Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for activating a watercraft, in particular a submarine.
- Activation of a craft, particularly a military craft, and more particularly, the activation of a submarine involves a large number of operations, often in complex dependence on one another. This is due, for example, to the fact that many systems require electrical power but at the same time also use compressed air or hydraulics to carry out operations. Therefore, many crews have developed very different procedures, which are very different. This creates the risk of incorrect operation. Furthermore, a temporally optimal sequence is not guaranteed.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method which enables a safe and rapid activation of a watercraft while avoiding incorrect operation.
- the inventive method for activating a vessel, in particular a military vessel, especially a submarine comprises the following method steps:
- compressed air and electrical energy are provided.
- the compressed air for example, from compressed air cylinders or a compressed air reservoir to be provided.
- the provision by compression is preferably made only after activation of other systems.
- the hydraulic system is activated. This is needed because in many subsequent steps components, such as flaps and valves, are moved hydraulically. It is therefore necessary to activate the hydraulic system before carrying out the subsequent steps.
- the hydraulic system preferably has an electrically operated compressor.
- method step c) at least a first cooling water inlet is opened.
- Many systems generate heat that must be dissipated in a timely manner. For example, a battery releases heat during discharge. Therefore, in method step d), the at least one first energy storage device is cooled.
- step e at least a first inverter is started up.
- the provision of electrical energy takes place in at least one first energy storage device in the form of direct current.
- many systems rely on alternating current.
- different systems often require different voltages, so possibly different electrical systems with different voltages must be provided, but not all electrical systems must be immediately available.
- the first voltage is 115V at 60Hz.
- the energy storage device provides a DC voltage of 900V.
- the navigation distribution system comprises at least one device for detecting the position, at least one device for detecting a change in position and at least one device for detecting the environment.
- the device for detecting the position may be a GPS device, a depth measuring system or a compass.
- the device for detecting a change in position may be a speed measuring system.
- the device for detecting the environment may be a sonar, a radar or a navigation sonar.
- the navigation distribution system has a system clock, particularly preferably a system clock with high accuracy.
- the ship's control station is also activated.
- This is another important integrated system aboard a watercraft and is necessary for the monitoring and control of the most important systems. Therefore, early activation of the ship's control console is advantageous.
- the ship's control center controls and monitors in particular the drive, power generation and auxiliary systems.
- the auxiliary systems include, for example, hydraulic system, compressed air system, air conditioning, fire alarm and possibly fire extinguishing systems.
- a monitoring system and the ship reporting system are also activated.
- the monitoring system serves to ensure the safety of the crew by recording the necessary parameters. In the event of danger, this danger is reported to the crew via the ship reporting system so that it can take countermeasures or, in extreme cases, evacuate the vessel.
- the monitoring system preferably has a fire alarm system.
- the activation of the navigation distribution system, the ship-technical control station, the monitoring system and the ship reporting system is preferably but not necessarily in this order.
- the activation can also be simultaneous or overlapping.
- At least one first ventilation system is activated.
- the ventilation system is used to supply fresh air, both for the crew and possibly for the operation of a future to be taken into operation combustion engine. Due to the often completed construction of a watercraft, in particular a military vessel and especially an underwater boat active ventilation to maintain the necessary breathing conditions is required. Although the breathing air can also be done via an internal supply, which is available for example on a submarine for diving trips. However, this resource is preferably spared until it is needed during the dipping process.
- At least one second inverter for supplying electrical energy in at least one second vehicle electrical system is additionally started up with a second voltage in method step b).
- the first voltage is 115 V at 60 Hz, the second voltage 220 V DC.
- at least one third inverter is additionally started up in step at step b) to provide electrical energy in at least one third electrical system with a third voltage.
- the first voltage is 115 V at 60 Hz, the second voltage 220 V DC and the third voltage 115 V at 400 Hz.
- the activation of at least one first air conditioning system also takes place in method step g).
- the air conditioner is advantageous because it also comes due to the already mentioned construction otherwise there is a strong warming, which is unfavorable for the crew.
- the thermal signature would become larger due to the increased temperature, which is absolutely to be avoided in military vessels.
- electrical energy is provided via a shore connection in method step b) and the shore connection is disconnected after method step b).
- the at least one first energy storage device can be charged via the shore connection.
- the shore connection can also provide additional media, such as compressed air and / or fresh water.
- activating a monitoring system includes activating a fire alarm system and a system for monitoring the on-board atmosphere.
- the on-board atmosphere is extremely important for several reasons. On the one hand, consumption can lead to an oxygen deficiency. However, other gases are also important. For example, most watercraft have an internal combustion engine, so that combustion gases, in particular carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, are also relevant. Furthermore, when lead-acid batteries are used, hydrogen can be produced as at least one first energy storage device. Likewise, a watercraft may include a hydrogen powered fuel cell for power generation. In these cases, the monitoring of hydrogen in the on-board atmosphere is necessary. As another parameter, the pressure can be monitored.
- the fire alarm system can, for example Have smoke detectors, in particular optically operating smoke detectors. Additionally or alternatively, the fire alarm system may include thermocouples.
- the monitoring system can also have a fire extinguishing system.
- a compressor for generating compressed air is activated in method step i).
- a battery is selected as the energy storage device.
- a lead-acid battery lead-sulfuric acid
- a lead-gel accumulator or a lithium-ion accumulator.
- a lithium polymer accumulator is selected as a lithium-ion accumulator as an energy storage device.
- the method steps c) to h) proceed fully automatically.
- the precise selection of the sequence of process steps makes automation possible in the first place.
