Abstract: A transfer line arrangement includes a transfer line for fluids and a support structure attached to the transfer line. The transfer line includes flexible sections enabling pivotable movement of the transfer line around an axis such that one end of the transfer line is connectable to a connector at a fluid source for a fluid and the other end of the transfer line is connectable with a connector at a tank to be filled with fluid. The transfer line includes vacuum insulated multiwalled tubes.

Abstract: A transfer line module includes a rigid multi-walled transfer line section with an inner and an outer pipe and a sensor integrated in the transfer line section. The transfer line section is connectable at both ends with a thermally insulated multi-walled transfer line comprising an inner and outer tube which are connected with the inner and outer pipe of the transfer line section, respectively. The transfer line is apt for transferring temperature sensitive fluids. The transfer line section is provided with a receptacle for the sensor, which is mounted in the receptacle. The receptacle is open towards the interior of the inner pipe such that the sensor is in direct contact with the fluid inside the inner pipe of the transfer line section.

Abstract: A monitoring system and a method for detecting bending and/or strain of a corrugated tube are suggested. The system comprises at least two sensor chains extending along a longitudinal direction of the corrugated tube at different circumferential positions. The sensor chains are configured to measure bending and/or strain exerted on the corrugated tube. The sensor chains are connected to a signal processing unit that is configured to process output signals of the sensor chains for determining accumulated damages.

Abstract: A transfer system is provided for transferring temperature sensitive fluids from a supply tank to a receiver tank. The supply and the receiver tank (101,102) are fluidly connected by a piping arrangement comprising at least two thermally insulated transfer lines (103a, 103b) and first and second piping assemblies (104a-d) associated with the receiver and the supply tank, respectively. One end of each transfer line is connected with one of the supply and receiver tank and the other end of each transfer line is provided with a coupling for coupling the other end with the other one of the supply and receiver tank. The transfer system (100) is selectively operable in a transfer mode and an idle mode by appropriately coupling and decoupling the first and second transfer lines. In either mode the piping arrangement remains at or close to an operating temperature of the transfer system in the transfer mode.
