Comfort
Volvo Penta IPS new technology leads to major im-
provements for all comfort enhancing factors.
– The propulsion forces and vibrations are absorbed
by the combined rubber suspension and sealing.
– A U-joint in the drive shaft makes it possible to
have the engine soft suspended, which efficiently
reduces engine vibrations.
– The propellers are working in undisturbed water
with no cavitation, and have good clearance from
the hull.
– There is an increased number of propeller blades
to distribute the forces. This means that the pulses
created by the propellers have very little effect on
the hull.
– Exhaust fumes are truly minimized. First of all, the
new engine has very low exhaust emissions, and
secondly, the exhausts are emitted through the
propulsion unit into the prop wash and carried well
behind the boat.
Installation
The Volvo Penta IPS system can be installed in vari-
ous ways, either as a compact system or with an ex-
tended jackshaft, giving opportunities for different boat
designs.
The system is always used in twin engine installation
configuration.
Safety and quality
Heavy duty material throughout means excellent cor-
rosion resistance. Everything in contact with seawater
is either made from a specially formulated nickel-alu-
minum-bronze alloy or stainless steel. Propulsion unit,
bearings, couplings, etc. are all robustly dimensioned
to cope with the unexpected and ensure a really long
and trouble-free service life.
EVC handles all communication and monitoring in-
cluding shift, throttle and steering. Several safety func-
tions in the system minimize the risk of damage to
engine or propulsion unit.
The Volvo Penta IPS system is designed with full re-
dundancy, i.e. even if you have a total breakdown in
one driveline, the remaining one will bring you home
safely.
Environmental care
The Volvo Penta IPS has been developed as a com-
plete system with excellent environmental perfor-
mance as one of the main design targets. The very
high efficiency of the Volvo Penta IPS system gives
greatly reduced overall emissions.
Volvo Penta’s new D6 in-line engines have been de-
veloped from the latest design in modern diesel tech-
nology. The engines have common rail fuel injection
system, double overhead camshafts, 4 valves per cyl-
inder, turbocharger, compressor (Volvo Penta IPS 350,
IPS 500 and IPS 600), and aftercooler. The interaction
of these, the large swept volume, and the EVC system
results in exceptional diesel performance combined
with low emissions.
The D4/D6 engines have emission levels that meet
the forthcoming, stringent US and EU regulations due
in 2006.
