  • Thermally insulated vertical subsea connection system
    Patent number: 10787863
    Abstract: A vertical connection system for subsea connection of a first tubular member to a second tubular member, the system comprising a lower coupling member comprising an upright casing which encloses a liquid-filled space, wherein a hub of the first tubular member is fixed to the casing at an upper end thereof and the first tubular member extends through said space; and an upper coupling member, which comprises a guide frame configured to slidingly receive said casing when the upper coupling member is lowered downwards onto the lower coupling member, wherein a hub of the second tubular member is fixed to the upper coupling member. The guide frame is provided with a layer of thermally insulating material on its outside. The liquid-filled space is delimited downwards by a bottom wall formed by thermally insulating material or covered by a layer of thermally insulating material.
