The invention relates to the field of ships, in particular to a
pressure balance type floating body and a mounting method thereof. The floating body comprises water chambers, air chambers,
air chamber inflation valves, a submersed pressure balancing
control system, water chamber water passing systems and water chamber ventilation systems, wherein the interior of the floating body is divided into the water chambers and the air chambers. The center of
buoyancy of the floating body and the
gravity center of the floating body are in the same vertical line, and the center of
buoyancy of the floating body is higher than the
gravity center of the floating body. One
air chamber inflation valve is arranged on each
air chamber, and is connected with the submersed pressure balancing
control system. One water chamber water passing
system and one water chamber ventilation
system are arranged on each water tank. The mounting method comprises the following steps: filling water into all the water chambers, lowering a main body of the floating body into the water and soaking the main body in the water,
towing the main body of the floating body downwards, controlling the air pressure in each air chamber and external
water pressure to be consistent, filling air in all the water chambers, and draining water in the water chambers to supply upward positive
buoyancy. The
pressure balance type floating body and the mounting method thereof have the advantages that the floating body can arrive at the working
water area at one step, so that a large amount of manpower and physical resources are saved.
