  • Patent number: 6578603
    Abstract: A swivel apparatus for the transfer of at least one pressurized process fluid, comprising a central stem (2) on which there are placed a number of ring elements (3-6) comprising at least one outlet ring (3) having a number of outlets (10) communicating through an annulus (14) with an associated course (12 resp. 13) in the stem (2), and a number of supporting rings (5, 6) which are stationarily arranged on the stem (2). Between the stem (2) and the outlet ring (3) there is arranged a distance ring (4) which is stationary relative to the stem, and on each side of the outlet ring there is arranged a supporting ring (5 resp. 6) which is stationary relative to the stem and which is axially supported both by the distance ring (4) and an axial bearing (17) arranged at a radial distance therefrom between the supporting ring (5 resp. 6) and the outlet ring (3). A dynamic sealing means (21) between the outlet ring (3) and each supporting ring (5 resp.

  • Patent number: 6412823
    Abstract: A rotating connector for the transfer of at least one pressurized process fluid, and comprising a central stem (2) on which there is placed a number of ring elements (3, 4) comprising at least one annulus element (3) for fluid transfer between an associated course (8) in the stem (2) and an outlet (9) from the connector, and a bearing ring element (4) arranged on each side of the annulus element (3) and sealed there-against by dynamic seals (14) operated by means of a barrier liquid having a higher pressure than the process fluid pressure, and a looking nut (21) to keep the ring elements (3, 4) preloaded against a shoulder (20) on the stem (2).
