Waterworld 4.0 i 7.5 i 10.0 i 20.0 i electric inboard motor 4 - 20 kW 48V

Review Watersport Tv online Epco Ongering Antaris Seventy5 with Waterworld 15 kW:
Looking inside, you'll immediately notice that the floor is completely flat and there's no engine compartment. A separate table has been placed in that spot, and the rest of the cockpit is empty in the middle. This is possible because an electric motor is installed under the floor. Electric propulsion systems are lower than diesels, and this even applies to the 15kW Waterworld electric motor. Just like the tender itself, the entire electric propulsion system is Made in Friesland.

Integrated
The 39 kWh battery pack is highly advanced and consists of three sections with 2,112 lithium-iron phosphate cells. This pack features a management system similar to those found in modern electric cars. The beauty of it is that the motor, management system, and batteries are integrated and everything communicates with each other. Should a cell fail, the entire system adapts immediately.
The clear Raymarine display shows you all the important data. Even if you've managed to charge your batteries at a restaurant, you'll see it immediately on the screen. In addition to engine and fuel consumption data, the display also shows chart data or other Raymarine options, such as a water echo image beneath the boat.
On test day, the weather was tough in Frisian weather. A strong force six gale battered the Frisian waters around the shipyard in Woudsend. It's immediately noticeable that the 15kW Waterworld electric motor has more than enough power to handle the strong wind.
The integrated display makes us happy, because when you sail very quietly (for example 4 kilometers per hour) you only use 350 Watts.
The display then indicates that you could sail continuously at this speed for up to four days, with a range of 385 kilometers. This significantly expands the cruising range of this power tender.
Energy consumption is incredibly low. At a speed of 8 kilometers per hour, we consume 1.6 kW, which we can maintain for more than 24 hours with the largest 39 kWh lithium battery pack. At this speed, you can achieve a range of 192 kilometers on a single charge.
At 10 kilometers per hour, you can tell by the waves around the boat that you've reached hull speed. At that speed, we're using 4.3 kW, which can last for over 9 hours and gives you a range of almost 100 kilometers. You can go even faster, around 14 kilometers per hour. But who wants that?

Advantages

• The WaterWorld motors are brushless asynchronous electric motors, which are powered by a 48 Volt battery pack and directly drive the propeller shaft.
• Quiet and clean. The WaterWorld engines operate silently. The silent motor drives the axle without any gears. Enjoy the peace and quiet and the clean air!
• Affordable. A complete WaterWorld system is no more expensive than traditional diesel. This is due to modern production, easy installation without water cooling, and minimal maintenance. The WaterWorld engine can replace diesel without much additional cost.
• Or consider a more affordable pod motor.
• Reliable. Proven Dutch technology and easy installation ensure you can rely on the WaterWorld drive system. That gives you peace of mind.
• Sustainable also means: Made in Holland. WaterWorld systems are manufactured in our own country by the skilled workers at Water World Electronics. And not in far-flung low-wage countries. And that means no transporting products halfway around the world.
• Easy to install with the adjustable engine mounts, which fit most existing foundations
• Motor and electronics in one, air-cooled. Water cooling is unnecessary. Super efficient – ​​Affordable and longer boating. The WaterWorld motor is so efficient that it produces very little heat. Therefore, no water cooling is required! This simplifies installation , eliminates the risk of clogging, and minimizes maintenance . Once on the water, another major advantage is your extended boating experience.
  
  
• Replacing your diesel engine? A new diesel inboard engine is no longer an option, not even considering the price!
  • 30 hp diesel: over 100 kilograms, 80 dB (loud conversation), 25% efficiency, annual oil change, winterization, environmental pollution.
    vs
    10 kW Waterworld: 76 kilograms, 45 dB (inaudible on the water), more than 85% efficiency, no maintenance, environmentally friendly.
    
    
• Very silent engines.
  
  
• Modern technology and design. Lifting the hatch reveals the sleek engine and electronics. But in everyday use, the modern touchscreen color monitor and the design of the throttle levers are particularly striking. Besides the standard display, you can also view all the information on your Raymarine screen or on your iPad via the dedicated WaterWorld app (iOS integration).
  
  
• Suitable for intensive and professional use. WaterWorld systems are also used in charter ships, tour boats, and work boats. The robust motors, which can also continuously deliver maximum power, make this possible. The same applies to the WaterWorld batteries, which can handle up to 3,000 cycles while retaining virtually all of their energy.
  
  
• A complete system with a 5-year warranty : that gives you peace of mind. The WaterWorld components are integrated into a single system. The engine, controller, batteries, display, and throttle all work seamlessly together via a CAN data connection. This way, you always have the necessary information on your display about the condition of the engine and batteries, and the remaining range.
  When purchasing a complete set, i.e. engine, Waterworld battery(ies), charger and DC distribution set, in combination with the mandatory commissioning and the prescribed annual maintenance, a 5-year warranty.
  
  
• Sailboats can regenerate: so you can charge your battery while sailing. With Waterworld, you can regenerate continuously.
  In a fully electric sailboat setup, you should consider 500 watts to 2 kW, depending on the speed from 10 kilometers per hour; in a hybrid setup (rigid connection to the propeller shaft), you can achieve up to 8 kW. This option is available for the 10 kW and 20 kW motor: WaterWorld Regeneration package for hybrid or regeneration for sailboats €695.

