Autonomous system for blowing ballast from fast dive tank of a submarine and method of blowing ballast

Abstract

An autonomous system for blowing ballast for eliminating negative buoyancy of a submarine and a method of blowing the same. The autonomous system includes air supply balloons arranged in an area of the submarine protected from mechanical damage; trunk pipelines connected to the balloons for supplying gas to FDT of the submarine; shutoff devices for regulating the supply of gas via the trunk pipelines. According to the method realized using the disclosed system, compressed gas is supplied from the compressed air balloon, over the trunk pipelines, and into the FDT of the submarine. The invention provides bringing the negative buoyancy of the submarine to zero to stop the gravitational dive.

1 . An autonomous system for blowing ballast for eliminating negative buoyancy of a submarine, comprising:
 an air supply balloon(s) arranged in an area of the submarine protected from mechanical damage;   a pipeline(s) connected to said balloons for supplying gas to fast dive tank(s) of the submarine;   a shutoff device(s) for regulating the supply of gas via said pipelines.   
     
     
         2 . The system according to  claim 1 , further comprising a monitoring device(s) for controlling gas flow passing through the pipelines. 
     
     
         3 . The system according to  claim 1 , further comprising a shutoff device(s) for stopping gas flow via the pipelines. 
     
     
         4 . The system according to  claim 1 , further comprising a means for remote control of said shutoff devices. 
     
     
         5 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the air supply balloons are arranged in the stern tip of the interhull space of the submarine, behind the Tower. 
     
     
         6 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said compressed gas comprises compressed air. 
     
     
         7 . A method for eliminating negative buoyancy of a submarine using the autonomous system according to  claim 1 , comprising supplying compressed gas from the compressed air balloon via the pipelines into the fast diving tank of the submarine. 
     
     
         8 . The method according to  claim 7 , wherein the compressed air is supplied from a separate source via separate pipelines into the fast diving tank of the submarine.
