LIPS HR nozzles

The LIPS HR (high efficiency) nozzles differ from the conventional nozzles through a special rounded leading edge and S-shaped outer surface. After introduction with small propellers (less than 3.5 m diameter) several hundred have since been applied to a wide variety of vessels. Full-scale tests on several vessels indicate an improved bollard pull in the order of 7-10%. This means an improvement of up to 13% in free-running conditions compared to a conventional nozzle.
