Pump-Jet – Operating principle |
 |
 |
An impeller sucks in water through the intake
funnel, a protective grid in the bottom plate preventing foreign
bodies from entering the Pump-Jet. |
| |
|
 |
The impeller forces the energized water into
a diffuser, as a result of which kinetic energy is converted
into pressure energy. |
| |
|
 |
This energy transformation process is continued
in the diffuser, and the water is collected in the pressure
casing. |
| |
|
 |
The water is finally expelled through the
outlet nozzles at an angle of 15°, and thrust is generated
which can be steered through 360°. |
