Low Temperature Engineering for Sea Protection
Journal Title: Modern Approaches in Oceanography and Petrochemical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Cryogenics is an applying science which deals with low temperatures. Ed this branch of engineering is of a great importance in the field of sea preservation from different substances, which are not friendly with sea environment. There are at least three brunches, where low temperature engineering brings the greatest help to support sea ecology when oil is digging out on the sea shelf. The first item is a creation of sea oil digging platform on the bases of water ice technology [1-3]. Water is a good and natural friendly substance. When it is frozen down to an ice state, one gets quite a solid and durable material, like concrete, if it is kept at low temperatures. Generation of low temperatures at the sea oil platform is not a hard problem even without electric energy supply. So if a vertical metal tube is filled with water ice it turns into a support column of the sea platform, strong and reliable. The bottom of it is frozen down to the soil shelf with the help refrigeration unit. This method reduces the time of constructing as well as simplifies dismantling works with lowering costs when the period of platform operating is over. The columns supporters do not remain where they are installed, but are transported on the new place and can be used many times.

Sidedness of Divergence as a Key to Understanding Southern Ocean Upwelling in the Overturning Circulation of the Oceans
Sidedness of divergence helps resolve a present discordance in our understanding of upwelling in the Southern Ocean, and thus it contributes to the evolving recognition of the oceans’ overturning circulation. Divergence...
