Abstract (en)

[origin: US2003119388A1] The invention relates to a method and a device for discharging signature free exhaust gas from underwater vehicles, said exhaust gas being a by-product of the production of electric energy in energy converters and being directed by means of pressure into a pipe length through which outboard water is flowing. The thereby generated gas bubbles are reduced by means of static mixers arranged inside of the pipe length through which water is flowing, with the gas being dissolved by the high turbulence of the fluid. As the exhaust gas is dissolved inside of the underwater vehicle, no gas bubbles that might be located are produced outside the vehicle. Since the working pressure of the method equals the immersion pressure, but little energy is consumed.
