Definitions
- the present invention relates to those elements that allow the balancing of the forces acting on the walls of an airtight container during its sinking in a liquid, thereby avoiding the stresses produced by them due to the increase in the liquid column applied on the outer face. In turn, it prevents the spilling of the contents towards the surrounding environment through said elements and has the means to balance the forces mentioned during the eventual re-float of said container. All this implies a notable increase in the safety of maritime transport of dangerous goods.
- the present invention involves the creation of a container container and one or several vertical tubes that, crossing its upper cover, communicate with the outside. These are arranged so that its lower opening is located near the bottom of the container, while the upper opening is at the precise height above the aforementioned cover.
- a check valve is installed that only allows the passage from the outside to the inside and is equipped with a mechanism that measures its opening until the whole assembly is at the required depth.
- This valve includes the precise means to also open in a discretionary way.
- Figure 1 represents a section of oil tanker (B) in navigation, being:
- Figure 2 represents the same vessel (B) in the initial phase of its sinking, without having reached the automatic opening depth of the valve (V).
- Figure 3 represents the same vessel (B) during its sinking, with the valve (V) open and seawater flooding the container (C).
- an oil tanker (B) that navigates over the sea surface (S) and has an airtight container (C) for transporting the fuel. It is loaded with it.
- said container (C) has a tube (T) installed that crosses its upper cover communicating with the outside and which is provided, on its upper opening, with a check valve (V), which allows only the circulation in the direction from the outside in; it opens when the pressure exerted by the environment on its upper face exceeds a certain value;
- the valve (V) is capable of being forced to open voluntarily.
- the ship begins to sink, whereby the pressure exerted on it by the column of water that covers it increases as it submerges, while inside the pressure remains constant, creating the effect of gas chamber, a difference between the forces applied on the inner and outer face of its lining.
- valve ( V) opens, allowing marine water to pass through the tube (T) into the container (C), which gradually floods it, reducing the gas space and increasing the internal pressure until reaching the valve closing value (V ) cited above. In this way the difference between the forces applied on both sides of the lining never becomes sufficient to break it, however deep the sinking.
- the opening value of the valve (V) is due to the need to ensure the circulatory direction of the liquid which, due to the difference in pressure between the internal and external environments, will always be adequate. In addition it also prevents the accidental entry of seawater or other substances into the container (C) caused by other factors that occur during daily surface use. In the case of the re-float of the sunken ship, the possibility of voluntarily forcing the opening of the valve (V), allows the evacuation of the excess fluid lodged in the container (C) due to the expansion of the gas chamber to as the ambient pressure decreases during re-float, avoiding the effects
