Description

The invention relates to shipbuilding, mainly to the submarine fleet.

Known submarine (nuclear submarine - nuclear submarine), containing a strong hull, covering its light hull, tanks between these hulls and a rescue chamber docked to the nuclear submarine with the possibility of separation from it (see Pavlov A.S. Warships of Russia 1997-1998 Reference book, Yakutsk, Lithographer, 1997, 151 pp., p. 17, 18, 23, 24; Bukalov V.M., Narusbaev A.A. Design of nuclear submarines. L., Shipbuilding, 1968, p. . 72-83).

The existing dismemberment of the habitat in a robust hull through the use of “durable” inter-compartment bulkheads of a submarine is illusory, preserving the interconnection of compartments through numerous gas and liquid pipelines passing through the bulkheads, ventilation ducts, and cable routes (power, control, communications, etc.), which often leads to the inability to localize damage and fires on board, loss of control of compartments and the spread of damage to neighboring compartments. Such situations inevitably end in disasters, see S. Bukan. In the wake of underwater disasters. - M.: Guild of Masters "Rus", 1992.

These results (ensuring crew safety) are achieved by the fact that in a nuclear submarine containing a robust hull, covering its light hull, tanks between these hulls and a rescue chamber docked to the nuclear submarine, the robust hull is made of separate rigidly interconnected capsules with dividing them into capsules for crew accommodation and capsules with energy and other potentially dangerous installations and systems, the capsules being attached to a common power keel farm, and the rescue chamber made in the form of a self-propelled and guided submarine, in which the main control center of the nuclear submarine is located and which is used to save the entire crew in the event of an atomic submarine accident, while the capsules are interconnected by passage hatches with hermetic closures and through the connecting block and detachable gateway passage to the rescue chamber.

In addition, reactors are installed on a nuclear submarine having branches of the first circuit to thermoelectric generators with natural coolant circulation. In addition, each capsule is equipped with autonomous fire extinguishing and survivability systems, and habitable capsules also have autonomous life support and communication systems.

In addition to improving the safety of the crew in capsules spaced from the capsules with energy and other hazardous installations and systems, a significant functional effect of the proposed nuclear submarine (NPS) is provided by the use of additional thermoelectric generators (TEG) working with standard reactors of the nuclear power plant (NPP) of the nuclear submarine, see the description of patent RU 2151083 C1. This eliminates the need for emergency diesel generators and reduces the backup battery capacity. The power of the TEG is approximately two orders of magnitude lower than that of a standard turbo-generator, and is selected from the conditions for ensuring silent submarine navigation at low speeds (3-7 knots) in an underwater flight with simultaneous economical supply of electricity to the main onboard control systems, life support, survivability and communication of the nuclear submarine including during repairs and / or accidents on board without limitation on the time spent in the underwater position.

The reality of the proposal is confirmed by the currently achieved reliability indicators and the capabilities of remote control of complex technical systems from a remote center with the transfer of active safety, self-regulation and automatic duplication functions to local maintenance-free computer devices that have been successfully used for a long time, for example, in terrestrial nuclear power and manned vehicles space flights, aviation (see, for example, the Minatom Industry Seminar "Modern methods and means of diagnosis Nuclear Power Plant Ostomy Obninsk, 2001, 98 pp., as well as the experience of creating and operating an automated nuclear submarine of project 705 developed by SKB-142, see Ilyin V.E. Submarines of Russia. - M .: Astral, 2002 - 287 p. , pp. 62-71).

The proposed encapsulation and remote control of self-regulating submarine installations from the main control center (GPU) located in the rescue chamber can dramatically reduce the number of submarine crews, leaving only control over the main service posts for specialists. With a three-shift shift, 15 people are obtained on board.

A number of auxiliary functions, such as nutrition, cleaning, medicine, leisure activities, etc., will be provided by a shift shift. The reality of this expansion of functions is confirmed by the practice of long (more than 1 year!) Space manned flights. With a set of experience in swimming in such conditions, we can expect further integration of the functions of crew members and a decrease in their numbers.

Known American nuclear submarine "Triton" (SSRN-586), having a stern end (KO) containing a sturdy hull, propeller shafts with propellers, as well as the main thrust bearings and deadwood in the aft compartment. (Bykhovsky I.A. Nuclear ships. Leningrad, 1961, p. 121-128, 144, tab. 13 / 3rd line from the top).

The disadvantage of this submarine is that its KO is not adapted to accommodate additional equipment for monitoring and protecting the aft hemisphere, both because of the lack of the necessary space for placement and the inability to provide conditions for the operation of detection equipment.

Known nuclear submarine according to the patent of the Russian Federation for the invention No. 2466056, IPC D63G 8/00, publ. November 10, 2012

This submarine contains a strong hull, covering its light hull, tanks between these hulls, aft tip with propellers, with a hub mounted on a propeller shaft, connected to an electric motor, connected in turn through a commutator, with an electric cable with a battery, the shaft of which is connected to the main shaft of the propulsion system, connected by a shaft with an electric generator.

Disadvantages: limited submarine residence time in underwater position due to heat generation from a nuclear reactor and relatively low efficiency of the propulsion system.

The engine modules 1 and 2 are attached to the aircraft carrier module 3 and the hangar module 4 using the gateways 5.

The aircraft carrier module 3 contains a robust housing 6, inside of which there is a take-off deck 7 with a runway 8.

Along the solid body 6, an electromagnetic coil 9 is made. In the front and rear of the aircraft carrier module 3, holes 10 and 11 are made, which can be closed by shutters 12 and 13 when the aircraft carrier is submerged. In front of the aircraft carrier module 3, a springboard 14 is made.

Hangar module 4 has a hull 15 and deck 16. Aircraft 17 are located in hangar module 4. Modules 3 and 4 are connected by an elevator 18, in which an elevator platform 19 is installed for raising and lowering aircraft 17.

The engine modules 2 and 3 comprise a housing 20, with a propeller 21 mounted on a propeller shaft 22 connected to an electric motor 23.

The electric motor 23 is connected by an electric cable 24 to the switch 25, which is installed in the electrical compartment 26 of the engine modules 1 and 2. Battery 27 is connected to the switch 25. An electric generator 28 is connected to the input of the switch 25, connected by a shaft 29 to the propulsion unit 30, which is connected by circulation pipelines 31 and 32 is connected to a nuclear reactor 33 installed in the nuclear compartment 34.
