Abstract: The procedure includes the following steps: horizontally positioned internal conduit (1) is being inserted into the jacket pipe (5); the ends connected to the external guide (7) are being held by the tools (10 and 11); the assembly is then being lifted into vertical position; through the external guide (7) and the internal guide (8) on the tower (17) with the lifted assembly connected to them by locks (3 and 4), it is possible to obtain axial overlapping of the conduit (1) and the jacket pipe (5); the required centricity of the conduit (1) and the jacket pipe (5) section is accomplished through the lower (10) and the upper (11) holding and lifting tools. At this point, through the upper tool (11), the mixer (26) is put into the thermoinsulating space (18) as deep as 0.5 m of the lower tool (10) height; the calculated quantity of the insulation (19) is then being injected, with the simultaneous lifting the mixer (26) up to the moment when it is taken out; the upper tool (11) is then closed by the cover (29).

Description: THERMO; INSULATED PIPE MANUFACTURING DEVICE AND PROCEDURE Technological Applications of the Invention The invention includes the procedure and the device for the manufacture of thermally insulated pipes intended for all technologies which require reduced, i.e., controlled exchange of heat with the surroundings in order to prevent inadequate change of state of the fluid passing through the pipe. The corresponding International Patent Classification (IPC) label is: Technological Problem This invention will solve the problem of the foamed polyurethane manufacturing of preinsulated pipes, regardless of the conduits and jacket pipes diameters, lengths or materials. The production is carried out by means of polyurethane injecting, in state of rest. Furthermore, the procedure enables additional installations to be built into the insulating jacket, in any required position, in accordance with different technological requirements. The device and procedure exclude any possibility of occurrence of air bubbles within the insulation, or unequal expanded polyurethane density. The polyurethane foam slipping along the conduit and jacket pipe walls is avoided, because the expansion is taking place in vertical position and on the upper free surface. The invention will also solve the problem of the conduit and jacket pipe coaxiality, reducing deviation to the jacket pipe and conduit axis deviation level. The procedure enables the on the spot production, because it does not require any particular constructions. Furthermore, the device is portable, and any negative effects of the surroundings can be easily prevented and eliminated. State of Technology This kind of product is commonly called the "preinstalled pipe" and it is usually related to the sphere of remote controlled heating in urban areas. The current procedures used in the production of preinstalled pipes include use distance rings while injecting polyurethane from one or both ends, under high pressures (up to 100 bars). The pipes are either inclined (about 30 degrees) or, in some cases, they are rolled along the elastically supported table so that better conduitsand jacket pipes centricity could be obtained. For this reason the distance rings have to be used, along with special elastically supported tables and devices for pipes rolling and polyurethane foam injecting under high pressure. When the substance is injected into the inclined pipes, considerable eccentricity of the conduit and jacket pipe occurs, creating problems in building-in procedure and waterproof layers construction. At the same time, the polyurethane expansion conditions are becoming less favorable this way. All of these ways of production require costly and large equipment ( lifting appliances, elastically supported tables, rolling devices, etc.) due to the large weight of the preinsulated pipes. The pipes (1- 12 m long) with the conduit diameter of 500 mm weigh about 1000 kg each, and even 3500kg in case of conduits with diameter of 1000 mm. Additional installation building into the insulated layer is very difficult. It requires the use of specially-shaped distance rings adjusted to any kind of insulation while the possibility of fault in polyurethane injecting cannot be eliminated. This cannot be accomplished when conduit is not made of steel or the like material, since softer materials keep the conduit from retaining its desired shape. Main Purpose of the Invention The thermoinsulated pipe manufacturing procedure and device enable the internal - conduit insertion with all its installations ( if being built in) by means of roller supports, while the necessary centering is being accomplished by means of the lower and upper tools for the pipes closing and supporting. Lifting this assembly block into the vertical position, using the external guide, and its suitable positioning according to the internal guide enables the polyurethane foam to be poured in. Installations which are being built into the jacket insulation, are supported and held by the upper and lower tools. Through the upper tool, the injection syrange is put into the inter-space for the thermal insulation as deep as 0.5 m of the lower tool height. Considering the injected polyurethane amount and its reaction speed, the steady lifting of the syrange is continued until its removal from the inter- space after the calculated amount has been injected. Then the upper tool holes are being closed by plates, and the obvious excess of polyurethane is escaping through a shorter transparent elastic pipe, by expansion and under pressure. The transparent pipe diameter and length determine the polyurethane leakage resistance, as well as the pressure under which the insulating layer expansion is being completed. In some extreme cases, side guides can be used for jacket and conduit axes centering. If the conduit is not made of metal (it has no needed strength), the same external guide's needed position is being maintained by adjusting the upper tool in order to center and support it at the same time, while the axle direction is being ensured by a weight, through the lower tool. The main advantage of this invention is that it does not require costly equipment or sets any limitations to the conduit diameters or lengths. Quite on the contrary, it enables the production of preinsulated pipes of great variety of materials - depending on the building-in site and conditions.

