Description

  

      Einrichtung    zum Abschmelzen von Gletschereis mit Hilfe von Wärme thermischer  Kraftwerke, zwecks Gewinnung von Schmelzwasser für den Betrieb  hydraulischer Kraftwerke.    Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich       auf    eine Einrichtung     zum        Abschmelzen    von       Gletschereis    mit Hilfe von Wärme     thermo-          elektrischer    Kraftwerke, zwecks Gewinnung  von     Schmelzwasser        zum    Betrieb hydraulischer       Kraftwerke.     



  Die     erfindungsgemässe    Einrichtung zeich  net sich dadurch aus, dass von dem in eine  Felsrippe verlegten     thermoelektrischen    Kraft  werk     Warmluftstollen    bis zu den Talwegen  unter den Gletscher vorgetrieben sind, welche       Warmluftstollen    in Heizkörper ausmünden,  die in das Gletschereis eingelassen sind, wobei  die Talwege des Gletschers unterhalb den  Heizkörpern durch Sperrmauern abgeschlossen  sind, so dass an diesen Stellen Stauräume ge  bildet werden, die durch     Schmelzwasserstollen     mit einem Sammelbassin verbunden sind.  



  In der Zeichnung ist. ein Schema einer er  findungsgemässen     Einrichtung        als    Beispiel  wiedergegeben, und zwar zeigt       Fig.    1 eine Draufsicht auf eine Gletscher  partie mit der darunter befindlichen Einrich  tung, und       Fig.    2 einen     Vertikalschnitt    nach der Li  nie     A-A    in     Fig.    1.  



  In dem dargestellten Beispiel bezeichnet 1  den Gletscher und 2 eine Felsrippe innerhalb  desselben. In dieser Felsrippe ist ein     thermo-          elektrisches    Kraftwerk, z. B. ein Atomkraft  werk 3, 4 untergebracht. Mit 5 sind Talwege  des Gletschers bezeichnet.

   Das rein thermische    Werk 3, und das die     thermoelektrischen    Ma  schinengruppen enthaltende     Elektrizitätswerk     4 sind durch einen Tunnel 6 miteinander ver  bunden, von welchem ein Schacht 7     mi    Warm  luftstollen 8 führt, die bis zu den Talwegen 5  unter den Gletscher vorgetrieben     sind.    Die       Warmluftstollen    8 münden in Heizkörper 9       aus,    die     in    das     Gletschereis        eingelassen    sind.

    Unterhalb dieser Heizkörper sind die Tal  wege 5 durch je eine kleine Sperrmauer 10  abgeschlossen, so dass diese Stellen     Sammel-          räume    für     Schmelzwasser    bilden, welche durch  Stollen 11 mit einem     Sammelbassin    12 ver  bunden sind.  



  Mit 13 ist der Zugang vom Gletscher zum  thermischen Werk 3 und zum Elektrizitäts  werk 4 bezeichnet. Vom     Sammelbassin    12       führt    eine Zuleitung 14 zum     Wasserschloss,     und 15 ist der Zugangsstollen vom Wasser  schloss zum Elektrizitätswerk.  



  Die im     thermoelektrischen    Kraftwerk 3, 4  erzeugte Warmluft, für deren Erzeugung  zweckmässig auch Abwärme     verwendet    wird,       wird    mittels nicht     gezeichneter    Ventilatoren  an die Unterseite der Gletscher heran- und in  die Heizkörper 9 geführt.  



  Die Verlegung des Kraftwerkes ins Hoch  gebirge, abseits vom dicht besiedelten Flach  land ist insbesondere dann zweckmässig, wenn  das Kraftwerk durch ein     Atomenergie-Kraft-          werk    gebildet ist, in welchem Falle ein      weitgehender Schutz gegen die     Radioaktivität     gewährleistet     ist.  



      Device for melting glacier ice with the help of heat from thermal power plants, for the purpose of obtaining melt water for the operation of hydraulic power plants. The present invention relates to a device for melting glacier ice with the aid of heat from thermoelectric power plants, for the purpose of obtaining melt water for operating hydraulic power plants.



  The device according to the invention is characterized by the fact that hot air tunnels are driven from the thermoelectric power plant installed in a rock ridge to the valley paths under the glacier, which warm air tunnels open into radiators that are embedded in the glacier ice, with the valley paths of the glacier below the Radiators are closed by barrier walls, so that storage spaces are formed at these points, which are connected to a collecting basin by meltwater tunnels.



  In the drawing is. a diagram of a device according to the invention reproduced as an example, namely Fig. 1 shows a plan view of a glacier part with the device below it, and Fig. 2 is a vertical section along the line A-A in FIG.



  In the example shown, 1 designates the glacier and 2 a rock ridge within the same. In this rock ridge is a thermoelectric power plant, z. B. a nuclear power plant 3, 4 housed. 5 are valley paths of the glacier.

   The purely thermal plant 3, and the power plant 4 containing the thermoelectric Ma machine groups are connected to each other by a tunnel 6, from which a shaft 7 leads to warm air tunnels 8, which are driven to the valley paths 5 under the glacier. The warm air tunnels 8 open into radiators 9, which are embedded in the glacier ice.

    Below these radiators, the valley paths 5 are each closed off by a small barrier wall 10, so that these points form collecting areas for melt water, which are connected to a collecting basin 12 by tunnels 11.



  With 13 the access from the glacier to the thermal plant 3 and the electricity plant 4 is designated. A feed line 14 leads from the collecting basin 12 to the water lock, and 15 is the access tunnel from the water lock to the power station.



  The warm air generated in the thermoelectric power station 3, 4, for the generation of which waste heat is expediently also used, is brought to the underside of the glacier and into the heating element 9 by means of fans (not shown).



  Relocating the power plant to the high mountains, away from the densely populated lowlands, is particularly useful if the power plant is a nuclear power plant, in which case extensive protection against radioactivity is guaranteed.
