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.
