The Wärtsilä WXJ modular waterjets represent the state-of-the-art in this field, delivering outstanding benefits and performance and offering a high-level of customisation with a wide variety of options available depending on the vessel type.
The Wärtsilä WXJ series of modular waterjets features an improved axial pump design, which boosts performance with an increased thrust of as much as 3 percent, while the improved cavitation margins help reduce the environmental impact by lowering noise levels. This axial pump design comes with a 25% reduction in mounting flange diameter, 10% overall weight reduction and a 35% increase in cavitation margin compared to its predecessor, the “LJ type” with a mixed flow pump design, while the small transom interface dimensions, and best in class weight are unchanged.
