Experience with an Unmanned Vehicle-Based Recovery System

The Naval Ocean Systems Center (NOSC) has been in the forefront of undersea vehicle and manipulator development since the early 1960's. Through extensive at-sea and laboratory test programs, methods have been developed to optimize these remote systems. NOSC's technological background is presented here with particular emphasis on the optimization of undersea manipulator and work systems. Methods of increasing system efficiency while keeping complexity to a minimum are also presented.

Test Result

A new energy recovery system based on scroll expander is presented according to the characteristics of low-grade energy in this paper. It is discussed for the expression of the system efficiency and its influential factors with the method of Exergy Analysis. And the influence curves of relationship between the expander’s inlet pressure and system efficiency are obtained through computer simulation and laboratory experiments. The test result of the comparison of different the recycling system shows that the recycling method based on scroll expander is more efficiently than others in the area of recycling low-grade energy.
