INSTALLATION FOR OPTIMIZATION OF DEPTH STABILIZATION SYSTEM OF DEEPWATER DRIFTING INSTRUMENT Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: marine equipment, applicable for optimization of underwater instruments. SUBSTANCE: the installation consists of a standard deepwater drifting instrument with a shipborne control, measurement and recording system, for measurement of the quantity of ballast water and drift depth, hermetic state, hydraulic and electric couplings, inclusive. A computer is installed electrically in parallel between the output circuit of ballast water flow recording and the output circuit of depth measurement, a system of motion controls is introduced in the program of this computer. A hermetical reservoir is hydraulically connected to the ballast water inlet and outlet branch pipes and is provided with signal communication with the computer output. EFFECT: reduced number of expensive natural tests at an experimental optimization of complex deepwater instruments and enhanced quality of their preparation at their batch service. 1 dwg
