Submerged cooler arrangements

A submerged cooler comprising:

• a structural frame including at least one pipe support arrangement, the at least one pipe support arrangement including:
• at least one pipe support beam;
• and
• at least one structural beam having at least one first bracket and at least one second bracket, wherein the at least one first bracket and the at least one second bracket are firmly arranged onto the at least one structural beam and are configured to receive therebetween the at least one pipe support beam, the at least one pipe support beam being supported and held by the at least one first bracket and the at least one second bracket, wherein the at least one pipe support beam is approximately perpendicular to the at least one structural beam, and wherein the at least one pipe support beam is moveably arranged between the at least one first bracket and the at least one second bracket;
• and
• at least one translation limiting assembly configured to limit translation of the at least one pipe support beam;
• and
• a plurality of cooler pipes arranged in a plurality of parallel rows, each row running approximately perpendicularly to the at least one pipe support beam and being firmly connected to the at least one pipe support beam, wherein the at least one translation limiting assembly limits translation of the at least one pipe support beam in a longitudinal direction with respect to the plurality of cooler pipes.

A pipe support arrangement for a submerged cooler, the pipe support arrangement comprising:

• a plurality of structural beams;
• a plurality of pipe support beams, each of the plurality of pipe support beams being approximately perpendicular to at least one of the plurality of structural beams, each of the plurality of pipe support beams being configured to support approximately perpendicularly arranged cooler piping;
• a plurality of first bracket assemblies and a plurality of second bracket assemblies, wherein one of the plurality of first bracket assemblies and one of the plurality of second bracket assemblies define a pair;
• each first bracket assembly in the pair includes:
• a first bracket firmly arranged onto one of the plurality of structural beams;
• a first bracket plate firmly arranged onto the first bracket so that a sliding surface of the first bracket plate faces one of the plurality of pipe support beams;
• and
• a first support plate firmly arranged onto the one of the plurality of pipe support beams so that a sliding surface of the first support plate faces the first bracket;
• wherein the first bracket plate and the first support plate are made of a material having at least one of:
• i) a low coefficient of friction and ii) the sliding surface of the first bracket plate and the sliding surface of the first support plate are treated to get the low coefficient of friction so that translation of the one of the plurality of pipe support beams in a longitudinal direction is eased;
• each second bracket assembly in the pair includes:
• a second bracket firmly arranged onto the one of the plurality of structural beams;
• a second bracket plate firmly arranged onto the second bracket so that a sliding surface of the second bracket plate faces the one of the plurality of pipe support beams;
• and
• a second support plate firmly arranged onto the one of the plurality of pipe support beams so that a sliding surface of the second support plate faces the second bracket;
• wherein the second bracket plate and the second support plate are made of a material having at least one of:
• i) a low coefficient of friction and ii) the sliding surface of the second bracket plate and the sliding surface of the second support plate are treated to get the low coefficient of friction so that the translation of the one of the plurality of pipe support beams in the longitudinal direction is eased;
• wherein each paired first bracket assembly and second bracket assembly are configured to receive therebetween the one of the plurality of pipe support beams such that the one of the plurality of pipe support beams is moveably arranged between the first bracket and the second bracket;
• and
• a plurality of translation limiting assemblies, wherein at least one of the plurality of translation limiting assemblies is associated with the pair of first and second bracket assemblies, and wherein the at least one of the plurality of translation limiting assemblies associated with the pair of first and second bracket assemblies is configured to limit translation of the one of the plurality of pipe support beams in the longitudinal direction.
