Installation

The installation process of a KRONOS electric motor

Designed for easy and quick assembly, the KRONOS engine is “plug and play”, with only 3 key components to install. Furthermore, as it will have been sized and tested on a test bench, the installation will take place under optimal conditions.


Preparation of the boat

If this is a retrofit, we will remove all components of your old engine to create the space needed for your new ARION electric engine.

Installation of internal components

We will then install the energy management system and the battery bank, distributed according to the specifications and current regulations, in order to respect the centre of gravity and the waterline.

Installation of the engine

We will place the ARION electric engine in the dedicated space in the hull of the boat, then connect it to the rest of the system and the transmission in a “plug and play” mode.

Checks, tests & training

Finally, we will carry out validation tests in real conditions. We will also train you on the use and maintenance of the electrical system.

Maintenance & upkeep: what are the differences for a hybrid engine with ARION?

The ARION hybrid engine combines the advantages of electric propulsion with the flexibility of a thermal system. Although it requires a bit more maintenance than a purely electric engine, it remains less demanding than a traditional thermal engine. We ensure that interventions remain simple and infrequent.

Electric motors reduce CO2 emissions by completely eliminating the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the combustion of fossil fuels. By using electricity, which is often produced from renewable sources, they minimize their overall environmental impact. Thus, electric motors play a crucial role in the transition to more sustainable and climate-friendly navigation.
Charging technologies for marine electrical systems include various options:

• Classic socket (single phase): Allows standard charging ideal for equipped docks. Adapted to slow recharges, often included in port infrastructures.
• 3-phase socket (32A): Offers charging power up to 22 kW. It allows significantly faster recharges for three-phase compatible boats.
• CCS Combo Jack: Fast to ultra-fast charging solution, up to 200 kW. It allows recharging up to 2C, i.e. from 10% to 90% in about 30 minutes.
• Optional: High power CCS combo : Extended version that can reach up to 300 kW for even faster charging needs.

These charging options provide flexibility for the varied energy needs of marine electrical systems, allowing charging times to be adapted to different requirements and conditions of use. We work hand in hand with AquaSuperPower, which generally installs a fast charging station when an electrification project is launched in a port.
Professionals report positive feedback on the use of electric motors, highlighting their low maintenance costs, increased reliability, and reduced environmental impact. They also appreciate the quiet operation and consistent performance of electric motors.
Our electric motors comply with ESTRIN standards for inland waterways and the relevant division for maritime use, depending on the type of boat you have (Divisions 221, 222, 223 A and B, 224, 226, 240/NUC, 243, 245, etc.). All our boats are IP 67 certified (waterproof to a depth of 1 m for 30 minutes) and CE certified (Electrical Compliance).
The electric motor requires less maintenance and has a less complicated composition, which means that it has a much longer lifespan.
