Patent EP-0917516-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KIM BOK JOONG
IPC: B63B35/32
Filed: 1998-06-10
Abstract: Cette invention concerne un récupérateur d'huile de type irrigation, ainsi qu'un procédé de récupération d'huile. Le récupérateur comprend une coque inférieure (100) qui est capable de flotter et de s'immerger, et qui va refouler l'eau de mer par une ouverture tout en épaississant la couche d'huile accumulée. Un système de prélèvement d'huile (200) se présentant sous forme d'une roue à eau est monté sur le pont de la coque inférieure (100), et va retirer la couche d'huile de la surface de la mer pour la faire passer dans un réservoir central (110) lorsque ladite coque (100) est immergée. Un flotteur principal (300), qui assure la flottaison du pont, comprend une voie de guidage (310) qui communique partiellement avec le réservoir central (110). Un système de séparation/extraction de l'huile (400) comprend un arbre (411) qui se situe à un niveau plus élevé que l'arbre (211) de la roue à eau du système de prélèvement d'huile (200). Ce système de séparation/extraction va séparer la couche d'huile supérieure du réservoir central (110), puis envoyer l'huile à travers la voie de guidage jusque dans un réservoir de récupération d'huile (600). Cette invention concerne également un procédé de récupération d'huiles comprenant plusieurs étapes. La première étape consiste à faire passer la couche d'huile de surface ainsi que l'eau de mer vers le réservoir central définissant un certain espace. Au cours de la deuxième étape, l'eau de mer va descendre tandis que l'huile va remonter en surface grâce à sa flottabilité et épaissir ainsi la couche d'huile. Au cours de la troisième étape, seule d'huile se trouvant à la surface est envoyée à la roue à eau de manière à mieux séparer encore les huiles de l'eau de mer résiduelle. Lorsque le récupérateur se déplace d'urgence vers un site contaminé par une nappe d'huile, la coque inférieure est soulevée de manière à accroître efficacement la vitesse de mobilisation du récupérateur. Lorsqu'il arrive sur le site, le récupérateur est immergé de manière à pouvoir récupérer la couche d'huile. Ce système permet de faciliter de manière générale le processus de récupération d'huiles. La présence du flotteur principal permet en outre d'effectuer des opérations de récupération d'huile quelles que soient les conditions météorologiques.

Abstract: The starter generator includes a field device arranged on a rotor, including several permanent magnets magnetized in the same manner in terms of polarity and several controllable magnets made of a magnetic material. The controllable magnets are arranged between the permanent magnets. A field coil forms a closed magnetic circuit through the controllable magnets. An effective magnetic flux controller controls the flow of electric current flowing through the field coil to vary the magnetic flux generated from the field coil. Thus the effective magnetic flux exerted between the rotor and the stator is controlled depending on the selected function of the starter generator, either as a motor upon starting the engine and also as a generator after the engine has been started. The effective magnetic flux controller energizes the field coil to increase the effective magnetic flux upon starting the engine and de-energizes the field coil after the engine has been started.
