Marine Electric Horn

Marine Electric Horn

Description:

     A marine electric air horn is a type of signaling device that produces a loud, distinctive sound for communication and warning purposes in marine applications. It is powered by electricity and typically consists of a compressor, a diaphragm or trumpet, and a control panel. The compressor is the heart of the system, which draws in air and compresses it before sending it to the diaphragm or trumpet. The diaphragm or trumpet amplifies the compressed air and produces the sound. The control panel allows the operator to activate and adjust the sound of the horn.

     Marine electric air horns can be designed for various sound frequencies and output levels, and they typically have a longer service life than pneumatic or hand-operated air horns. They are also relatively easy to install and maintain. Marine electric air horns are commonly used on commercial and industrial vessels, as well as on pleasure boats, for signaling other boats or for use in emergency situations. They are often preferred over other types of air horns because they are more reliable and easier to operate.

Certificate: CCS

Standard：Rule 35, 36 of COLREG 1972 and SOLAS; IMO A. 1021(26) Resolution 2009 Alarm and Indicator Rules and 1972 the international maritime regulations for preventing collisions appendix 3 article 1 requirements, etc.

Application:

Suitable for vessels having length more than 75mts, and less than 200mts

Navigation and collision avoidance: In congested waters, such as harbors or shipping lanes, marine electric air horns are used to signal to other vessels to avoid collisions.

Emergency situations: Marine electric air horns are also used in emergency situations, such as sounding a distress signal or calling for assistance.

Docking and mooring: Electric air horns can also be used to signal dock and mooring personnel to indicate the vessel's arrival or departure.

     Marine electric air horns work on the principle of electromagnetism. The horn contains a diaphragm that vibrates when an electric current is passed through it. The diaphragm is made of a flexible material such as metal or plastic and is attached to an electromagnet. When the electric current flows through the coil, it creates a magnetic field that pulls the diaphragm towards it, causing it to vibrate and produce sound waves. The frequency and volume of the sound produced can be adjusted by changing the strength of the electric current or the tension on the diaphragm. The sound produced by marine electric air horns is typically loud and clear, making it an effective signaling device for communication in marine environments.

Superiority & Innovation:

1. Industry innovation technology. The motor is used as the motive force, and the eccentric shaft is rotated at a high speed through gear transmission, which drives the piston to reciprocate at high speed in the piston cylinder to compress the air in the sound chamber to generate whistle.

2. Adopt microcomputer "MCU" control technology. Realizing man-machine dialogue, according to the actual needs of the ship, it can periodically and automatically send out "fog horn" signals with different coded information that meet the requirements of international conventions.

3. Integrate the air compressor, air storage tank and pipeline into one. Save raw materials; completely solve the problems in the use process such as gas tank leakage and pipeline blockage; save a lot of equipment installation space, making the ship design more reasonable and flexible
