RT-flex50DF – CPP low-load operation in gas mode

View on the Local Display Unit (LDU) of WinGD’s X-DF engine in stable low-load/manoeuvring operation. The engine drives a controllable pitch propeller (CPP). This is most challenging for low-load gas operation as a very small torque is necessary, requiring very low gas feeding. The video is taken by ship’s crew during normal voyage, i.e. no test or demonstration run.
