Patent EP-4278066-A1 (EP)
Inventor: YOUNG CHAPMAN III
IPC: E21C37/06
Filed: 2021-01-15
Abstract: Breaking rock and concrete, based upon a Controlled-Foam Injection or PCF (Penetrating Cone Fracture) uses a high-pressure fluid to pressurize a pre-drilled hole. A high pressure seal (18) is formed between the injection barrel (2) and walls of the pre-drilled hole in the material to be broken. A leak-free poppet valve holds a fluid in a pressure vessel before rapid discharge. Variable charges of foam/ water are generated and delivered to the breaker. The injection barrel (2) is prefilled with a low viscosity fluid. An annular reverse acting poppet valve allows concurrent injection of chemical additives and/or micro particles to modify foam viscosity during its high pressure release into the material to be broken. A high pressure foam generator (55) is compact and reliable. Removal and wash-out of the seal frees the injection barrel.
