Transporting and installing cipp liner system with refrigeration and feeder
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11933447B2) details a system designed for transporting and delivering cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) liners to line existing pipes. The system includes a chassis with a bed supported by wheels for transport, a container covering a portion of the bed with compartments for storing CIPP liners carrying curable resin. A refrigeration system cools the compartment to delay resin curing, while a powered feeder draws the liners for installation into pipes. An engine, controller, and remote control facilitate operation, with features like feed rollers, idler rollers, and pinch rollers aiding liner movement within the system.
Furthermore, the patent describes a method for rehabilitating pipes using a refrigerated compartment within a vehicle to transport uncured resin-carrying liners to job sites. The liners are fed out through a side wall for installation using a powered feeder. The system also includes a compressor connected to the refrigeration system for inflating the liners. Additionally, another embodiment of the system features a container with a storage space under a floor, a tank for water supply, and a conduit within the refrigerated container connected to the compressor. These innovations aim to streamline the process of CIPP liner installation and enhance efficiency in pipe rehabilitation projects.
