Sailing Yacht "HANSEAT IV" - Machinery and Electricity

Propulsion:
One Main engine Type Lugger 6108A2
Rated output 300 HP continuous duty at 2300 rpm
Cruising rpm 1900 - boat speed 9,5 kn
Aquadrive 20600 fitted
Hundested controllable pitch propeller fitted, with 3 electronic Kobelt controls
combined with throttle controls.
The yacht can be maneuvered through either the gearbox or the pitch controls, thereby
offering a spare system in case of failure of one.
Generators:
One Northern Lights ML 984 - 25 KW, continuous rating at 1500 rpm, single phase, 50 Hz
One Northern Lights M 844 K - 12 KW, continuous rating at 1500 rpm, single phase, 50 Hz
Batteries:
Two battery banks made by Hoppecke of 1200 Ah each, Gel traction cell type, each
battery cell 2 V, linked to form 24 V. Banks are dedicated to either general services
(household) or hydraulics, but in case of failure switchable to serve the other, failing,
circuit or starter batteries.
Main engine starting battery: 2 x 200 Ah, 12 V, in series 24 V
Generators starting batteries: 2 x 200 Ah, 12 V, in series 24 V
All starter batteries are equal in size to enable them to be arranged so that each starter
battery can back up the other in the event of one failing.
Charging:
Three Mass 24/100 single phase 100 A chargers plus one 175 A Alternator mounted on
the main engine shall charge the service and hydraulic batteries. Starting batteries are
charged through the Alternators fitted to main engine and each Generator or shore power.
Inverters:
Three Mass 24/3500 resp. 24/2500 inverters supply AC power from the service battery bank
Synoptic panels:
These are located in the Navigation area and are divided into three sections:

First division, status lamps
a) Navigation lights
b) Water pressure pump running
c) Refrigeration compressors
d) Electric bilge pump running
e) Engine room fan running

Second division, Alarm warning lamps combined with flashing and audible alarm
a) Engine room fire
b) Lazarette fire
c) High bilge water level in any compartment
d) Low battery voltage
e) Low level keel tank
f) Black water tank full
g) Grey water tank full
h) Low level fresh water tanks
i) Low level fuel tanks

Third division, DC (a-d) and AC (e-j) system status with analog/digital read out meters showing
a) Voltage for cranking batteries
b) Voltage for services/hydraulics battery banks
c) Charge/discharge current for services/hydraulics battery banks
d) Earth leak conditions
e) Voltage
f) Ampage
g) Frequency indicator
h) Shore power polarity
i) Remote control panel for the Generators start/stop
j) Remote control panel for the air-condition system

There is a switch to change from Generator / shore power / Inverter and to load shed.
Steering System:
Hydraulic, twin helm pumps drive two unbalanced rams. System supplied by Gerhard Seegers. The system gives about 4,5 turns lock to lock. Full rudder arc 70 degrees. Rams are cross-connected and valved, so that in case of one ram failure, the yacht can run on the other ram alone for emergency. Safety and bypass valves are fitted.
Emergency steering by lever onto square on top of rudderstock. Tiller connected to control lines, which are lead to both primary winches.
Rudder blade fully balanced, glassed over foam with E-glass and Kevlar, stainless steel reinforced. Rudderstock solid stainless steel of 110 mm diameter.
Bowthruster:
The thruster is manufactured by Lewmar, Type SVT400, vertical retracting, 45 HP.
A PTO mounted at the front of the Main engine powers the thruster.
Joystick controls are mounted on each of the helm consoles. Audible and visual alarms are added to the consoles.
Engine and Bowthruster Controls:
3 electronic Engine controls manufactured by Kobelt are installed at each helm station and the chart table.
Each helm station also has a Joystick type control for the Bowthruster manufactured by Lewmar.

The above information is believed to be correct and complete. No guarantee however is given for its correctness
and consequently no damage, if any, for any error or omission are accepted.
