Definitions
- Hydrostatic system for the extraction of hydrocarbons and oils contained in the tanks of a sunken ship.
- the present invention relates to those elements that allow the controlled and safe extraction of hydrocarbons and oils contained in the tanks of a sunken ship taking advantage of their lower density with respect to the water that surrounds them and, therefore, their tendency to float , which implies an increase in efficiency and safety when performing this task.
- the previous investigation did not determine the existence of any mechanism equal to that proposed in the present invention.
- the present invention involves the creation of a bell, either rigid or flexible, with sufficient weight to sink into seawater and that is capable of containing enough fuel or oil to make the whole formed by container and content mentioned Have positive buoyancy. By transferring the cover such a bell and in its highest part a valve is installed, called a transfer, operable at will and through which the contents of the said bell can be completely emptied.
- the necessary means are available to move along a guide wire that is installed by joining the sunken ship with a buoy that floats on the surface and whose submarine end is firmly anchored near a valve, called a discharge and previously arranged on the sunken ship in communication with the tank to be emptied, which is operated for opening or closing by applying or removing the appropriate weight on a cam, arranged in the valve for this purpose; Since the surface end of the guide wire is attached to the aforementioned buoy, it has enough tension to be arranged vertically on the discharge valve.
- Figure 1 represents a section of sunken oil tanker (B), which rests on a seabed and to which an extractor system has been installed, being: C - Bell. G.- Guide wire. V1.- Transfer valve. V2.- Discharge valve. Carries. F.- Float. S.- Marine surface
- Figure 2 represents the whole while the bell (C) descends.
- Figure 3 describes the opening of the valve V2 Due to the weight of the bell (C) applied on the cam (L) thereof and the upward flow of oil that tends to fill the bell (C).
- Figure 4 shows the same configuration with the bell (C) rising.
- Figure 5 represents the bell (C), connected through the transfer valve (V1) to another tanker (P) that transfers the oil extracted from the bottom to its holds.
- the bell (C) is dropped freely along the guide wire (G); when it arrives at the ship at the bottom, it is properly located on the discharge valve (V2) and by its own weight it opens acting on the cam (L) so that the contents of the tank flows through it and accumulates floating against in bell sky.
- the float (F) stops its ascent to the precise depth so that the transfer valve (V1) emerges and can be connected to the same precise means to communicate with the container in which the extracted material must be evacuated definitely aboard the ship (P).