The Invention Detailed Description The figures show the procedure and devices used in the production of the thermally insulated pipes (2) with or without the additional installations (32) in the insulating layer (19). Figure 1 shows the device enabling the production of the thermally insulated pipes (2). The pipes view, with the basic dimensions, is shown in Fig.2. In order to secure the said procedure of manufacturing the pipe (Fig.2.), it is necessary to put the conduit (1) and jacket pipe (5) into the positions as given in Fig.3, with the presented guides (7 and 8) determining the position of the jacket pipe (5).To obtain the vertical position of the conduit(l) and the jacket pipe (5) assembly, the lower stand (12) and the tower (17) are used (Figures 4 and 5). Due to the great variety of the conduit (1) diameters (from 20 to 2000 mm), which is not limited in the procedure, it is recommended to use the adjustable holder (12) from the upper stand (13). By moving the holder (12) along the vertical, and the stand (13) along the horizontal lines, they are being adjusted to the diameter of the jacket pipe (5). For the diameter range from 20 mm to 2000 mm, it is enough to have 3 to 4 tools, though it is sometimes possible to use one tool only. H and B dimensions (Fig.ό.and 7.) are directly proportional to the jacket pipe (5) diameter. To obtain the guide (7) position as given in Fig.3, and the centricity of the conduit (1) with the jacket pipe (5), the lower tool (10) is used with the external guide support (9) as shown in Fig.8. Fig.9 shows the implementation of the axial centricity of the conduit (1) and the jacket pipe (5) by means of the lower tool (10) from Fig. 8. Axial centricity of the conduit (1) and the jacket pipe (5) on the upper end given in Fig.l., is accomplished by means of the upper tool (1 1) as shown in Figures 10 and 1 1. Together with the upper tool (11), the same figures show the locks of the external guide (3) and the internal guide (4). Figures 12 and 13 show the view and position of the external guide support (9), while the external guide (7) fixed to the boom (6) is shown in Fig. 15. The same figure shows the position of the boom lower support (21) and the boom upper support (22). Depending on the thermo- insulated pipe diameters and lengths (2), either boom (6) of the flat grid construction is used (Fig.14; section B-B from fig.15) or the boom (6) with the space grid given in Fig.19 as section B-B from fig.15. Leaning the boom (6), across the lower boom support (21), in the external guide support (9) and by putting the boom (6) into the position as presented in Figure 20, towards the upper tool (11), joining is accomplished by the external guide wedge (23) through the upper support (22). In this way, the jacket pipe (5) tangibility and the axial centricity with the external guide (7) are being secured. The position and the view of the lower boom support (21) is given in Fig.12 and 13, while the upper boom support (22) is presented in Fig. 17 and 18. After having all these elements placed in their proper positions and the assembly put into the vertical position as described in Fig.l, the internal guide (8), fixed to the tower (17), is being centered through the tower support (25) and the guide wedge (24). The internal guide (8) placing into the tangibility position of the jacket pipe (5) is preceded by putting the holder (12) into the position which makes it possible for the external guide generator (8) along which it touches the external pipe jacket (5), to be also tangent to the internal part of the tool (10), as described on Fig 9. In this way, the conduit (1) and the jacket pipe (5) centricity and coaxiality requirements are satisfied (Fig.3.). This completes the procedure of setting the conduit (1) and the jacket pipe (5) assembly (as presented in Fig.l). Fig.22 shows the way of injecting the insulation - polyurethane (19) into the insulating space (18) by means of the mixer (26). The mixer is first lowered to the lower tool height of 0.5m (h=0.5m), and then the insulation - polyurethane (19) injection process is started by switching on the polyurethane pump (28). Together with the injected polyurethane amount, the mixer (26) is lifted too, so that the given height (h) is kept approximately above the expanding surface of the insulating material - polyurethane (19), up to the point when the total calculated amount is injected into the insulation space (18), after which the mixer (26) is taken out. The opening in the upper tool (11) is closed by the cover (29) which is being fixed by the figure (30) ( Figures 26, 27, 29 and 31). The excess of the insulating material - polyurethane (19) escapes through the opening in the cover (29) into which a short transparent pipe is previously inserted with the purpose of increasing the pressure, by increasing the flow resistance, in the top layer of the expanded insulating material - polyurethane (19) according to the manufacturer's recommendations - up to one bar. This is the end of the insulation procedure. The result is the thermally insulated pipe (2), which was the task to be accomplished by the above described procedure. The mixer (26) used in the procedure has the width (b) 2-5mm which is smaller than the insulating layer (19) thickness. Its cross-section view is shown in Fig.5, view from above in Fig.23, and its partial section in Fig.24. In order to reestablish the horizontal position of the vertically positioned assembly of the thermo insulated pipe (2) with the tools presented in Fig.l, it is being separated from the tower (17) by transferring the guide wedge (24) from the position (Fig.30 ) to the position from Fig.28. The horizontal position is secured by means of the electric winch (15) through the rope (14). The further take-down procedure is identical to the reverse procedure of the tools and the assembly setting during the production process. The presence or the absence of the additional installations (32) and elastic installations (36) does not affect the procedure of inserting the conduit (1) into the jacket pipe (5). If additional heating or cooling of the fluid in the transparent pipe (1) is needed, additional installations (32) are set up on the external side of the pipe (Fig. 34.). These are usually rigid installations and they are fixed directly to the conduit (1), with or without holders. In case of elastic additional installations (36), installed into the insulation space (18) under the condition of taking the particular position between the conduit (1) and the jacket pipe (5), the holes are made in the lower (10) and the upper (1 1) tools through which the elastic installation (36) carried, being fixed by the holder (31) as described in Figures 33 and 35. The conduit (1) with the additional installations (32) or elastic installations (36), or without them, is being placed on the cart (34) as described in Fig.36. The height HI is 2-5mm lower than the double thickness of the insulating layer (19), Fig.36. The way of connecting the conduit (1) to the cart (34) is presented in Figures 36 and 37, and it is accomplished through the limiter (33) and the screw (35). When the conduit (1) is placed (by its ends) on the cart (34), it is put into the position presented in Figure 38, and, through the cart leader (37) inserted into the jacket pipe (5).The cart leader (37) shape is given in Figures 41 and 42, its position is presented by Fig.39, and the base view is shown in Fig.40. The shape of the base where the previous operation is carried out is also presented in Fig.43, along with the procedure through which the conduit (1) and the jacket pipe (5) are prepared to be set up for the upper (11) or lower (10) tools. It is accomplished by erecting the hydraulic platform (38) across the support (39) up to the height H as given in Fig. 43. At this point, the conduit (1) is held by the cart ends (40), on which the lower tool (10) and the upper tool (11) are placed, respectively. This is shown in Fig. 44. When the conduits (1) and jacket (5) pipes are strong enough , the procedure is being continued as in Fig. 53. (view from above, presenting the acceptance of the conduits (1) and jacket (5) pipes assembly), by means of the lower (10) and upper (1) tools with two revolving pillar cranes (52); it is then transferred into the position towards the holder (12) when the external guide (7) with the boom (6) is placed into the lower (10) and upper (11) tools; now, all the elements together enter the holder (12), while the upper tool (11) is being held ; by means of the rope (14), the assembly is being separated from the revolving pillar cranes (52) and lifted into the