Netherlands-based WhisperPower, an international leader in the development, production and maintenance of hybrid energy and propulsion systems, has announced launch of products for the international commercial shipping industry.

WhisperPower has developed a range of products for this sector, which includes a choice of hybrid propulsion systems from 5 kW to 500 kW, robust industrial inverters for the conversion of DC power to AC, industrial battery chargers and compact generators, said a statement from the company.

For smaller vessels the company will supply the AC Power Cube range; powerful sine wave inverters available in 4, 7 or 14 kVA for single- or three-phase output voltage, it said.

As a result, it is now possible to feed larger loads from a battery-buffer so that the generator can be switched off for longer periods of time. With the quick charging DC PowerCube battery chargers, the battery can be charged up again quickly through the large on-board generator or by WhisperPower’s specially developed efficient and silent Genverter generators, it added.

With the Supreme Pro, which will be gradually introduced over the next 12 months, WhisperPower will be bringing a new range of industrial battery chargers to market, said a statement.

The battery chargers comply with all safety requirements as stipulated in the commercial shipping industry and can be supplied under certification. The 24 Volt / 40 Amp and 24 Volt / 60 Amp versions will be the first to be introduced making their debut during the various commercial marine exhibitions including SMM 2016, a leading marine trade fair, to be held next month in Hamburg, Germany.

Alongside the power electronics, WhisperPower also supplies compact, silent diesel generators from 4 kVA to 54 kVA with fixed or variable speed, depending on the model. All models can be supplied certified (CCRII, GL, DNV), it added. – TradeArabia News Service
