Abstract
Device for maneuvering and propulsion of a cleaning apparatus for removal of marine fouling from marine installations below surface. The device at least includes an induction part adapted to supply a fluid at high pressure, a nozzle with an inlet for supply of the fluid at high pressure, and a tubular body with an induction side and an outlet where said nozzle is arranged close to the induction side. The device also includes a system for cleaning of marine installations where one or more devices for maneuvering and propulsion are used.
Claims13
Pens and seines underwater cleaning apparatus, the cleaning apparatus comprising:
- a planar board with a group of rotating cleaning units spaced apart from a group of maneuvering and propulsion devices, the board having a front side and a back side;
- wherein each maneuvering and propulsion device of the group is mounted on respective separate apertures in the board and comprises:
- a tubular body mounted on the back side of the board and having a water inlet side covering the aperture in the board, an outlet side protruding from the back side of the board, and a nozzle disposed in a funnel shaped area of the tubular body and positioned downstream of the water inlet side, and wherein the nozzle outlet points in the direction of the outlet of the tubular body, the nozzle outlet pointed in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface of the board, and wherein the nozzle has a high pressure inlet adapted to receive fluid at high pressure and its outlet is adapted to deliver the fluid at high pressure in the direction of the outlet of the tubular body.
Pens and seines underwater cleaning apparatus for removal of marine fouling below the water surface, the cleaning apparatus comprising:
- a planar board having a plurality of openings, the board having a front side and a back side;
- at least one maneuvering and propelling water jet device coupled to the board and configured to cover an opening of the plurality of openings;
- and
- at least one rotary cleaning unit coupled to the board and spaced apart from the at least one maneuvering and propelling water jet device;
- wherein the water jet device comprises:
- a tubular body having an inlet and an outlet and a funnel shaped portion;
- a nozzle device having an inlet and an outlet;
- and
- a high pressure water inlet;
- the nozzle being disposed in the funnel shaped portion of the tubular body, the nozzle inlet being in fluid communication with the high pressure water inlet, and the nozzle outlet is pointed in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface of the board.
