The key element of any
boat or ship is its engine, in JENAL's instance, 2 engines. We chose a pair of
Volvo-Penta's D3-110
diesel engines, hydraulically coupled to drive the DuoDrive shaft with counter rotating props. |
 |
 |
Another
one of JENAL's less than normal (for a barge) applications is the
Duodrive
system. Counter rotating props to maximise on the energy used and make her
easier to navigate. |
| You
would think, a rudder is a rudder, yes? Well yes and no. If you really
want to become a 'rudder anorak' you will find there are many designs for
an amazing amount of benefits. Find out more. |

The
choice of bowthruster is unusual due to it being of the 'Archimedes Screw'
type rather than the conventional single or twin propeller propulsion.
These screw types are made by
ARS in Wakefield (UK) who realised that space (packaging) is important in all
boat layouts. Unfortunately these proved not to be powerful enough for
this 75 ton Dutch Klipper so ARS supplied 2 x 23hp twin propeller types
which were much better. |
| The
steering system is self-contained hydraulics by
Hydrosta. They are supplying their twin ram system which eliminates the
biased strain a single ram system generates on the steering shaft. |
 |
 |
The
Hydrosta hydraulic drive system
is an amazing piece of kit because it automatically
compensates for one, both or alternate engines driving the prop. Find out
more. |
| Bilges are usually
a place in boats that most people avoid but we rather like JENAL's
because
Cleghorn Waring have design them to be a dry and clean place.

 |
Cleghorn Waring
have designed the complete fluid handling systems on JENAL using
their range of Jabsco and Rule pumps plus the Hep20 plastic pipe system. |
| Navman
navigation equipment has been our quality choice simply because it is easy
to use and integrates with our systems including the Hydrosta hydraulic
steering. |

JENAL
is a home and located on water, as we know, water is cold. Therefore, not an ideal medium for living
amongst and making a comfortable home in? 3M Thinsulate to the rescue and
what a great rescue. |
| Webasto
Air-Conditioning has many advantages for JENAL, the ability to
alter her internal temperature from 18-32 degrees C, the simplicity of
installation and a reduction in duplicated equipment. |
 |
 |
Energy Solutions specialise in electrical power and panel
building for marine, vehicle and industrial applications. |
| Kinetico
water treatment systems serve JENAL. Their water softener is a
constant flow system and uses no electrical power to operate it. Their
drinking water system can cope with water from anywhere, which is
useful. |