  • Example: the wooden sailing ship Boeier de Otter is equipped with the WaterWorld 15kW (see photo). The 'Otter' glides slowly through the doorway of the boathouse in Heeg, completely silent except for the sound of propeller spray. That was skipper-owner Peter van Heijst's primary goal: peace and quiet on board, even when the engine is running. This allows you to always enjoy your cruise, even when calm or a headwind in narrow waters forces you to spend hours on the engine. In the past, you'd have to contend with the clatter of a diesel engine. But the idea of ​​greener sailing also appealed to Peter, despite the relatively high investment costs involved.
    The power of a combustion engine can't be directly converted to that of an electric motor; the differences are too great. An electric motor, for example, delivers much higher torque at low RPM, and "a few more gears" also differs in the amount of additional energy consumption. Liters per hour suddenly become kilowatts per hour—simply a different calculation. The old diesel engine produced over 22 hp, more than enough to get the Otter up to hull speed.
    At a cruising speed of five knots, the electric motor operates at a leisurely pace, consuming 1.5 kilowatt-hours. (Source: Studbook of Round and Flat-Bottom Yachts). Quiet and clean.
• A traditional 14-metre/12-tonne Bolpraam has also been converted to electric with a WaterWorld 15 kW electric motor.
  
  
• For heavier boats the ePropulsion I-10, I-20, I40, H-100 Electric inboard motor 10-100 kW 96 V is available.

• Example AdmiralsTender 28: At 16 kilometers per hour, it exceeds hull speed, which is a step faster than you might expect. The electric motor is combined with three 5 kW Torqeedo lithium batteries. Good for a full day of cruising. With the fast charger, the batteries can be charged in just a few hours.
  
  
  

Hybrid .
The WaterWorld systems can also function perfectly in a hybrid configuration. Both as a parallel hybrid, with a diesel engine and a WaterWorld both driving the propeller shaft. They can also be configured as a series hybrid, where the combustion engine of a generator converts the mechanical energy into electrical power, which is stored in batteries and powers the WaterWorld engine.
Two parallel versions: 4 kW Hybrid version 4.0i and 10 kW Hybrid version 10.0i.

For Parallel hybrid requires customization and we need the following information for a proposal:

• Brand and type of boat and water length and displacement.
• Wishes regarding speed, sailing time and range.
• Is recharging required when sailing on diesel?
• Engine make and type.
• Maximum diesel engine speed.
• Speed ​​at 1500 rpm with diesel.
• Make and type of reversing gear (and reversing gear reduction).
• Available space around the reversing clutch.
  Clearance above the reversing gear or further aft around the propeller shaft is essential. Clearance in front of the diesel engine is not usable.
• Maximum applicable diameter for a gear pulley immediately after the reversing gear. Common sizes are 135 or 155 mm.
• How is the propeller shaft mounted and (in terms of power distribution) where is it positioned? Please also include photos.
• Space around the propeller shaft/flange of the reversing coupling with regard to diameter.
• Gear ratio.
• Corner of the arrangement.
• Propeller shaft and bearing arrangement (support bearing, python drive present).
• Propeller shaft lubrication; water scoop/auxiliary pump during electric sailing?
• Propeller type. This is used to determine performance, speed, and torque.
• What is known about the propeller and its speeds at certain revolutions per minute?
• Engine compartment ventilation inlet and outlet openings.
• Available space for batteries.
  
  
• A WaterWorld engine can be mounted above or next to the propeller shaft on a bracket, which is then fitted with a pulley.
  A separate engine bracket that stands on its own foundation above or next to the propeller shaft is also an option.
  The propeller shaft is fitted with a pulley, with a toothed belt ensuring transmission.
  Since the electric motor is mounted on vibration dampers and the toothed belt is tensioned (by means of a tension roller), the alignment of the electric motor must be correctable.
• WaterWorld pulley set consisting of two timing belt pulleys and a taperlock clamping bush for the propeller shaft and a toothed belt (HTD 30 - to be measured after installation). €455.
• Currently only a standard ready-made design bracket is available for the Vetus 42 PK.
  For custom-made bracket construction, a welding or construction company or yard will have to be engaged to weld a frame.
  First, the required kW electric motor and pulley diameter must be determined. Then, the frame dimensions and the legs for mounting on the surface or foundation (trusses) can be determined. This usually takes about a day's work, plus materials (estimated at €150) such as (stainless steel) angle brackets, bolts, threaded rods for clamping, welding electrodes, etc.
  Marinaut can supply the necessary drawings for this.
  
• Installation time for a hybrid depends entirely on engine mounting, available space, etc. 4 - 6 days.
• Excluding WaterWorld Service. Activities: - Preliminary installation support - On-site commissioning - Actual hours and travel expenses based on a post-calculation estimate of 8 hours at €85 per hour including VAT. In principle, the customer can purchase the commissioning directly from Waterworld, preferably a business customer. It is important that the installer is present during the commissioning. Sometimes, they may need to perform some fine-tuning, adjustments, and alignment at that time.
• Waterworld checks the installation and subsequent adjustment of the regeneration (lower and upper limits), checks the safety devices and limit switches for Morse code operation + test runs, checks under load, heat development in the motor, controller, and wiring, etc.
  Additional costs for hybrid integration with current engine; based on: Can Open; delivery of safety kit (including sensor on current throttle/reversing clutch); adjustment/test run of steering on existing setup (including torque/nominal load) €2,195.
