Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods and installations for scuba diving in a respiratory mixture with hydrogen.
- the technical sector of the invention is the field of industrial scuba diving for interventions at medium and great depth.
- One of the main applications of the invention is the possibility of making dives from installations ensuring the immersion and the pressurization of divers up to a certain depth beyond 50 m, and allowing this diver to go and perform a given job, safely and efficiently, up to at least 650 m, thanks to the use of a ternary gas mixture called hydreliox, and containing at least helium, oxygen and hydrogen, then bringing said plunger to atmospheric pressure at the surface after a decompression phase.
- hydreliox which, during tests carried out in zones of accessible depth with heliox mixtures. has shown that it significantly improves the efficiency and working capacity of divers and, consequently, their safety and the reliability of human underwater operations. Hydreliox also allows divers to intervene effectively beyond the limits of heliox diving located, industrially, around 350/450 meters. Thus under hydreliox, the record depth of minus 701 meters was reached in 1992 at the depositor's Hyperbaric Test Center under the control of the team of Doctor X. FRUCTUS, certainly in a hyperbaric simulator.
- said person is pressurized to an absolute pressure Pi of at least 0.2 MPa with a first type of respiratory mixture not containing hydrogen;
- said person is supplied at least from this pressure Pi with a second type of respiratory pressure mixture P as a function of the diving depth p to which the person is made to descend, which second respiratory mixture is of the hydreliox type containing hydrogen at a minimum partial pressure of 0.33 MPa, oxygen at less than 4 # by volume, heliu at more than 0.1 MPa partial pressure and other gases such as nitrogen at less than 0.09 MPa total partial pressure;
- an enclosure filled with respiratory gas is maintained at all times at the desired pressure P up to the depth p2, that is to say in the case of mixed dive as defined below for the resumption of possible hydrogen leakage which would occur in the enclosure, ie in the case of diving to saturation with hydrogen during the decompression phase to modify the rate of hydrogen in said enclosure, it is circulated in a closed loop said gas mixture contained therein through at least one treatment circuit in which it is dehydrogenated before returning it to the enclosure; for this, said respiratory mixture is forced into said treatment circuit using a circulator and the gas mixture is thus passed through a catalytic oxidation reactor before returning the mixture of ga thus dehydrogenated in said enclosure.
- the necessary oxygen is added to the respiratory mixture circulating in said closed loop towards the plunger from an external high pressure reserve and through an oxygenator circuit, such that: by a first safety valve, a buffer capacity of a given volume is filled by the opening of an upstream charge valve, then, when the partial pressure of oxygen in said respiratory mixture which is then that of said enclosure, that is to say the one directly breathed by the plunger, drops below a given threshold, the charge valve is closed and the downstream discharge valve is then only opened through which oxygen escapes in said mixture to breathe, either towards the enclosure, or directly in the closed supply loop of the plunger, by at least one other safety valve.
- said person is pressurized and lowered into an enclosure which in this case is called a turret, until reaching the desired pressure and depth P2, using mixtures of respiratory gas not containing 'hydrogen; such a non-hydrogenated mixture is maintained in said enclosure for the duration of the intervention then of decompression; said person is supplied with a hydreliox type respiratory mixture using a circuit separate from those supplying said enclosure from the moment the person must leave said enclosure to perform his intervention and until his return to this enclosure.
- a respiratory mixture according to the present invention is such that it comprises oxygen at a rate of less than%, helium at a partial pressure of at least 0.1 MPa, hydrogen at the partial pressure of at least less than 0.33 MPa and at most 1.8 MPa, and other possible gases such as nitrogen with a total partial pressure of less than 0.09 MPa.
- the hydreliox respiratory mixture used meets the same composition criteria as those defined above but in addition, the t d the hydrogen must be such that its partial pressure is always less than 1.8 MPa for exposure times less than about six hours and preferably less than 1.2 MPa for longer durations.
- the partial pressure of hydrogen used is then at least 0.38 MPa.
