Usual systems run at 12% air in the oil, but the Vortex design can reduce this to less than 3 % - leading to increased efficiency in the pulls of sheet winches, vital in race situations. Weight Saving Weight reduction is a key element in all modern boat design - power and sail - as such, removing excess quantities of heavy stored oil is an efficient way to save weight.The storage tank is only used to cool oil within the system and reduce cavitation. Using Lewmar’s Vortex can reduce the hydraulic powerpack weight by as much as 93% while improving running efficiency. 60ft 90ft 120ft 150 typical reservoir and oil 35KG 244KG 431KG 508KG vortex reservoir and oil 13KG 16KG 32KG 36KG % weight reduction 63% 93% 92% 93% ORTEX HYDRAULIC RESERVIOR
