Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a liferaft system
  • a liferaft system comprising a container containing an inflatable liferaft and means for inflating the liferaft by means of an inflating gas, preferably carbon dioxide or a mixture of gases.
  • an inflating gas preferably carbon dioxide or a mixture of gases.
  • Inflatable liferafts enclosed in the self-opening containers are well known and are used as mandatory life-saving equipment throughout the world on almost any commercial ship and vessel.
  • the liferaft is inflated with an inflation gas preferably carbon dioxide from a gas cylinder.
  • the gas cylinder is attached to the liferaft, and the gas is distributed from the cylinder into the inflatable chambers.
  • the gas from one cylinder can be distributed to one or more inflation inlets on the liferaft.
  • an apparatus has been provided to alleviate the problem caused when cold inflation gases impact inflation chamber surfaces.
  • One such apparatus is an elongated, porous sleeve having a longitudinal passage and a side opening.
  • the sleeve is positioned over the gas inlet valve with the outlet openings within the side opening of the sleeve. Gas emanating from the outlet openings passes axially through the longitudinal passage toward either end of the sleeve, and is dispersed through the sleeve material into the inflation chamber.
  • An object of the present invention is to wholly or partly overcome the above disadvantages and drawbacks of the prior art. More specifically, it is an object to provide a liferaft system with fast inflation and minimise the carbon dioxide snow formation.
  • the container furthermore contains means for heating the system.
  • heating means it is possible to minimise or avoid carbon dioxide snow, and it will furthermore be possible to avoid that the container will be covered by ice.
  • liferaft has in this application the meaning inflatable, lifesaving equipment such as liferaft, platform and dinghy.
  • the system can be provided with heated gas.
  • the heated gas can e.g. be blown into the container.
  • the gas is a dry heated gas e.g. air.
  • the system according to the invention as defined by claim 1 comprises electric heating cables.
  • the heating cables can be placed inside the container in one or both container parts; the electric heating cables can furthermore be isolated from the liferaft.
  • Another embodiment according to the invention is to cast or embed the electric cables into the container parts.
  • the system according to the invention as defined by claim 2 comprises one or more heating mats.
  • the heating mat is heated with electricity.
  • An electric heated mat can be provided with cables running forwards and backwards inside the mat.
  • the system according to the invention can furthermore be provided with electric heating cables uniformly distributed in channels on one side of the mat.
  • the electric cables according to the invention can furthermore be cast or embedded into one or more elastic mats.
  • the elastic material can be a plastic material or a rubber, e.g. a silicone rubber.
  • a system according to the invention can furthermore be provided with one or more mats which wholly or partly encircle the liferaft.
  • the system according to the invention has an openable container to allow deployment of the liferaft, said openable container consists of at least two container parts.
  • the system according to the invention can furthermore be provided with one or more heating mats placed in the container parts.
  • the mats can furthermore be attached to the inside of the container parts e.g. with two-sided tape.
  • Fig. 1 shows schematically a view down in a container with a heating mat.
  • the figure is highly schematic and not necessarily to scale, and it shows only parts which are necessary in order to elucidate the invention, other parts being omitted or merely suggested.
  • FIG. 1 an embodiment of the liferaft system is shown schematically with only one part of the container and without the liferaft and the gas cylinder.
  • the means for heating are shown schematically in a diagonally downward view.
  • one part of the container 1 is shown with heating mats 2 attached to the inside of the container part 1.
  • three mats are attached to the inside of the container. The three mats are placed parallel and the mats are connected in series to each other. A not shown temperature relay is connected with the mats and secures that the liferaft system is not overheated.
  • the three mats are connected in series to an electric power station outside the container and not shown on the figure. The electric mats and power cables are protected against water.
  • the container In the figure, only one part of the container is shown, but the other part can as well be heated with electric heated mats.
  • the electric supply cable from the container to the power station is connected with a well known hydrostatic release unit e.g. a Hammer release unit. This unit secures that the liferaft can float freely in relation to the heat power station in case the ship or the vessel goes down.
  • the heating mats are preferably made of an elastic material. In the shown embodiment, an electric heating wire is cast or embedded into a silicone mat.
  • the system may comprise a dehumidifier/heater.
  • the dehumidifier/heater is adapted to dehumidify as well as heat a gas to a predetermined temperature, whereinafter said dehumidified and heated gas is led to the container and is being used for heating the system.
  • the gas is air.
  • the container may comprise an inlet for the dehumidified and heated gas as well as an outlet, for discharging excess air.
  • Said inlet and outlet may comprise valve means.
