Dynamic airflow control for a marine vessel air lubrication system

An electronic device for air lubrication system control, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory with instructions stored thereon, wherein said instructions, once executed perform the steps of:
• obtaining an initial speed of a marine vessel;
• recording said speed of said marine vessel in a memory;
• obtaining an initial speed range from a table of speed ranges stored in a CFD efficiency profile database;
• determining if said recorded speed recorded in said memory is within a range of speeds appropriate for implementing air lubrication;
• implementing a pre-loaded CFD efficiency profile module data to determine which air injector ports require air, if said recorded speed recorded in said memory is within a range of speeds appropriate for implementing air lubrication;
• calculating a required flow rate of air based on the recorded initial speed and parameters from the pre-loaded CFD efficiency profile module data;
• implementing a startup and calibration sequence based on the required flow rate;
• increasing compressor output to achieve the required flow rate and modulating at least one valve opening to achieve said required flow rate;
• and
• stabilizing air flow for the recorded initial speed by modulating the compressor output and the at least one valve opening.
