Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a semi-submersible ship, in particular to an auxiliary system and method for submerging a ballast water tank of a semi-submersible ship with an air compressor, and belongs to the technical field of ballast water tanks of a semi-submersible ship. Background technique
[0002] Semi-submersible ships often use air compressors to fill and drain ballast tanks due to the need to achieve rapid surfacing and diving functions.
[0003] The schematic diagram of the compressed air discharge and ballast system of a semi-submersible ship that uses an air compressor to fill and drain the ballast tank is shown in the figure below. figure 1 shown. Taking ballast tank 1 as an example, when the ship floats, open the sea valve QD01 and ballast valve QD02 of ballast tank 1, and the air compressor injects compressed air into ballast tank 1. Since the air pressure at the outlet of the air compressor is greater than The pressure of the seawater at ...
