Abstract

1,092,133. Cleaning tanks. ESSO RESEARCH & ENGINEERING CO. Feb. 17, 1966 [March 4, 1965], No. 9323/65. Heading A4F. [Also in Division B7] An apparatus usable for cleaning tanks and capable of being driven along a submerged surface comprises a chamber 1 having an open side 12, a propeller pump 5 which maintains a reduced pressure inside the chamber 1 relative to the outside pressure and a steerable wheel 4 capable of being swivelled through an angle of at least 90 degrees. The steerable wheel 4 is driven by the driving motor 6 and steered by the steering motor 7. Brushes 25, which are driven by the motor 8, are attached to the water-tight casing 10. Pump motor 9 drives the propeller pump 5 which continuously removes water from inside chamber 1 and discharges it through the outlet 2. The reduced pressure inside the chamber then forces the apparatus against the submerged surface. Supporting wheels 3 are idle and do not swivel.
