Dust explosions are often catastrophic, causing irreversible damage and sadly, human fatalities. When an ignition source, such as electrical or thermal equipment, enters a space where there is a high concentration of dust in the air, typically in a confined building or vessel, extreme heat increases pressure in the space and causes an explosion. In such an environment, y...
1. Enhanced Safety – A Crucial Factor at Sea Safety is paramount in marine environments. Blade cells are designed with a slim, elongated structure that allows for better heat dissipation and improved thermal runaway resistance. In rigorous testing, blade cells have been shown to withstand punctures, crushes, and even nail penetration without catching fire—a stark contras...
Asymmetrical daggerboards provide a performance gain when sailing upwind, both in terms of heading and speed. Symmetrical daggerboards offer a gain in heading only. For other points of sail, the gain is negligible and depends on wind conditions and the type of daggerboard.
If you’re looking for a flexible option, renting might be the ideal choice for your next subsea project. Here are five key reasons why renting an ROV is a smart and cost-effective decision: 1. Flexibility for Seasonal Demands With rental, you can adjust your ROV needs based on project demand. Rather than buying a ROV, you can simply rent one once your project is confir...