- the interest of using such hydréliox gases only intervenes for intervention dives beyond 70 meters, which then defines a partial hydrogen press used of at least 0 , 5 MPa.
- said plunger is pressurized from the initial minimum absolute pressure PI up to the diving depth p2 of the desired intervention, feeding said person with the second type of respiratory mixture of t hydreliox whose pressure P is increased as a function of the deep diving equivalent p to which this person is lowered, this second type of mixture of hydreliox type must at all times respect in its composition the rates and percentages of previously challenged gas and sufficient amounts of hydrogen helium are added thereto, either simultaneously or alternatively so as not to locate in one of the areas of the nerve high pressure nerve syndrome; after the desired intervention at said depth p2, decompress the diver by making him breathe the same type of hydreliox gas mela which respects the proportions of the preceding composites and up to at most the pressure Pi of 0.4 MPa from which we replace the hydreliox mixture by any other type of non-hydrogenated respiratory mixture.
- the intervention dive consists after each immersion, to return immediately afterwards to the surface at atmospheric pressure: it can be carried out, either in an autonomous diving suit with a reserve of high pressure gas carried by the diver, at the surface request for which the diver is connected to the surface by an umbilical which supplies it with respiratory gas from a high pressure gas reserve, in a wet turret known as a diving bubble equipped with a gas reserve or in a hyperbaric turret with a decompression chamber on the surface .
- Saturation diving consists of confining divers in one or more hyperbaric chambers, generally located on the surface, at hydrostatic pressure equivalent to the depth of the site or the underwater operation: every day, the divers perform a underwater intervention with transfer under pressure in an elevator turret; decompression to return to atmospheric pressure only occurs at the end of the site or the authorized period of life in saturation.
- the saturation dive requires the use of heavy equipment, such as a hyperbaric chamber, turret, regeneration system, etc.
- the qualification of saturation state can be attributed to the types of dives exceeding a certain intervention time at - beyond which the decompression phases are in any case identical, whatever the effective duration of the dive; thus, it can be considered that, to obtain saturation with hydrogen, it is necessary to breathe this gas at the operating pressure at least for 6 hours: a duration of respiration of this gas below this period will therefore not be considered to be saturation with this gas.
- we take as practical limit of saturation the criteria of identical decompression curves, even if that does not correspond to what we can call physiological saturation of tissues which is to consider that there is as much gas not consumed and therefore not metabolized, dissolved in the organism than in that which one breathes.
- Figure 1 is an overall block diagram of a type of diving installation with box and intervention turret for applying the method of the present invention.
- Figure 2 is a set of curves representing the type of mixtures usable according to the present invention and explaining certain process steps thereof.
- Figure 3 is a diagram of a dehydrogenator according to the invention.
- FIG. 4 is a diagram of an oxygenator according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 represents an overall block diagram of a type of diving installation known to date with a set of surface saturation chambers 1, called decompression chambers, and an underwater chamber 5 making it possible to descend the divers to the desired depth such as a diving turret 5; this enclosure could also be what is called a diving bubble in which the diver can shelter at least at the level of his head but which cannot be isolated from the environment in which it is located unlike a diving turret, as shown in Figure 1.
- such a diving turret 5 has a lower door 9 which thus allows the diver who is the person 8 to perform the intervention once put under pressure P2.18, diving desired to exit the turret 5.
- said turret 5 remaining pressurized and filled with the respiratory mixture which allowed said pressurization to this depth p2.
- the plunger is then supplied by an umbilical 12: - either with the same respiratory mixture as that filling said turret 5. which allows the expired gases to be discharged therein;
- the respiratory mixture is recycled by a treatment system which then comprises at least on the one hand gas regeneration equipment known to eliminate in particular carbon dioxide and on the other hand an oxygenator of the type shown in FIG. 4, specifically in the context of supplying an enclosure, but which can be used in the case of a closed loop to oxygenate a mixture regardless of the enclosure.
