Abstract (en)
A fluid guiding device (200) for an azimuth thruster (100) is disclosed. The fluid guiding device (200) comprises an inner ring member (206) extending circumferentially about a longitudinal axis (A), and including a first inner ring member channel (244). The fluid guiding device (200) further comprises an outer ring member (208) arranged coaxial around the inner ring member (206), and including a first outer ring member channel (272) fluidly connected to the first inner ring member channel (244). The inner ring member (206) and the outer ring member (208) are movable with respect to each other in a radial direction of the longitudinal axis (A). Said configuration may allow to accommodate a radial movement resulting from a thrust force of the propeller which may slightly bend and/or displace the drive shaft.
