Introduction

Asingleanswertothequestion“wheretoinstallthetransducer”cannotbegiven.
Thephysicallocationofthetransducerdependsonthevessel'sdesignandconstruction,how thehullisshaped,andhowthewaterrunsalongthehull.Therearehoweveranumberof importantguidelines,andsomeoftheseareevenconicting.
Note
Theinformationheremustbeconsideredasgeneraladvice.EachEK80installationmustbe handledseparatelydependingonthehulldesign.

Mountthetransducerdeep

InordertoachievethebestpossibleEK80performance,mountthetransducerasdeepas possibleunderthevessel’shull.
Considerthesituationswhenthevesselisunloaded,andwhenitispitchinginheavyseas.
Thereareseveralreasonsforthis.
1Theupperwaterlayersoftheseacontainamyriadofsmallairbubblescreatedby
thebreakingwaves.
Inheavyseastheupper5to10metresmaybelledwithair,andthehighest concentrationswillbenearthesurface.Airbubblesabsorbandreectthesound energy,andtheymayinworstcasesblockthesoundtransmissionaltogether.
394149/C

Page 48
SimradEK80
2Anotherreasontogodeepiscavitation.
Cavitationistheformationofsmallbubblesinthewaterclosetothetransducerface duetotheresultinglocalpressurebecomingnegativeduringpartsoftheacoustic pressurecycles.Thecavitationthresholdincreaseswiththehydrostaticpressure.
3Thetransducermustneverbeliftedfreeofthewatersurface.
Transmittingintoopenairmaydamagetheitbeyondrepair.Mountingthetransducer atadeeppositiononthehullwillinmostcasespreventthis.
4Ifthetransducerisliftedupfromthewaterduringheavyseas,itmaybedamagedwhen
thehullstrikesbackattheseasurface.
Thisisespeciallyimportantforlowfrequencytransducerswithlargefaces.

Avoidprotrudingobjects

Objectsprotrudingfromthehullwillgenerateturbulenceandownoise.Thiswillreduce theEK80performance.
Suchobjectsmaybezincanodes,sonartransducersoreventhevessel'skeel.Holesand pipeoutletsarealsoimportantnoisesources,aswellasroughsurfacescausedbybad welding.Alltheseprotrudingobjectsmayactasresonantcavitiesamplifyingtheow noiseatcertainfrequencies.
Donotplaceatransducerinthevicinityofsuchobjects,andespeciallynotclosebehind them.Forthesamereason,itisveryimportantthatthehullareaaroundthetransducerface isassmoothandlevelaspossible.
Eventracesofsealingcompound,sharpedges,protrudingboltsorboltholeswithoutlling compoundwillcreatenoise.

Stayfarawayfromthepropellers

Thepropulsionpropellersisthedominantnoisesourceonmostvessels.Thenoiseis transmittedthroughtheseawater,andmayoftenreducetheperformanceofyourEK80 system.
Forthisreason,thetransducermustbeplacedfarawayfromthepropellers,whichmeans ontheforepartofthehull.Positionsoutsidethedirectlineofsightfromthepropellers arefavourable.
Onsmallvesselswithshortdistancesitisadvisedtomountthetransduceronthatside ofthekeelwherethepropellerbladesmoveupwards,becausethepropellercavitationis strongestontheotherside.Thecavitationstartsmosteasilywhenthewaterowsinthe samedirectionasthepropellerblade,andthatistosomedegreethecaseatthatsideofthe keelwherethepropellerbladesmovedownwards.

Chooseapositionfarawayfromthebowthruster(s)

Bowthrusterpropellersareextremelynoisy.
Wheninoperation,thenoiseandcavitationbubblescreatedbythethrustermaymakeyour EK80Widebandscienticechosounderuseless,almostnomatterwherethetransduceris installed.
Andwhennotinoperation,thetunnelcreatesturbulence.Ifyourvesselispitching,the tunnelmaybelledwithairoraeratedwaterintheupperpositionandreleasethisinthe lowerposition.
Ingeneral,alltransducersshouldthereforebeplacedwellawayfromthebowthruster(s).In mostcases,alocationforwardofthebowthrusterisadvantageous.
However,thisisnotaninvariablerule.Certainthrusterdesignscombinedwiththeirphysical locationsonthehullmaystilloffersuitablelocationsnearthethruster.Ifyouareindoubt, consultanavalarchitect.

Summaryandgeneralrecommendations

Someoftheinstallationguidelinesprovidedfortransducersmaybeconicting.Forthis reason,eachvesselmustbetreatedindividuallyinordertondthebestcompromise.
Ingeneral,themostimportantfactoristoavoidairbubblesinfrontofthetransducerface. Forthisreason,therecommendedtransducerlocationisnormallyintheforepartofthehull, wellaheadofthenoisecreatedbythebowwave.Themaximumdistancefromthebowis normallyequaltoonethirdofthetotalwaterlinelengthofthehull.
