness of ships. In addition, the good maneuverability of water jet propulsion pumps also makes military ships more flexible in performing various complex tasks.
- Engineering ships: such as dredgers, crane ships, salvage ships, etc. These ships need to turn and move frequently during operation, and the good maneuverability of water jet propulsion pumps can meet the operational needs of engineering ships. At the same time, the water jet propulsion pump can also prevent the propeller from being entangled or damaged by debris during operation, improving the reliability and safety of engineering ships.
- Yacht: Yachts have high requirements for comfort and aesthetics. The vibration and noise of the water jet propulsion pump are small, which will not affect the passengers’ riding experience. Moreover, its propulsion device can be hidden inside the hull, which does not affect the appearance design of the yacht.
Amphibious vehicle field:
Some amphibious vehicles use water jet propulsion pumps as water propulsion devices, which can enable vehicles to travel quickly on the water and have good passability and maneuverability. For example, some amphibious armored vehicles, amphibious engineering vehicles, etc. will use water jet propulsion pumps.Water entertainment facilities field:
- Motorboat: It is one of the typical applications of water jet propulsion pumps. Motorboats need high-speed driving and flexible steering. Water jet propulsion pumps just meet these requirements and bring exciting driving experience to drivers.
- Water flying board: The water jet propulsion pump provides upward thrust for the water flying board, allowing players to fly on the water. It is an emerging water entertainment project.
Firefighting:
On firefighting boats, water jet propulsion pumps can be used in fire hose systems to provide powerful water jetting capabilities and improve firefighting efficiency. And its good maneuverability allows firefighting boats to quickly approach the fire scene in complex water environments.Marine resource development:
On marine engineering facilities such as offshore oil platforms and offshore wind power installation platforms, water jet propulsion pumps can be used for platform displacement and positioning, making it easier for platforms to operate at sea. At the same time, water jet propulsion pumps are also used on some auxiliary ships for marine resource development, such as material transport ships and personnel transportation ships.
