Abstract (en)
The procedure for maintaining the walls of a channel includes projecting a peal-able film on to the walls. After a certain period of use this film is then mechanically removed together with the accumulation of grease, dirt and dust and these particles are blown of the conduit. Both the application of this film, and the subsequent removal are carried out by a remotely controlled robot (1) with a microprocessor programmed to control different elements of the robot. The microprocessor is connected to an external station for control of the robot and inspection of the channel. The robot carries lights, and a video camera system for transmission of video images from the robot back to the remote monitoring station. The rotor comprises a central body with driving wheels mounted on pivoting arms to run against the internal surfaces of the conduit.