- Said turret 5 represented in FIG. 1 can thus comprise an external breathing loop 7 such as precisely an oxygenator represented in FIG. 4 and inside its enclosure in addition to known regeneration equipment, a dehydrogenator 6 such as that described in Figure 3t especially in the context of mixed diving, to eliminate any hydrogen leakage which could be released inside the enclosure 5 in order to maintain the respiratory mixture of the latter not hydrogenated.
- an external breathing loop 7 such as precisely an oxygenator represented in FIG. 4 and inside its enclosure in addition to known regeneration equipment
- a dehydrogenator 6 such as that described in Figure 3t especially in the context of mixed diving, to eliminate any hydrogen leakage which could be released inside the enclosure 5 in order to maintain the respiratory mixture of the latter not hydrogenated.
- the compression or decompression of the plunger 8 to and from the depth 18 can be done in said turret 5 but preferably at least the decompression is carried out in a surface box 1, by sealingly connecting a side door 10 of said turret 5 brought to the surface after closing of the lower door 9 and kept at the pressure of the depth 18, to another corresponding door 11 of said box.
- FIG. 2 represents the different zones of respiratory mixtures defined by the present invention and on the other hand makes it possible to explain the process of pressurization, supply and decompression according to the present invention: thus, the zones 19 and 20 represented are those covering the set of hydreliox respiratory mixtures according to the invention with in particular the zone 19 up to 1.2 MPa of partial hydrogen pressure, preferably used for durations greater than six hours, and the zone 20 being able to go up to 1.8 MPa for shorter exposure times than these.
- the plunger 8 is in fact pressurized to an absolute pressure P1, l4, of at least 0.45 MPa with a first type of respiratory mixture not containing hydrogen and the minimum is supplied from this pressure P1 .14, said plunger 8 with a second type of respiratory mixture at the pressure P as a function of the diving depth p to which it is made to descend;
- the second respiratory mixture is of the hydreliox type containing hydrogen at a minimum partial pressure of 0.33 Mpa, oxygen at less than 4% by volume, helium at more than 0.1 Mpa of partial pressure and others gases such as nitrogen at less than 0.09 Mpa d total partial pressure.
- the final hydreliox mixture thus obtained is then maintained at the pressure P2 18 of the diving depth ⁇ 2 of the desired intervention and said person or said diver is authorized to carry out the desired intervention at this depth p2 by feeding it with this mixture .
- the pressure PI, 14 is confused with the pressure P2.18, from which for the intervention proper, said plunger is supplied with the hydreliox mixture according to the invention; in the case of a non-mixed dive, said plunger is supplied with a hydreliox mixture from a pressure PI, 14. lower than the diving pressure 18 and the pressure P of the respiratory mixture is then increased to this equivalent intervention depth 18 with hydreliox mixtures respecting the gas rates and percentages of the present invention.
- the curve represented 21 at the bottom of FIG. 2 below the zones 19.20, of hydreliox mixtures according to the invention is that of the known binary mixtures of oxygen and hydrogen.
- the abscissa axis of all these curves represents the partial pressures of hydrogen in Megapascal, and the ordinate axis represents on the left of the figure the density of the respiratory mixture obtained in grams per cubic decimeter and on the right l equivalent in meters of water of air mixtures having the same densities as those represented on the scale on the left: it is thus noted that at 600 meters of diving in hydreliox mixture comprising 1.8 MPa of partial pressure of hydrogen following the present invention, at the limit of the zone 20 defined above, the diver in fact breathes a gas having a density equivalent to an air dive at 70 meters.
- the curves 15 in FIG. 2 represent for the same given depths, from 60 meters to 60 meters, by way of example, the variation in the density of the respiratory mixture according to the invention, as a function of the partial pressure of hydrogen. which it contains and which appears on the abscissa: these curves are of course decreasing and linear at constant temperature.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 represent diagrams of devices according to the invention making it possible on the one hand to be able to carry out the methods as defined above and on the other hand to maintain the respiratory mixtures according to the invention within the limits of composition indicated below. -above.
