COMPRESSED AIR Slide No. 3 ENCE 420 ©Assakkaf INTRODUCTION In many instances the energy supplied by compressed air is the most convenient method of operating equipment and tools. When air is compressed, it receives energy from the compressor. This energy is transmitted through a pipe or hose to the operating equipment, where a portion of the energy is converted into mechanical work. 2 CHAPTER 11. COMPRESSED AIR Slide No. 4 ENCE 420 ©Assakkaf INTRODUCTION The operations of compressing, transmitting, and using air will always result in a loss of energy, which will give an overall efficiency less than 100%, sometimes considerably less.

  • Shots, Uses, Deployment and Recovery
    SHOTS AND DECOMPRESSION RIGS – CONSTRUCTION, DEPLOYMENT AND RECOVERY SHOT USE AND CONSTRUCTION A shot offers the simplest and most direct route from the surface to the seabed. In it’s simplest form is consists of a buoy, line and weight. The buoyancy of the buoy should be sufficient to support the weight. The shot line should be of sufficient strength to support the shot weight, long enough to reach the seabed and be sufficiently thick to aid recovery. Once deployed the shot also offers a surface reference point or datum point from which searches may be conducted. A shot line in some form also offers a stable platform for decompression stops. It is possible to use a boat’s anchor as a shot line however this has several drawbacks. Firstly a cover boat should be mobile at all times. The datum line will not be vertical and the line will alter with the movement of the boat. If the site is environmentally sensitive it may be inadvisable to anchor. As a result of the nature of shot construction it can be seen that the shot line must always be significantly longer than the proposed depth. Once the shot is deployed the excess line will form an angle to the seabed in a current or offer potential entanglement in slack water. There are several ways of tensioning a shot line. Top Tensioned Shot This shot will adjust with the rise and fall of the tide and offers a near vertical descent and ascent. However this configuration is not ideal in strong current or wind.
