Definitions
- the invention relates to a solution for the delivery and installation of equipment units within the interior of a ship to be installed in shipbuilding. More specifical- ly, the invention relates to a method and module for the installation aboard a ship of pre-assembled equipment units, such as for example air conditioning systems and engine room equipment.
- the construction of a ship comprises typically a multitude of different operations, such as for example manufacturing ship hull segments, assembling a hull from the segments, as well as several different fitting-out operations dependent on the hull assembling schedule all the way to a completion of the ship.
- the number of diverse components to be installed in various fitting-out operations is enormous, which is why, as known in the art, these operations have been facilitated and streamlined by coming up with various types of mod- ular solutions for various facilities and applications.
- Such modules are typically prefabricated and fitted-out separately from the ship hull building process and schedule and are delivered to the shipyard at an appropriate time for the installation aboard a ship.
- One example of typical modules to be installed in a ship are ship cabins.
- Modular solutions have also been used in the installation of miscellaneous structurally heavier objects, such as aggregates, machines, equipment and entities made up thereof aboard a ship, for example in ship fan rooms and engine facilities.
- these structurally heavier projects have resulted in considerable problems from the stand- point of shipbuilding, such as for example a substantial weight of the modular framework, final connections becoming more difficult due to space demanded by the modular framework, maintenance operations becoming more difficult, cramped conditions for the end user, as well as a considerable increase of hot works and installation hours in the process of installing the module in place.
- the benefits provided in these projects by modularization have actually reversed into additional costs, extra weight, and increased space demand with respect to conventional shipbuilding.
- the solution according to the present invention provides a capability of eliminating completely or at least mitigating substantially the above-described mod- ularization problems of prior known heavy aggregate and/or equipment entities.
- the machine, aggregate and/or other type of equipment entity is modularized in such a way that, during the prefabricate of a module, the equipment and machines are attached to the module frame.
- the module frame is a self-supporting structure, including typically horizontal brace members as well as vertical brace members.
- the process of moving, especially lifting a module onto a ship comprises removing the lowest section components of a module frame, i.e. components making up the frame bottom, as well as components connecting the frame bottom in vertical direction with the next section or platform or sections or platforms.
- the lowermost equipment unit of the module has been mounted with a suspension attachment on the highest or next platform of the module frame, whereby, after dismantling the lowest section components of the module frame, the lowermost equipment unit is left hanging from the remaining upper framework of the module.
- the module frame is constructed in such a way that, after installing the module aboard a ship, the vertically extending frame components of the module frame, including possible diagonal braces, can be removed.
- the removable frame components of a module according to the invention are also preferably secured in place on the module frame by means of bolts or screws with flange connections, said flange connections being preferably set in a plane inclined relative to the vertical plane of the module.
- the module frame is preferably constructed in such a way that it extends in a vertical direction to a plurality of ship deck surfaces, the module frame is fitted with machines and equipment included in several different cover structures, and the module structure is formed with lightened horizontal plane structures, which are adapted to settle in flush- ness with ship decks once the module has been installed in place.
- the module structure according to the invention can also be used in the building of machines and equipment for engine rooms extending to multiple ship decks.
- the lightened horizontal flat structures of the module are structurally lighter than a conventional ship deck structure, which enables a further reduction in the module weight.
- a module according to the invention which extends to multiple ship deck surfaces, is fixed in its position preferably in such a way that, during the course of placing a module in its position, the module has its horizontal flat structures set on top of protrusions extending from the ship's structure substantially in flush- ness with decks, and the module has its horizontal flat structures secured to these protrusions.
- Such anchoring of a module facilitates and expedites fixing the module in place, especially when a module is lowered into its allocated position inside a ship.
- the lowermost suspended equipment entity of a module according to the invention is preferably secured to a deck structure constituting the bottom of a space allocated for the module, thus enabling at least a partial removal of frame components used in the suspended attachment of the lowermost equipment entity. More specifically, the characterizing features for a method according to the invention are presented in claim 1 , and the characterizing features of a module according to the invention are presented in claim 7.
- Fig. 1 shows schematically a triple level embodiment of a module according to the invention
- Fig. 2 shows schematically a double level embodiment of a module according to the invention.
- Fig. 1 shows schematically a triple level embodiment for a module 1 according to the invention relating to a fan room unit intended for air conditioning equipment and extending in a vertical direction to three ship decks.
- the module 1 has its framework 2 consisting of three superimposed horizontal flat structures, i.e. a bottom structure 3 and cover structures 4 and 5 for the framework, and upright beams 6 and 7 connecting these horizontal flat structures to each other.
- the process of manufacturing a module 1 according to the invention as shown in Fig. 1 comprises constructing first the bottom structure 3 for the framework 2, on top of which is placed the lowermost air conditioning unit 10.
