ULTRASONIC ANTIFOULING SYSTEM FROM AQUALUMA
Apr 25, 2016
The new Aqualuma® Ultrasonic Antifouling System (UAS) provides enhanced, targeted protection in all climates wherever it is needed – the hull, running gear, prop, rudder, IPS drive, stern drive, sea chest, seawater piping, sea strainer, thruster, stabilizer and more.
The system, which is scalable for any size vessel and hull composition (GRP Fiber Glass, Carbon Fiber, Kevlar, Steel or Aluminium), outputs a refined automated program of short ultrasonic wave burst signals through ultrasonic transducers.
The output from the Aqualuma UAS is up to 30% more for the same or less input than competing systems.
Each strategically placed transducer emits a specific digital low power frequency, which is beyond the hearing range of humans. The ultrasonic sound waves are emitted to generate a barrier at a microscopic level of moving water, which destroys the food source, algae, to prevent unwanted sea growth.
