Definitions

  • the invention relates to a system for transferring a fluid product, in particular liquefied natural gas, between a fluid transport vessel and a storage station such as a storage vessel, of the type comprising a tubular conveying system. fluid between the transport vessel and the storage station, one end of which is connected to the latter and the other end of which can be connected to a manifold device of the transport vessel.
  • Transfer systems of this type which are already known, have the major disadvantage of having a very complex structure without being able to operate in severe environmental conditions involving a significant relative movement between the transport vessel and the post storage, especially when it is a storage vessel.
  • the present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages and to provide a transfer system of a relatively simple structure and adaptable even in difficult environmental conditions, while allowing the transfer of liquefied natural gas.
  • the transfer system according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises a flexible transfer line freely suspended between its ends in its transfer position connected to the manifold device of the transport vessel and in that each of its two ends is provided with a rotating joint with a vertical axis so as to avoid stresses in torsion and warping of the pipe.
  • the flexible pipe is formed by a hose such as a cryogenic flexible, adapted for the transfer of a liquefied natural gas.
  • the transfer line is a succession of elements articulated to each other.
  • the flexible transfer line is suspended in a chain.
  • references 1, 2 and 3 respectively denote a vessel carrying a product such as liquefied natural gas, a storage vessel for this product and a system for transferring this product between the two vessels 1 and 2, according to the invention.
  • Number 4 indicates the water level.
  • the transfer system comprises, in the example shown, essentially two flexible fluid transfer lines 5 which, in the state of rest of the system, are wound on a wheel 6 mounted on top of a structure of support 7 in the form of a tower mounted at one end of the storage vessel 2.
  • each pipe formed advantageously by a cryogenic hose is unwound from its storage wheel 6 and connected to a manifold device 9 supported by a common support structure 10 disposed at the front of the transport vessel 1.
  • each hose 5 freely extends in a chain between its ends.
  • the transport vessel 1 is moored to the storage vessel by any suitable means such as, for example, a hawser 10.
  • the storage vessel 2 is moored and connected to the bottom 11 .
  • the two storage wheels 6 of a hose 5 are pivotally mounted on their support tower, about a vertical axis so as to allow relative movement between the transport vessel 1 and the storage vessel at an angle ⁇ without that the hoses are stressed in torsion.
  • This pivoting is ensured by means thus constituting a rotating axis with a vertical axis indicated at 8.
  • the two support towers 7 may advantageously be arranged symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis XX of the storage vessel.
  • the longitudinal axis of the transport ship is noted YY.
  • the free end designated by the general reference 13 of a cryogenic hose 5 is formed by a tip which carries a quick connector 14, an emergency disconnection device 15 disposed at a certain axial distance from the connector 14.
  • the tip 13 further carries a center pin pinoche 17 which is laterally offset from the axis of the tip but extends parallel thereto substantially in the vertical plane formed by the catenary hose.
  • a manifold device 9 mounted on the support structure 10 of a certain height, which carries at the top two bridges 22 and 23.
  • the two bridges are shifted in the axis of the ship, overlapping slightly, the front gateway 23 being disposed above the rear gateway 22.
  • the two gateways are provided to allow operators to observe and / or operate the two manifold devices 9.
  • Each device 9 comprises an arcuate tubular portion 25 in the form of an arc of some skin less than an angle of 180 °.
  • the rear end of the portion 25 is fixed by a vertical axis rotary joint 26 on a vertical pipe portion 28 of the vessel's fixed piping.
  • the arcuate portion 25 of the pivotally mounted connection device carries, at its free end, a manifold flange 30 for sealingly fastening the hose connector 14 and a trumpet 32 which is laterally offset from the connector axis by a distance allowing, during a connection of the hose to the device 9 the reception pinoche 17 of the hose connector connector.
  • the trumpet is oriented parallel to the axis of the connector 30.
  • the portion 25 of the connector device 9 of the ship still carries a winch 34 on which is wound a cable 35. This cable will be unwound during a connection of the hose 5 to the manifold device 9, passes through the trumpet 32 and is fixed to the end of the pinch 17. The connection is then by winding the cable on the winch 34.
  • a substantially semicircular cut 37 is made in the upper bridge 23 from its rear edge 38 overlapping the edge. before 39 of the lower bridge 22, around the pivot axis of the arcuate portions 25 of the manifold devices 9 coaxially with them
  • each manifold device 9 can pivot between its rest position in which its connector 30 is above the lower gateway 29 ( figure 7 ) and its working position, that is to say of connection represented on the figure 6 in which the connector 30 passes through the cutout 37 to be connected to the hose 5. It is found that the arc angle of the arcuate portion 25 of each connecting device 19 is 180 ° less than a difference allowing an appropriate inclination of the axis of the manifold flange 30 for easy connection to the hose.
  • each cryogenic hose suspended catenary 5 comprises at the level of at each end a rotary joint with a vertical axis ensuring that the hose always extends substantially in a vertical plane regardless of the misalignment angle ⁇ of the two vessels 1 and 2. This ensures a great freedom of swaying and relative laces between the boats. Thanks to rotating joints with vertical axis torsion and bending out of the plane vertical of the flexible catenary (warping) in the hose are negligible. These are therefore only exposed to very low relative roll between ships. For the safety of the hose only a measurement or control of the distance between the two ends of it is necessary.
  • the hoses never cross the mooring haws which is very important especially during an emergency disconnection. Thus the hoses can not be damaged by falling on the hawser. When disconnecting, the hoses are wound on their storage wheel
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 illustrate an alternative embodiment according to which the winch and the trumpet now bearing the references 34 'and 32' are provided on the tip 13 of each hose, while the pinoche bearing now the reference 17 'is carried by the manifold device 9.
  • the winch and the trumpet now bearing the references 34 'and 32' are provided on the tip 13 of each hose, while the pinoche bearing now the reference 17 'is carried by the manifold device 9.
  • a vertical axis rotating joint is provided at each end of the hose so that it is not subjected to torsional and warping stresses. These stresses are absorbed by the joints.
