Diesel Hybrid Marine Engines
Thanks to the new SH range of hybrid marine engine solutions, Solé offers the possibility to combine the propulsion of the main Solé Diesel engine with electric propulsion when desired.
Hybrid Module SH450
The SH450 hybrid boat engine, with 8 kW of electric power, has been designed to easily adapt to any type of heat engine and transmission.
The mounted electric engine has a double function: it can work as an electric engine in electric propulsion mode and as a generator in thermal propulsion or standard mode. As a result, zero-emissions navigation is possible when needed.
This hybrid boat engine module combines three use modes differentiated between them:
- Electric propulsion, to navigate with zero emissions and without the noise of the main engine.
- Main engine propulsion uses the electric engine to charge the batteries.
- Booster function which adds an extra torque to the transmission line when an increase of acceleration is required.
Functioning
The connection between the module and the engine is controlled by a pneumatic system that acts on an integrated clutch.
When the engine is uncoupled, it disconnects from the transmission line and enables the vessel through the electric engine in the module. When the vessel is operated through the heat engine (the clutch is coupled to the hybrid module) the electric engine of the module becomes the generator and charges the batteries.
This module's third use allows operating the main engine along with the electric engine, obtaining an increase of the available total power (booster function).
