SUBMARINE PIPELINE TOWING EQUIPMENT, SYSTEM AND PROCESS

摘要

A submarine pipeline towing equipment comprising: ° a floater (G), of a prismatic shape with a horizontal or vertical axis, with a variable or partially variable buoyancy, whose lower base is at least partially open by means of an opening or hole (WP) to operate as an "air chamber", having: ° at least one inlet (AP), made up of a valve, through which air is supplied; ° at least one outlet (RV), made up of a valve, through which air is discharged; ° an actuator to control the valve to supply air; ° an actuator to control the valve to discharge air; °means for connecting said equipment to the pipeline; ° means for transferring air to said floater; °means for actuating the actuator to control the valve (AP) to supply air in function of a predefined level in the floater; ° means for actuating the actuator to control the valve (RV) to discharge air in function of the distance of the floater itself from the seabed.
