HAMMAR H20R Hydrostatic Release Unit
HAMMAR H20R Hydrostatic Release Unit
Product Description :
- It is a safety device used primarily in maritime applications, such as on lifeboats or life rafts, to automatically release the raft or boat from its storage position in the event of an emergency. It is designed to activate when a vessel sinks or tilts to a certain angle, ensuring that life-saving equipment is deployed without manual intervention, even if the crew is incapacitated or unable to operate the release mechanism.
- The main function of an HRU is to release life-saving equipment, such as lifeboats, life rafts, or life jackets, from their storage or securing positions when a ship is sinking or in distress.
- They are used to ensure that life-saving gear is deployed automatically as the vessel sinks or floods, even if the crew cannot operate manual release mechanisms.
- They are designed to function automatically when the pressure from the sinking vessel triggers the release, making them a reliable means of ensuring survival gear is deployed.