vertical position (Fig.1 ) by means of the electric winch (15). When the conduits (1) and jacket (5) pipes are not strong enough to stand vertically inside the lower tool (10), the lower tool (Fig.8) and the upper tool (Fig.10), the external guide support (9, Fig.12), the holder (12,Fig.6) and the external guide lock (3,Fig.l0) are being exchanged in order to eliminate the problem related to the construction strength, as described below. The holder (12) is replaced by the hydraulic lower tool support (51) as in Figures 51 and 52, while the screwed pipe clip (41) (as described in Fig.46) is used to fit the lower tool of the elastic conduit (43), lower tool of the elastic jacket pipe (42) as well as the upper tool of the elastic conduit (47) and the upper tool of the elastic jacket pipe (48). Fig. 45 shows the conduit lower tool (43) and the elastic jacket pipe lower tool (42); Fig. 47 shows the elastic lower tool of the elastic jacket pipe (42), and Fig. 48 shows the lower tool of the elastic conduit (43). Fig. 50 shows the correlated positions of the elastic conduit (44), elastic jacket pipe (45) with the upper tool of the elastic conduit (47) and the upper tool of the elastic jacket pipe (43); here, the screwed pipe clip (41) is used to fix tight the elements; on the boom (6) with the external guide (7), the lower boom support (21) is being changed, according to Fig. 47 and the position 46, to enable the rigid connection with two circular tapered wedges; the upper boom support (22) is replaced by the upper boom support of the elastic pipes (49), Fig. 50. The support is now used to make the tight connection with the upper tool of the elastic jacket pipe (48), by means of two circular tapered wedges through the holes. In the procedure for lifting the assembly, the external guide (7), through the boom (6), is maintaining the tight connection between the lower tool of the elastic jacket pipe (42) and the upper tool of the elastic jacket pipe (48) up to the point when the vertical position is obtained thus enabling the same degree of centricity as in the strong conduits (1) and the jacket pipes (2), i.e., through the support on the tower (25). Now, the whole assembly is being supported by the tower support (25), because lowering the hydraulic support of the lower tool (51) of the elastic jacket pipe (42), due to the gravity and the weight of the lower tools, enables, by tightening, the alignment of the elastic jacket pipe (45) and the elastic conduit (44); the required strength of the elastic conduit (44) is obtained by blowing the air into it through the hole in the lower tool of the elastic conduit (44). In this way, the preparation is complete for injecting the insulation material -polyurethane (19). The above decribed procedure and devices are easy to move, so they enable production on the locations which are most convenient for building-in and production. In order to enable the procedure implementation even under bad weather conditions, for only for people and raw materials have shelters from bad weather, it is possible to install a heating or a cooling device located under the lower tool (10) through the conduit (1) in order to create necessary conditions by heating or cooling, respectively. This invention enables permanent chain production of the thermally insulated pipes by placing two or more sets of the above named tools next to the tower (17). In this way, by convenient placing of the raw material warehouses, and by using the conveyers and the corresponding lifting mechanisms, the production procedure is being carried out, directed normally to the tower (17) up to the point of the polyurethane pouring in, after which it proceeds laterally towards the warehouse or the site where it is further transported from. Naturally, the invention is not only limited to the use of polyurethane as a thermoinsulating material. Modifications are possible, and other equivalent technological materials can be used, as well as equivalent technical devices, without leaving the patent protection domain. The invention can be applied in the production of thermally insulated pipelines for urban heating from the heating plants, for magistral and secondary distribution lines, as well as for the oil pipelines, regardless of the fact whether it is or not necessary to heat the oil in the pipeline.
