Abstract
UN VEHICULO PARA REALIZAR AL MENOS UNA OPERACION DENTRO DE UN OLEODUCTO. EL VEHICULO COMPRENDE UN TREN DE MODULOS (11-16) INTERCONECTADOS POR UNIDADES DE SUSPENSION (17) PARA PERMITIR UN MOVIMIENTO SERPENTEANTE A TRAVES DE LOS CODOS DEL OLEODUCTO. EL TREN DEL VEHICULO TIENE SU PROPIA FUENTE DE ALIMENTACION INTERNA Y SU MECANISMO DE TRANSMISION EN LOS MODULOS RESPECTIVOS. UN MODULO DETECTOR (14) DETERMINA LA PRESENCIA DE UNA T DE SERVICIO UTILIZANDO INFORMACION DE CAMPOS MAGNETICOS Y UN MODULO MANIPULATIVO (13) PERMITE ENCAJAR EL VEHICULO TEMPORALMENTE EN EL OLEODUCTO AL TIEMPO QUE PERMITE UN MOVIMIENTO ROTATIVO PARA FACILITAR LA OPERACION DESEADA EN LA T. ESTA OPERACION PUEDE INCLUIR EL TALADRADO Y SOLDADURA DE UNA TUBERIA DE SERVICIO A LA PRINCIPAL UTILIZANDO MODULOS APROPIADOS. PUEDE UTILIZARSE UNA SONDA REMOTA, QUE SUELE CONTENER UN GENERADOR DE CAMPOS MAGNETICOS, COMO AYUDA PARA QUE EL VEHICULO LOCALICE LA T DE SERVICIO.
