Abstract
The present invention relates to improved subsea or submerged cooler designs for subsea applications, and particularly to a unique pipe support arrangement (5, 16, 17, 18) in a submerged cooler (20), an improved submerged cooler frame (1) and an improved submerged cooler (20).
Claims13
A pipe support arrangement of a structural frame of a submerged cooler, the pipe support arrangement comprising:
- at least one pipe support beam configured for carrying approximately perpendicularly arranged cooler piping for the submerged cooler;
- and
- at least one structural beam of the structural frame, wherein each structural beam includes at least one first bracket and at least one second bracket, wherein the first and second brackets are firmly arranged onto the structural beam and are configured for receiving inbetween the pipe support beam, the pipe support beam being supported and held by the brackets the pipe support beam being approximately perpendicular to the structural beam, the pipe support beam being moveably arranged inbetween the brackets, wherein the pipe support arrangement further includes limitation means for securing a predetermined limited translation of the pipe support beam in a longitudinal direction with respect to the cooler piping.
(canceled)
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 configured for carrying approximately perpendicularly arranged cooler piping for the submerged cooler;
- and
- at least one structural beam of the structural frame, wherein each structural beam includes at least one first bracket and at least one second bracket, wherein the first and second brackets are firmly arranged onto the structural beam and are configured for receiving inbetween the pipe support beam, the pipe support beam being supported and held by the brackets, the pipe support beam being approximately perpendicular to the structural beam, the pipe support beam being moveably arranged inbetween the brackets, wherein the pipe support arrangement further includes limitation means for securing a predetermined limited translation of the pipe support beam in a longitudinal direction with respect to the cooler piping;
- and
- a cooler piping, wherein the cooler piping includes several pipes, the pipes in a row running approximately perpendicularly to the pipe support beam of the structural frame and being firmly connected to the pipe support beam, the pipes in a row being parallel to each other.
