Definitions

  • the invention relates to a system for transferring a fluid such as liquefied natural gas between a vessel such as a shuttle methane tanker and a floating or fixed fluid production or storage unit of the articulated arm type with n degrees of freedom, in general 6, each ensured by a rotating joint.
  • a system of this type is known from the document US 4408 943 , which is considered to be the closest state of the art.
  • the articulated arm must be able to be connected to the LNG carrier and disconnected safely in difficult sea conditions.
  • This system and, in general, all fluid transfer systems based rigid pipes articulated to each other, have the disadvantage that all the rotary joints are provided on the articulated arm which, therefore, has a structure complex, bulky, large mass and whose rotations are difficult to control.
  • the invention aims to overcome this disadvantage.
  • the transfer system according to the invention is characterized in that at least one rotary joint is provided on the ship.
  • reference numeral 1 denotes a vessel such as a shuttle tanker, 2 the manifold of the ship, 3 an articulated transfer arm which comprises at its free end a connection / disconnection device to the manifold, designated by the reference 4 and whose other end is connected to the piping 5 of the production or storage unit.
  • This unit could be floating or fixed.
  • the figure shows the transfer system during a connection to the manifold of the ship.
  • the articulated arm 3 essentially comprises three segments of pipe articulated to each other, namely a first support segment 6 whose free end is connected to the pipework 5, a second arm segment 7, called the inner arm, which is connected to the segment 6 by a first rotary joint 8 and whose other end is connected by a second rotary joint 9 to a 90 degree elbow 12 connected at its other end to a third rotary joint 11 which connects this elbow to the third arm segment 10, said outer arm.
  • the lower free end of the outer arm is connected by a fourth rotary joint 15 to the connection device 4.
  • the axis of rotation of the rotary joint 9 is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the 8
  • the axis of the rotary joint 11 is perpendicular to the axis of the joint 9
  • the axis of the joint 15 is perpendicular to that of the seal 11.
  • the schematic figure 3 clearly shows these orientations of the four rotary joints of the articulated arm 3, as well as the relative arrangement of the different bends and interconnecting pieces.
  • the two missing rotary joints of the transfer device with six degrees of freedom and therefore six rotary joints are provided on the ship. These two rotation joints are part of the connection pipe 18 which is fixed on the manifold 2 and is formed by two 90 ° elbows 19, 20.
  • the two remaining rotary joints designated by the references 26 and 27 are provided , 27, of the same axis as the manifold 2 which is connected to the elbow 19, the other 26 connecting the elbows 19 and 20.
  • the axes of the rotating joints 26 and 27 are oriented perpendicularly to one another.
  • the transfer system is equipped with a guiding and handling device, part of which is mounted on the articulated arm and another part on the connection pipe 18.
  • This guiding device comprises, in known manner, a pinch 28 which is oriented by the tensile force of the cable 35 indicated below and mounted on a support arm 29 supported by the pipe element 20 to be shifted laterally. of the flange 21, and a trumpet 31 mounted on the connection device 4 being laterally offset by a support arm 32 of the service coupler 33 of the device 4.
  • the supports 32 and 29 are such that the axis axis trumpet 31 / axis service coupler 33 and pinch pin 28 / flange axis 21 are identical. The cooperation of the trumpet and pinch ensures the parallelism of the flange face 21 and the face of the service coupler 33.
  • the device further comprises a winch 34 mounted, in the example shown, on the upper part of the outer arm 10 of the articulated arm 3 and a cable 35 capable of being wound on this winch and brought by cable guides 36 through the trumpet 31 to be fixed, as in the example shown, at the end of the pinch 28.
  • the winch could be removed at any other suitable place, for example on the support arm of the trumpet.
  • the support arm 29 of the pinch 28 is provided at its end with a rotary indexing fork 38 intended to cooperate with a rotating indexing roller 39 secured to the trumpet 31 with an offset appropriate side corresponding to the offset of the fork 38 / pinoche 28. It is the cooperation of the roller 39 and the fork 38, which ensures the good coaxiality of the coupler 33 and the flange 21 by rotation about the common axis pinoche 28 / trumpet 31.
  • the articulated arm 3 is balanced by means of a counterweight 41 disposed on an extension 42 of the internal arm 7.
  • the balancing must be such that the handling cable is always in tension during the phases of connection / disconnection.
  • the figures presented advantageously have arranged the different elements of the arm so that, whatever the angle of rotation of the rotating joints 8, 9, 11 and 15, the axis of the trumpet always intersects the axes of rotation of the rotating joints 9, 11 and 15.
  • it will be attached during the production of such a system to arrange the elements of the outer arm 10 and transfer device 4 so as to bring the center of gravity of these elements at the axis of the trumpet 31 and as high as possible.
  • the elements of the connection piping 18 have been arranged in such a way that the axis of the pinch always intersects the axes of rotation of the rotating joints 26 and 27.
  • the six rotating joints give the system the six degrees of freedom required.
  • the correct positioning of the arm 3 on the connection flange 21 of the manifold is ensured by the guiding device (28, 31, 38, 39), which allows the transfer system according to the invention to also be used at open sea despite the dynamic movements generated by the environment (swell, current, wind).
  • the articulated arm can be less imposing and lighter.
  • the figure 4 illustrates an embodiment of the transfer device according to the invention according to which three rotary joints corresponding to rotating joints 8, 9 and 11 of Figures 1 to 3 are located on the articulated arm 3, while the pipe 18 attached to the manifold comprises, additionally to the rotating joints 26, 27, a third rotary joint designated by the reference 15 'since it corresponds, functionally, to the rotary joint 15 of the Figures 1 to 3 .
  • the pipe 18 comprises an additional portion in the form of a U 41, the seal 15 being placed in the base of this U-shaped portion so as always to comply with the advantageous geometric provisions mentioned above. It should be noted that, in the case where this component becomes available, the three-rotational arrangement could be replaced by a single fluid-flow ball joint which would reduce the bulk.
  • FIGS 5 and 6 illustrate an embodiment of the invention according to which five rotary joints are provided on the articulated arm 3, namely the joints 8, 9, 11, 15 and 26 ', the latter seal corresponding functionally to the seal 26 of the Figures 1 to 3 .
  • the seal 26 ' is disposed just upstream of the connection device 4.
  • the sixth rotary joint 27 remains on the manifold pipe 18, in accordance with the Figures 1 to 3 .
  • the figure 7 shows yet another embodiment whose particularity lies in the fact that the guide device and the connecting device of the articulated arm 3 are integrated so as to obtain a coaxial structure.
  • the pinch 28 is arranged coaxially in the connection flange 21 of the pipe 18 attached to the manifold and the trumpet 31 is made in a tubular member 45 which is arranged coaxially in the connection opening 46 of the connection device extending into the axis thereof while the tube away from the end takes the form of a U allowing the tubular member 45 to open outwardly in the curved portion.
  • the winch 34 is housed in the space defined by the U-tube, above the tubular member 45 of the trumpet 31 so that the cable can pass through the trumpet.
  • connection flange 21 at the edge of the vessel and to be supported by a support 45 on the ship structure so as to transmit all or part of the efforts from the arm to the ship's structure and relieve the manifold of the ship, as illustrated by the figure 8 .
  • connection device 4 of the articulated arm 3 comprises a service coupler 33 and an emergency disconnection device 43.