- FIG. 3 is shown a dehydrogenator which makes it possible either to modify the rate of hydrogen in the saturation chamber 1 at the surface on demand during the decompression phase for example, or to eliminate any leakage of hydrogen in the case of mixed diving inside a diving enclosure or turret 5; this dehydrogenator can operate alone or in combination with a gas regenerator for removing carbon dioxide, for example.
- Said enclosure 1.5. is connected to said dehydrogenator respectively 4,6 which comprises at least one circulator which can be either a variable flow circulator 28, or a circulator of the VENTURI system type 27, or a combination of the two types.
- the dehydrogenation circuit also includes at least one catalytic oxidation reactor 22 containing catalyst which may be based on platinum or palladium: the flow of gas passing through this reactor is controlled by an automatic valve 29 controlled by an electronic regulator 30, so to maintain an optimum flow rate for the efficiency of said reactor. Its operating temperature is also controlled by this so-called electronic regulator 30 and serves as a decisional parameter for the possible automatic safety shutdown of the dehydrogenator in the event of the limit temperature being exceeded: the safety valves 31 isolating the entire circuit are then closed. 1.5. helium is injected through a valve 43 into said reactor 22 and said helium is purged through valve 44.
- a dehydrogenator can enable 20 Nm3 of hydrogen to be oxidized under an operating pressure of up to 8 MPa with a reaction temperature of 500 ⁇ C.
- Such a dehydrogenator can thus be installed in a diving turret 5 to eliminate any hydrogen leakage from a closed hydreliox supply circuit for the diver for mixed diving; but if we want to eliminate large hydrogen capacities as in the case of a 1.5 enclosure completely filled with respiratory gas which may contain hydrogen, during the phase in particular decompression, it is necessary to be able to eliminate the water produced by said reactor 22: for this, the dehydrogenator circuit then comprises a capacitor 23 at the outlet of said reactor 22, connected to a cold group 24 as well as to a separator 25 d water and gas at the outlet of said capacitor 23 which makes it possible to separate the water from the gas phase; this water is recovered in a capacity 26 and is then removed by automatic level control by means of a purge valve 32.
- Said electronic regulator 30 controls all of said valves 29. 31. 32, 43 and
- an oxygenator whose diagram is shown in FIG. 4: said closed loop or said enclosure 1.5 is then connected to an oxygenator 3 which comprises at least one buffer capacity 33 filled with oxygen provided on one side 'a charging valve 42 and the other of a relief valve 3. as well as safety valves 35: which charge and discharge valves are controlled by a regulator 37 connected to a sensor 38 for measuring the oxygen level in the enclosure 1.5. or in the closed loop supplying said plunger 8, and which opens valve 34 when said rate drops below a given threshold and only when valve 42 is closed; conversely, said valve 42 can only be opened when the automatic discharge valve 3 is closed.
- the opening time of said discharge valve 34 is a function of the difference between the set point fixed on the regulator 37 and the oxygen value read by the sensor 8 and regulator analyzer 37 with a lower maximum opening time. half the time between two oxygen measurements: thus, only a desired quantity of oxygen leaves 39 from the oxygenator via the automatic safety valve 35. either towards the enclosure, or in the closed loop and without any 'There is therefore a risk of accumulation of too high an oxygen level in the same place in too short a time.
- the arrival of oxygen 36 is provided by storage bottles located outside said enclosure 1.5. for example.
- said buffer capacity 33 can be doubled with a parallel circuit 40. in case one of the automatic charge and discharge valves 34.42 comes to fail.
- the safety valves 35 close automatically and a discharge valve 45 opens to evacuate and relax, outside the enclosure or the closed loop, the upstream area at the safety valve discharge 35; in the event of stop of operation e for safety reasons, these valves can only be reset manually then as well as the switching from one to the other of the parallel circuits 33 and 40.
