Hydro-Pneumatic fenders are mainly special types of fenders developed based on submarines. They are mainly used for berthing submarines and ships with low free board and high draft.
The Hydro-Pneumatic fender is partially filled with water and air,equipped with a certain counterweight to maintain it in a vertical position.When docked, submarine fenders can help to keep small reaction forces which protect the hull well.The performance of Hydro-Pneumatic fender is mainly affected by the air to water ratio and initial pressure.
Hydro-Pneumatic Fender Characteristics
- Submerged contact area
- Low hull pressure
- Adjustable draft
- Movable
Hydro-Pneumatic Fender Applications
- Submarine Jetties
- Certain Ferry Types
- Oil Rigs
Hydro-Pneumatic fenders have relatively high installation technical requirements.SUNHELM has a professional technical team that can design the type, size and overall layout of hydro-pneumatic fenders according to the submarine's conditions.If you want to know more information, please feel free to consult us.
