Using logs to build houses is a common practice in extremely cold areas. Siberia and the Far Northeast have a large number of wooden houses made from local materials. They will not be damaged by weather changes and are also warm in winter and cool in summer.
.
The only disadvantage is that fire prevention is a problem, so wood is generally not used to build houses in field operations, especially for oil exploration operations that have high requirements for fire prevention and poison prevention.
In oil extraction operations, fire prevention and ventilation are separate professions and are very important.
In the current situation, only logs can be used to build temporary camps. First, the living problems of the personnel must be solved, then the food problems, and finally the operational problems.
The outreach staff communicated with local officials, and after spending a sum of money, they obtained a flat site near the camp to build a helicopter landing site. It will be built as a heliport and hundreds of young and strong laborers were obtained.
, are all very experienced lumberjacks and construction workers, which are in short supply for the exploration vanguard.
Following Yao Yuan's order, Dongfang Petroleum's powerful logistics support system was operating at high speed. In the afternoon of that day, 12 sorties were flown over, transporting a total of 60 tons of urgently needed materials.
This kind of material delivery capability is more powerful than the military of many countries.
The first thing to be solved was the problem of generator set failure. A Mi-26 airlifted a 12-cylinder 190 diesel engine produced by Jichai Power. It was an improved model launched by Nanfang Industrial after acquiring Jichai Power. It was specially designed to generate electricity in field operations.
Diesel engines used.
What Yao Yuan didn't expect was that Nian Haihong actually came over in person.
Seeing Nian Haihong getting off the helicopter with her head lowered with the support of her assistant, Yao Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, coughed a few times and said, "Nian Haihong, why are you running here?"
It was around five o'clock in the afternoon. After a high temperature of over 30 degrees at noon, the temperature dropped quickly. Yao Yuan had already put on a warm sweater.
Nian Haihong said with concern, "Xiao Yao, do you have a cold?"
"It's not just me, half of the exploration vanguard team is sick, some have colds and fevers, and the health team is almost overwhelmed." Yao Yuan smiled bitterly, shook his head, and nodded to Zhan Chenggui, who came with him.
Zhan Chenggui must come over. The situation here is like starting from scratch. Many equipments need to be improved or even re-developed. He, the chief engineer of the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences, cannot come here without him.
Nian Haihong said, "This is the first time I have heard of such a large temperature difference, but I feel uneasy when I come to see it. The 190 diesel engine sent was developed for field operations. This is the first time it has been put into practical use. I hope it can
I can handle it."
The condensation point of diesel is not fixed, but different brands of diesel have different condensation points. For example, the No. 0 diesel used in most areas of our country has a condensation point of 4 degrees Celsius, which means that the temperature will drop below 4 degrees Celsius.
solidification.
Without interference measures, No. 0 diesel cannot be used in northern areas in winter.
The same is true for the 190-type diesel engine that uses diesel as fuel. This is a large diesel engine designed for field operations and can use all grades of diesel, including No. 50 diesel.
-The condensation point of No. 50 diesel is minus 50 degrees Celsius, and the extremely cold temperatures at night in the Kashagan area will not affect it.
The diesel engine used before had a failure due to partial solidification of diesel fuel.
A small problem is that No. 50 diesel cannot be refined domestically, so Yao Yuan needs to import diesel of these grades from abroad to use.
This also highlights the importance of the Nusi refining base - it can fill all the gaps in the domestic petroleum refining field and get rid of dependence on foreign high-quality refined oil.
Yao Yuan said, "You are so old and there is really no need to go there in person. We young people will be fine after a few weeks of adapting. If you have any shortcomings, I can't explain it."
"I'm not that careless as an old man. Let's not talk about this anymore. We should seize the time to organize personnel to install it. If there is no electricity, it will be difficult for our comrades tonight." Nian Haihong said worriedly.
He is an old technician who came from extremely difficult times and knows very well how uncomfortable field operations in harsh environments can be.
They came even if they didn't come, and they couldn't be driven away in a hurry, so Yao Yuan stopped persuading and immediately asked someone to organize the installation of the 190 diesel engine. Zhan Chenggui trotted off to personally direct it.
Using a diesel engine to drive a generator to generate electricity is the most reliable, economical and convenient way to generate electricity in the wild. The fuel used by emergency power generation vehicles is also diesel.
Diesel is safer than gasoline not because gasoline has a lower ignition point. On the contrary, the ignition point of gasoline is as high as 427 degrees Celsius, which is almost twice that of diesel. However, gasoline is volatile, has a low flash point, and is very easy to burn when mixed with air. The overall safety ratio
No diesel.
Once again, the torque of a diesel engine is greater than that of a gasoline engine with the same displacement and power, and the torque is high at low speeds. Therefore, engineering vehicles, heavy-duty vehicles, generator sets, etc. all use diesel engines instead of gasoline engines.
The dispatched technicians were all well-trained, and they got busy in an orderly manner. Gu Peiqiang directed the workers to use a crane to lift the square 190 diesel engine to the reserved position of the generator set, and the technicians immediately installed it.
Connect the fuel tank.
The installation of the 190 diesel engine was completed in less than an hour, and the workers filled the fuel tank with precious No. 50 diesel.
There are no problems with other parts of the generator set. The fault was with the diesel engine. Now it has been replaced with a new diesel engine. As long as the diesel engine does not strike, there will be no problems with the generator set.
The worker finished preparing and looked at Yao Yuan.
Yao Yuan nodded, and the worker started the diesel engine.
The 190 diesel engine has as many as four starting methods. This is due to the consideration of working in harsh environments such as severe cold. The simplest and most reliable way is manual starting. Simply put, it is to use a rope to pull the turbine to start.
The Z-type starting lever of the walking tractor and the Z-type starting lever of the old Jiefang truck are the starting devices...
This time, manual start was used. Several strong workers pulled the rope hard and started running. The 190 diesel engine began to breathe heavily. Soon the piston rods all started to work, and bursts of black smoke came out, and then formed
A beautiful song of mechanical piston movement...
The 190-type diesel engine continuously works to drive the motor to run, and the kinetic energy is converted into electricity and input into the battery. Another line is directly input into the camp power grid. Suddenly, all the electrical equipment in the camp returned to normal status. The most intuitive thing is that the camp lighting system all lights up.
.
The largest power consumer is the air conditioning system, ventilation, refrigeration, and heating, with a total power of up to 150 kilowatts, which is equivalent to 58 1-horsepower air conditioners.
When operating at full capacity, 150 kilowatt-hours of electricity will be used in an hour, which is 3,600 kilowatt-hours of electricity in a day, which is equivalent to the daily power consumption of a 500-household community.
In other words, when this generator set is operating at full capacity, it can meet the daily electricity needs of thousands of people in several nearby towns.
It can be seen how much power consumption the exploration vanguard camp has.
Of course, this is theoretical data. In actual use, the generator set usually only needs to maintain 60% power operation to meet demand, with a margin of up to 40%, which is enough to cope with most special situations. This is what Yao Yuan has always done.
style - frontline operations must ensure sufficient redundancy.
However, what needs to be determined now is whether this 190-type diesel engine, specially developed for operation in high-temperature and cold-weather areas, can withstand the huge temperature difference in the Kashagan area. This will take twenty-four hours...
