Jet Control System - Extended

Propeller Shaft · Shaft Line & Propulsion

Class-certified type (DNV register) · technical data sheet not yet verified

The Kongsberg Jet Control System – Extended is an integrated hydraulic control and monitoring solution for controllable‑pitch propeller (CPP) shafts, providing precise thrust regulation and rapid pitch changes.

Inspection

Inspector Detail

Common issues

  • Position feedback sensor drift causing indicated pitch to disagree with actual blade angle
  • Hydraulic power pack pump or filter degradation reducing response speed
  • Servo/proportional valve sticking from oil contamination
  • Cable and connector corrosion in the engine room environment affecting signal integrity
  • Control cabinet/PLC card faults after long service periods

Inspection checklist

  • Verify pitch feedback indication against actual blade angle at reference positions
  • Check hydraulic power pack oil level, cleanliness and filter differential pressure
  • Test alarm and monitoring functions from the bridge and local control positions
  • Confirm emergency/local backup control mode operates correctly
  • Inspect cabling, glands and connectors for corrosion or chafing
  • Check servo valve response time against baseline

Service intervals

Hydraulic oil and filter changeper manufacturer schedule, condition-based on oil analysis and filter differential pressure
Feedback sensor calibration checkannually or per class PMS
Backup/emergency control function testper class requirement, typically at each survey

Critical spares

  • Hydraulic filter elements
  • Position feedback sensor
  • Servo/proportional valve
  • Power pack pump

Safety

  • Hydraulic system operates under pressure - depressurise before opening
  • Electrical control cabinets present shock hazard - isolate before internal work
  • Loss of pitch control affects manoeuvrability - always confirm the emergency/backup control mode works before it is needed operationally

Class survey

Function and alarm testing of the propulsion control system, including backup/local control, is typically required at periodic survey rather than a fixed teardown.

Estimated lifetime: As a control/hydraulic system rather than a mechanical wear component, service life is generally driven by component obsolescence and hydraulic contamination control rather than running hours - electronic components are commonly reviewed on a 10-15 year horizon.

Makers and authorised dealers rarely quote marine equipment without the vessel. With these details we can check availability and prices faster; without them we may have to ask first, which can cost a few days. If you cannot share the vessel, a photo of the equipment’s rating plate does the same job — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
