More Information
Summary:A variable buoyancy system has been developed for long cruising range autonomous underwater vehicle. This paper presents the design, development and testing of the system. Experiments about the characters of the hydraulic pump testing, flow rate testing of flow control valve in deep water, energy consumption of the DC motor in different operating conditions and the precision analysis of the variable buoyancy system are carried out. Experiment results show that the variable buoyancy system meets the system design demand.
