Un ballast 24a ou 24b est avantageusement disposé de chaque côté des éléments 21a, 22a, 23 a et 21b, 22b, 23b, montés de préférence et respectivement en alignement.A ballast 24a or 24b is advantageously disposed on each side of the elements 21a, 22a, 23a and 21b, 22b, 23b, preferably mounted and aligned respectively.
Un poste de commande et de contrôle peut être disposé à proximité d'un moteur à hydrogène 21a ou 21b.A control and control station may be disposed near a hydrogen engine 21a or 21b.
Une turbine 30a ou 30b d'aspiration et d'éjection assure la fonction de propulsion et de direction par jets d'eau. A cet effet, chaque turbine 24a ou 24b est reliée par une ou plusieurs conduites 25 à un groupe d'aspirateurs-extracteurs 26a, 27a, 28a, 29a ou 26b, 27b, 28b, 29b.A turbine 30a or 30b suction and ejection provides the function of propulsion and direction by jets of water. For this purpose, each turbine 24a or 24b is connected by one or more conduits 25 to a group of extractor-extractors 26a, 27a, 28a, 29a or 26b, 27b, 28b, 29b.
Les aspirateurs-extracteurs 26a, 26b et 29a, 29b assurent principalement la propulsion en marche avant ou arrière. Les aspirateurs-extracteurs 27a, 27b et 28a, 28b assurent la direction et la remontée de l'embarcation selon l'invention.The extractor extractors 26a, 26b and 29a, 29b mainly provide propulsion in forward or reverse. The extractor extractors 27a, 27b and 28a, 28b provide the steering and the ascent of the boat according to the invention.
De préférence, les turbines 30a ou 30b sont reliées aux ballasts 24a et 24b pour assurer l'immersion ou l'ascension de l'embarcation selon l'invention.Preferably, the turbines 30a or 30b are connected to the ballasts 24a and 24b to ensure the immersion or ascent of the boat according to the invention.
Les turbines 30a ou 30b sont reliées, au moins au niveau de leurs sorties à l'échappement de chaque moteur à hydrogène 21a ou 21b, de manière à évacuer et à diluer l'eau produite à l'échappement des moteurs à hydrogène 21a et 21b.The turbines 30a or 30b are connected, at least at their exits to the exhaust of each hydrogen engine 21a or 21b, so as to evacuate and dilute the water produced at the exhaust of the hydrogen engines 21a and 21b .
Les turbines 30a ou 30b peuvent également avantageusement être reliées aux systèmes de régénération de l'embarcation selon l'invention lors du fonctionnement en éjection, de manière à extraire et à diluer les déchets liquides ou les gaz viciés hors de l'embarcation selon l'invention.The turbines 30a or 30b can also advantageously be connected to the regeneration systems of the boat according to the invention during operation in ejection, so as to extract and dilute the liquid waste or the stale gases out of the boat according to the invention. invention.
Ainsi, selon l'invention, les moyens techniques de propulsion et de ballast sont doublés de manière à permettre un fonctionnement satisfaisant, même en cas de défaillance d'un élément de l'alignement bâbord ou de l'alignement tribord. Dans ce cas, l'élément restant en état de fonctionnement assure la fonction de l'élément défaillant en alimentation et/ou en énergie. Egalement, en cas de défaillance d'une turbine 30a ou 30b, la turbine restante 30b ou 30a est mise en communication avec l'ensemble des aspirateurs-extracteurs et des ballasts par un branchement approprié. Le doublement des moyens techniques permet ainsi, en cas de défaillance, le fonctionnement de l'embarcation selon l'invention, éventuellement à vitesse réduite, ou à débit réduit, ou selon un mode dégradé de fonctionnement.Thus, according to the invention, the technical means of propulsion and ballast are doubled so as to allow satisfactory operation, even in the event of failure of an element of the port or starboard alignment. In this case, the element remaining in operating state ensures the function of the faulty element in power and / or energy. Also, in the event of failure of a turbine 30a or 30b, the remaining turbine 30b or 30a is put in communication with all the extractor-extractors and ballasts by a suitable connection. The doubling of the technical means thus allows, in case of failure, the operation of the boat according to the invention, possibly at a reduced speed, or reduced flow, or in a degraded mode of operation.
Ainsi, grâce à l'invention, une intervention subaquatique rapide devient possible sans respecter des paliers de décompression, tout en permettant un stationnement de longue durée en profondeur, grâce à la coopération des moyens de propulsion par aspiration et éjection avec les moyens d'échappement et/ou de régénération de l'embarcation selon l'invention.Thus, thanks to the invention, rapid underwater intervention becomes possible without respecting decompression stops, while allowing long-term deep parking, thanks to the cooperation of the propulsion means by suction and ejection with the exhaust means and / or regeneration of the boat according to the invention.
L'invention décrite en référence à plusieurs modes de réalisations n'y est nullement limitée, mais couvre au contraire toute modification de forme et toute variante de réalisation dans le cadre et l'esprit de l'invention. The invention described with reference to several embodiments is not limited thereto, but on the contrary covers any modification of form and any variant embodiment within the scope and spirit of the invention.
