Towing tanks
carriages

Design & Technology Department designs, manufactures and supplies towing carriages tailored to individual customer requirements.

The towing carriage is an indispensable tool for carrying out model tests of ships in deep and shallow water conditions.

APPLICATION

In particular, the towing carriage enables the following tests:

  • ship hull resistance tests,
  • propulsion tests,
  • free propeller,
  • streamline tests,
  • sea-keeping tests,
  • captive model tests,
  • linii prądu.

DEEP WATER TOWING CARRIAGES

The carriage creates a convenient platform for installing measurement equipment and carrying out various custom model tests.

SHALLOW WATER TOWING CARRIAGES

The device is equipped with a vertically adjustable platform for conducting experiments in waters of various depths.

Although the purpose of the towing carriage is to conduct model tests under conditions specific to inland waterways, it can be successfully used to perform various non-standard model tests, e.g. energy conversion devices used on rivers.

EDUCATIONAL TOWING CARRIAGES

The carriage can be used for testing commercial or educational models.

TOWED CARRIAGES

The towed carriage is intended to provide the possibility to test models of various marine structures in a model basin. A characteristic feature of the carriage is that it does not have a power supply and requires a towing carriage to be moved along the towing tank.

The towed carriage allows, in particular, to conveniently install the following devices:

  • models of off-shore facilities,
  • anchor simulator systems,
  • wave probes,
  • wind generators, as well as wind distribution and velocity meters,
  • model tracking systems,
  • optical flow measurement systems.
The CTO offer also includes:

  • advanced control systems,
  • Integrated Data Acquisition System (DAS),
  • a wide range of measuring devices used in tests of ship models and off-shore facilities.
