Supreme Ventus®

SUPREME VENTUS®

The Supreme Ventus is an intelligent, durable and self-regulating sealing solution that guarantees zero emissions of oil for seagoing vessels. It has a constant air flow which prevents an oil-to-water interface and drains any leakage into a monitoring tank. You avoid the use of expensive bio-oils and can keep sailing in American waters with mineral oils.

HOW IT WORKS

Due to the extra air barrier between the oil and water-repellent lip seals, any leakage is immediately transported to the transparent drain tank. A periodically generated vacuum ensures that the drain channel remains clean. The Air Control Unit (ACU) monitors the condition of the aft seal (SVA) and lets you know the status of the seal at any time.

The Supreme Ventus complies with the VGP and VIDA regulations because a constant airflow separates the oil and water-repellent lip seals. Because the pressure in the seal is adjusted to the water pressure, there is compensation for every draft. This results in minimal wear on the liner and lip seals. The Supreme Ventus is available for shaft diameters from 116 to 1150 millimetres.

MATERIALS

The Supreme Ventus consists of high-quality bronze housing parts, an aft seal with valve (SVA), a stainless steel liner and ACU. The aft seal has two water-repellent and one oil-repellent rubber (NBR or FKM) lip seal. The forward seal consists of two oil-repellent lip seals and is lubricated by a compact circulation tank. A corresponding header tank, to which all necessary connections have already been made, is available as an option.
