Transport device, oils especially in arctic areas is used.

The invention relates to a transport device, which is used in particular in arctic regions.

In areas with extreme climatic conditions, εο especially in the Arctic, it wakes great difficulty Remove objects such as ore or oil. Since the beginning of 1968 there have been a few large oil friezes in Alaska I found what I was looking for in oil wells and since that time further wells have been very productive as well as extensive ones geological investigations the assumption LestHtiqt, daft in Alaska huge, buildable oil deposits of around 4 to 5 billion tons of oil are available.

Economic oil production in northern Alaka faces great climatic and technological difficulties in the way. The main drilling areas are to the north of the 60th parallel in an area with a winter period of 9 to 10 months and with temperatures »smell Sintis 50 to minus 60 ° C. During the only short Soran period thaws the deep frozen up to 300 "earth (Peraafrostsone) only 2 to 3 m deep and turns into a morass, because the meltwater that is created does not can seep away. The northernmost earthbound traffic routes therefore end in Alaska about βοο km south of the oil fields.

Special transport land vehicles can only bring a fraction of the required goods to the drilling fields with enormous difficulty. The removal of the oil by 8tra8enfahrceuge or railways separates from techno- ). logical and economic reasons to *.

To salvage oil in the Arctic Crisis has already been done made the suggestion that a tanker converted as an icebreaker should dare to attempt to destroy the waters Arctic Ocean from the east coast of North America Plow through Alaska. The cost is so huge, in particular the associated risks that this proposal will hardly work from an economic point of view will be realized. In the Arctic Circle, the speed of a ship that can be reached is very low, so that an economical transport of Ul is not possible with it. In addition, there is the great Gafahir in the Arctic Ocean, daθ the tanker is damaged and the outflowing Petroleum contaminates the water.

It was also planned to provide a pipeline in the arctic regions that would be cold-insulated. This pipeline should extend over a distance of 1,000 miles. The assumption was made that the crude oil filled into the pipeline at a temperature of 60 ° C is still flowable after more than 1,000 km at normal air flow speed. However, this proposal does not take into account ü ± o dangers that occur

if, for example, a pumping station is down and that Crude oil a longer time than intended in the so-called Permafrost zone remains, i.e. at arctic Outside temperatures that go down to minus 60 ° C. Then the oil solidifies in the pipe and can not or only be made flowable again with extreme difficulty. Pipelines still have the disadvantage that when they are damaged, enormous amounts of oil flow out, which leads to oil contamination as well as lead to oil loss. In northern Alaska, mountain and ice shifts take place, so that for buried ones Pipelines the risk of rupture is quite significant.

To solve this problem, an above ground installed pipeline system proposed, which consists of closed, lined up pipe sections, within which trolleys are arranged.

According to the invention, therefore, trolleys run in closed tubes, which are present in areas where climatic conditions result It is necessary to protect the trolley and / or the load against the effects of temperature and weather. This means that at the filling and unloading station no closed tube system available Needs to be and usually does not exist in order to fill and empty the transport trolley simplify su. Conveniently, the filling takes place the transport car takes place in a secret hall. Since the filling station is in the near or immediate area of the Oil heating is therefore easy nOgllch. The crude oil also has a sufficient drilling temperature at the filling station, so one itself low temperature reduction of the crude oil is not harmful would be.

The air heated in the support tube rises upwards and forms below the upper part of the inner wall of the support tube a tub-insulating air cushion so that this upper pipe part does not have to be double-walled.

It should be emphasized that the transport device according to the invention has great advantages over a normal pipeline, which is enclosed by a wide pipe, the space between the two concentric pipes being filled with white insulation material. In the case of a similar loss, the insulation would have to be very thick, because no "Mn" is developed in a single liquid, so that the transported liquid cools down more or less quickly. In contrast, the solution according to the invention does not require two full pipes. It is also needed relatively little or no f WJIrneisollenuiterial. If the inventive transport device breaks as a result of a natural disaster such as an earthquake or the like, then no crude oil can flow out, well eic! " this is located in the individual closed transport containers. If, on the other hand, a double-walled pipeline breaks, the oil will flow out into every trap.
