This book was released on 1967 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The results of a fifteen man-month conceptual design study for a Manned Underwater Station are presented, conforming to the requirement of a 30-day mission for 5 men at 6000 feet. The station is self-supporting when emplaced by using an isotope heat source with turbo-electric power generation, and a life support system to provide comfortable one-atmosphere environment. The pressure hull is toroidal in shape, forty feet in overall diameter with a 10-foot tube diameter. HY-140 steel is recommended for construction of the internally ring-stiffened hull. The concept provides a stable platform with maximum viewing of the bottom in the limited visibility in the deep ocean. For bottom locations with sufficient bearing strength, the hemispherical foundation and toroidal hull act as a ball-and socket joint with unique leveling capability. Where extremely low bearing strength materials are encountered, modifications are made to distribute the load on the bottom. Additional toroidal modules, mating in a vertical stack, permit expanding the station for larger operational missions. Emergency power and life support provisions are included for a 5-day period beyond the 30-day mission requirement. However, with the recommended power system and the electro-mechanical life support equipment there is no reason why the mission time cannot be extended to 90 days when personnel interchange is undertaken. Crews may be exchanged by using small submersibles which have a mating capability with bottomed submarines. (Author).

Book excerpt: A concept for a Manned Underwater Station capable of descending to a depth of 6,000 feet is described. The Station is attached to an anchor resting on the bottom of the ocean and is winched to the desired depth. Living and working space for a five-man crew is provided in the Station. (Author).

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The support of subsea oil and gas production operations involves the use of many underwater work systems. Divers can be used for support tasks in water depths to 300 m, but at more extreme depths operations become restrictively expensive and the efficiency of task performance is reduced. Remote controlled unmanned vehicles can replace the diver to a limited extent, performing inspection and maintenance tasks and supporting drilling opera tions. Operations in deepwaters performed by remote controlled vehicles and one man submersible vehicles, such as JIM and WASP, are more cost effective than the use of divers. The areas of operation of the more complex multi-manned submersibles and bells are today generally restricted to their use for diver lock-out operations, manned intervention to subsea enclosures and the deployment of other underwater work systems. Oil and gas exploration activity is being undertaken in progres sively deeper waters. In the North Sea, Shell have discovered a large gas accumulation off the Norwegian coast in 323 m water depth and B. P. have made oil finds West of the Shetlands in 500 m and West of Eire in 450 m. Exploration drilling is today being carried out in many areas of the world in water depths greater than 1000 m, i. e. Western Mediterranean, Offshore Argentina, Offshore Western Australia and in the Niger Basin, West Africa. The existing discoveries of Shell and B. P.

Download or read book Conceptual Study of a Manned Underwater Station written by Lawrence Kurt and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report covers the conceptual development of a Manned Underwater Station, capable of operating in depths down to 6000 feet, providing adequate life support facilities for 5 men for periods of up to 30 days. The placement of the station uses the concept of free descent without the use of power by using negative buoyancy as the motivating force. Bottom approach is accomplished by winching against an anchor weight which initially provided a portion of the negative buoyancy. The station itself is designed to be positively buoyant at all times. Ascent is accomplished by release of anchor weight and using the positive buoyancy of the station to freely ascend. The report further studies power plants suitable for the station load of 22 KWe and recommends three types of sources, one surface oriented, the remaining in situ that could be applied to the station. The report also outlines potential missions that could be applied to the station. (Author).

Book excerpt: This report describes the development of a manned underwater station concept capable of supporting 5 men for 30 days at depths up to 6000 feet in a one atmosphere shirt sleeve environment. Functional requirements for the various subsystems and the overall configuration are established. The rationale for selection of particular systems is presented and the integration of these systems into the station is carried out. (Author).
