Chapters Covered

The manual is structured into an Application Guide, an Installation Manual, and a Remote Control System instruction manual. The following top-level sections and their primary sub-sections are included:

• 1. Preface — Reading the guide, electronic vs printed presentation
• 2. Introduction — System overview, propeller hub mechanism (sizes 30–86 and 94–121), shafting (propeller shaft, SKF coupling, single tube, OD-box type F, pitch feedback), remote control system (CPP-Basic), hydraulic system for hub sizes 30–86 and 94–121, back-up control, local control, emergency pitch control
• 3. Propeller Theory — Hydrodynamics and optimization of operation, load control, cavitation
• 4. Selection of Propeller Size — Rolls-Royce Hydrodynamic Research Centre Kristinehamn, cavitation tunnels
• 5. Shaft System — Shaft arrangement, earthing for corrosion protection, shaft locking device, support bearings, stern tube and seals
• 6. Technical Documents — Information for shipyard and customer, shaft system calculations, classification society approvals, drawings, installation and operating manuals
• Installation Manual — 1. Preface and 2. Safety Precautions — General safety, installation safety, starting-up safety, sea trial safety
• 3. Application Specific Information — Main data, propeller diameter, hub size, materials, weights
• 4. Installation of Propeller Equipment — Planning the hull, stern tube installation, installing propeller hub with/without blades, single tube for OD-box type F, mounting the hub, mounting propeller blades, SKF coupling, installing the OD-box, adjustment of OD-box scale
• 5. Hydraulic System Installation — Hydraulic oil quality, storage, installation, starting up and flushing
• 6. Remote Control System Installation — Drawings, arrival inspection, preservation of electronic equipment, power supply, cubicles, cables, connection of cabling, controls, FPS transmitter, RPM transmitter
• 7. Shaft Installation — Maximum run-out of shaft
• 8. Protection Against Corrosion — Permanent protection, temporary cathodic protection, protection of bronze propellers, cathodic protection for nozzle propellers
• 9. Sea Trial — Prior to trial, trial programme, technical sea trial
• 10. Technical Information — Recommended oils, lubricants and sealants, tools, conversion factors
• Remote Control System CPP-Basic Instruction Manual — Introduction, equipment and basic functions, signal routing, main bridge control station, bridge wing control stations, control room (ECR) control station, pitch control operation and function, RPM control operation and function, pitch indication, manoeuvre responsibility between bridge and ECR and bridge wings, lever synchronizing system, overload protection, load control, dimmer and lamp test, back-up manoeuvre, control failure alarm, remote/local RPM, RPM indication, clutch control

This manual is far more than a basic operating guide. It provides the full engineering context behind the Kamewa Ulstein P1 controllable pitch propeller system — from the hydrodynamic theory that governs blade design and cavitation margins, through the mechanical assembly of the hub and blade actuation mechanism, to the hydraulic and electronic control systems that set and maintain pitch. The installation manual section walks through the complete process of fitting a propeller hub, shaft, single tube, SKF coupling, and OD-box into a vessel, including stern tube preparation, blade mounting with torque procedures, oil filling, and scale adjustment. The hydraulic system chapters detail the pump units, valve manifolds, control valves, load holding valves, sequence valves, and relief valve settings for both hub size ranges. The remote control system documentation covers the CPP-Basic system in depth, including bridge and ECR control stations, manoeuvre responsibility transfer, combinator curves, load control, back-up manoeuvre, and clutch control functions.

What This Manual Enables You to Do

With this Rolls-Royce Kamewa Ulstein 30 P1/4 – 86 P1/4 Controllable Pitch Propeller Application Guide & Installation Manual, marine engineers, shipyard technicians, and fleet maintenance personnel can:

• Understand the complete system architecture of a Kamewa Ulstein CPP installation, including the propeller hub mechanism, shafting, hydraulic power pack, and remote control system
• Install a propeller hub, blades, single tube, SKF coupling, and OD-box according to the manufacturer’s step-by-step procedures
• Set up and adjust the hydraulic system, including pump unit installation, pipe connection, oil filling, flushing, and valve setting
• Configure and test the CPP-Basic remote control system, including control station changeover, pitch and RPM control, load control, and back-up manoeuvre
• Perform emergency pitch control procedures when the OD-box or hydraulic pipes are damaged or out of service
• Apply correct corrosion protection measures during fitting-out and in service, including cathodic protection for propellers and nozzle installations
• Carry out sea trials with the correct test programme and acceptance criteria
• Reference the correct oils, lubricants, sealants, and torque values for Kamewa Ulstein P1 propellers

Correct installation and adjustment of a controllable pitch propeller system is critical to vessel safety, manoeuvrability, and fuel efficiency. Incorrect pitch setting, hydraulic pressure, or control calibration can lead to overloaded engines, excessive cavitation, vibration, and in worst cases, loss of propulsion control. This manual provides the manufacturer’s specified procedures and values to get it right.
