Definitions

  • the invention relates to a submarine with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a submarine incorporating the features of the preamble of claim 1 is made GB 106,330 A known.
  • Submarines which are driven by one or more internal combustion engines, typically have at least one out of the pressure hull of the submarine outgoing exhaust pipe through which the exhaust gases generated by the internal combustion engine can be discharged from the pressure hull of the submarine in its outer environment.
  • a known submarine of this type has an exhaust pipe, which branches outside the pressure hull into two strands. One of these strands leads to an outlet arranged in the tower of the submarine, the other to an exhaust outlet opening on the outer skin of the submarine in the region of an upper deck.
  • This refinement makes it possible to discharge the exhaust gas from the submarine during snorkeling on the tower and when passing over the exhaust gas outlet opening provided on the upper deck.
  • an exhaust system for a surface vessel in which an exhaust pipe divides into two strands.
  • a controlled deflecting flap is provided, with which the exhaust line can be conductively connected to a first line strand in a first position of the deflecting flap and to a second line strand in a second position of the deflecting flap.
  • the off DE 33 21 782 C2 known exhaust system is not suitable, since in this always a wiring harness is open, so that in a dive on this open wiring harness water would penetrate into the pressure hull of the submarine.
  • the submarine according to the invention has a pressure body through which at least one exhaust pipe is routed, which branches on the outside of the pressure hull in at least two strands.
  • a valve is provided which forms a branch line.
  • the exhaust pipe is conductively connected in a first switching position with a first wiring harness and in a second switching position with a second wiring harness and in a third switching position closed.
  • valves with the valve with the exhaust pipe during normal dive trip, i. during dive travel below the snorkel travel depth, can be closed pressure-tight, but which also forms a switching device, with the optional line connection from a flow inlet of the valve to one of at least two outgoing of the flow outlets of the valve strands can be created while the other or the rest Line strands are closed by the valve.
  • the optional line connection from a flow inlet of the valve to one of at least two outgoing of the flow outlets of the valve strands can be created while the other or the rest Line strands are closed by the valve.
  • At least one outgoing of the valve for closing the exhaust pipe harness opens at one provided on an upper deck of the submarine exhaust outlet and at least one other arranged on a arranged in a tower of the submarine outlet.

  • each of these drive devices is preferably assigned a separate exhaust line guided through the pressure body. Outside of the pressure hull a valve designed in the manner described above is then provided in each of the exhaust pipes for closing this exhaust pipe.
  • the valve is preferably designed as a rotary valve. Accordingly, the valve has a valve body rotatably mounted in the valve body. Through the valve body, a flow channel extends such that, depending on the rotational position of the valve body, either a line connection is created from the flow inlet of the valve to optionally one of at least two flow outlets, or the flow inlet of the valve is closed.
  • the valve body is formed substantially spherical.
  • the flow outlets provided on the valve are expediently arranged at the valve housing at the same angle angled to a central axis of the flow inlet.
  • the flow channel extending through the valve body is also preferably angled, wherein the flow channel expediently encloses an angle which corresponds to the angle which the center axis of the flow inlet encloses with the center axis of one of the flow outlets. If the valve has a flow inlet and two flow outlets, this is through the valve body extending flow channel angled particularly advantageous at an angle of 120 °.

Because of the relatively hot exhaust gases that are passed through the valve, the sealing elements are preferably water cooled. For this purpose, cooling chambers may be provided in the valve housing, preferably in the vicinity of the sealing elements.
  • means for moving the sealing elements are advantageously provided. With these means, the sealing elements are moved away from a voltage applied to the valve body sealing seat. That is, with these means, the sealing elements may be moved to a position spaced from the valve body prior to switching of the valve, so that wear due to friction between the valve body and the sealing elements is avoided.
  • the means for moving the sealing elements on a control disc which is arranged on a guided through the pressure body shaft.
