  • Patent number: 9666314
    Abstract: A device of repairing a damaged area in an underwater wall region of a container or tank, in particular in the wall region of a tank of a nuclear reactor installation. The device has a guide system that can be mounted along a side wall, at a distance therefrom, and can be secured thereto. At least one first carriage is fitted onto the track of the guide system and movable in a longitudinal direction of the guide system. On the carriage there is displaceably mounted a receptacle for a repair overlay, which can be applied with an adhesive surface to the wall region containing the damaged area. At least one suction mount that is connected to a suction line is disposed on the first carriage and can be suctioned to the side wall.

  • Patent number: 8371025
    Abstract: A device is provided for repairing a damaged location in an underwater region of a wall of a vessel or pool, in particular in the region of a wall of a pool of a nuclear reactor plant. The device includes a guiding system, which can be attached along a side wall at a distance therefrom and can be fixed thereto, for guiding a carriage which can be made to move in a longitudinal direction of the guiding system. Arranged on the carriage is a displaceably mounted holder for a repair support, which can be placed with an adhesive surface against the wall region containing the damaged location. With such a device, wall regions that are at a great depth and can only be accessed through narrow gaps can be repaired quickly and reliably.

  • Patent number: 6308774
    Abstract: A method for the cleaning of heat exchange tubes and a collecting device for the collection of deposits from heat exchange tubes, include releasing deposits and collecting the deposits with a collecting vessel. The collecting vessel has an inlet orifice that completely encloses the underside of a tube plate in which exit-side tube ends are disposed. The collecting vessel has an inflatable hose for sealing off the collecting vessel. The collecting vessel is capable of being folded together, so that it can be introduced through a service orifice into the heat exchanger. The collecting vessel provides simple handling and positioning and serves, in particular, for use in a nuclear plant.