- This bottom structure 3 for the framework 2 of the module 1 is preferably made up of just a few horizontally extending beams of pipes, which provide necessary supporting points for lifting the lowermost air conditioning unit 10 along with the rest of the module's framework, as well as framework bracing beams 16 extending horizontally around the edges of the bottom structure of the module's framework.
- the cover structure 4 is preferably assembled as a single entity with the lowest vertically extending upright beam 6, as well as with the bracing beams 16 extending in a horizontal plane of the bottom structure 3 and connecting the bottom ends of these upright beams to each other, said integral entity being then lifted on top of and around the lowermost air conditioning unit 10 and the underlying bottom structure 3
- the support structure underneath the lowermost air conditioning unit 10 and in flushness with the bottom structure 3 is connected with the cover structure 4 by means of vertically extending suspension beams 1 1 .
- the middlemost air conditioning unit 9 On top of the cover structure 4 is mounted the middlemost air conditioning unit 9.
- the highest cover structure 5 included in the framework 2 of the module 1 as well as the upright beams 7 fixing the same to the module's framework, are installed in place, which is followed by mounting the uppermost air conditioning unit 8 in its position on the highest cover structure.
- the installations of the air conditioning units 8, 9 and 10 can be finished, as well as the necessary installation of accessories can be finished, as well as the module 1 can be fitted with necessary accessories and components.
- the middle cover structure 4 and the highest cover structure 5 included in the framework 2 of the module 1 of the invention are provided with necessary plat- forms for working on top of these cover structures.
- the cover structures 4 and 5 have their edges provided with protrusions 12 and 13 in the form of horizontally extending beam ends.
- the process of moving a completed prefabricated module 1 onto a ship comprises lifting the module 1 first to a suitable height, such as for example to the height of about 1 ⁇ 4 meter, from lifting lugs 14 of the highest cover platform.
- a suitable height such as for example to the height of about 1 ⁇ 4 meter
- the module has its framework 2 stripped of the lowest upright beams 6, as well as of the bracing beams 16 extending horizontally at the bottom edges of these upright beams. Consequently, the lowermost air conditioning unit of the module 1 is set hanging through the intermediary of the suspension beams 1 1 and the remaining bottom structure 3 from the middle cover structure 4 of the module.
- the module is lifted aboard a ship into a space allocated therefor.
- the protrusions 12 and 13 extending from the edges of the cover structures 4 and 5 of the module's framework 2 are parked on top of protrusions jutting out of the walls of a space allocated for the module, said wall protrusions being substantially flush with the levels of respective ship deck structures.
- the protrusions 12 and 13 of the module's framework 2 are welded to the attachment with the protrusions jutting out of the ship's structure and the upright braces 7 are removed from the module's framework.
- the lowermost air conditioning unit 10 is fixed in place to the ship's deck structure establishing the floor of a space allocated for the module 1 , after which the suspension beams 1 1 are disengaged from the module's framework 2, and the support system left in the bottom structure 3 of the module's framework is removed.
- the module 1 has been successfully set in its place and connections can be made for manifolds of the air conditioning units 8, 9 and 10 with those of the ship.
- the attachments of the upright beams 6, 7 and the suspension beams 1 1 to the framework's horizontally extending cover structures 3, 4 and 5 are preferably established by way of inclined flange connections 15 with bolts. Accordingly, the disengagement of the upright beams 6, 7, horizontal beams 16 and suspension beams 1 1 from the rest of the framework 2 is carried out without problems, even if the upright beams were supporting for example loads resulting from tolerances after the installation of a module. Thus, the need for hot works in the process of disengaging the upright beams 6, 7, horizontal beams 16 and suspension beams 1 1 can be preferably eliminated.
- the cover structures 4 and 5 included in the framework 2 of the module 1 remain as a part of the ship's deck structure.
- the cover structures 4 and 5 of the module 1 can be read- ily and economically provided with a construction which is lighter than the rest of the ship's deck structures.
- Fig. 2 shows schematically a double level embodiment for a module 21 of the invention relating to a fan room unit intended for air conditioning equipment and extending in vertical direction to two ship decks.
- This embodiment visualizes more clearly vertical suspension beams 26, which provide a suspended attachment for an air conditioning unit 25 mounted on top of a floor structure 23 included in a framework 22 of the module 21 and which are separate from vertical upright beams 27 of the module's framework, said upright beams being dismantled from the module's framework at the early stage of moving the module to its destination.
- the modular solution according to the invention is equally appli- cable in the process of installing on board equipment entities other than air conditioning units, such as for example equipment assemblies for elevators and engine rooms.
- the modular solution according to the invention is also modifiable in a multitude of ways obvious for a person skilled in the art, within the scope of protection defined in the appended claims.
