Patent number: 10298005Abstract: An electrical penetrator assembly is shown, configured to feed electrical voltage and current through a wall separating a first volume and a second volume, which may have different pressure and/or may be filled with different fluids. The connector comprises a wall or partition having a through opening. An electrical conductor surrounded by a tubular insulator body passes the opening through the wall. A conductive or semi-conductive coating is arranged on the exterior of the insulator body, the coating surrounding the insulator body for a portion of its length, the coating in electrical contact with the wall, wherein the coated portion of the insulator body is shaped to displace the electric field around the conductor away from the wall and reduce the electric field strength around the insulator body by increasing the electric field strength inside the insulator body.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2015Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: Vetco Gray Scandinavia ASInventors: Svein Tryti, Jan Erik Elnan-Knutsen, Erik Raad, Gorm Sande

Patent number: 7749459Abstract: A device, located in a vessel having an inlet and at least one outlet, through which a mixture of fluids flows, for promoting electrostatic coalescence of a first conductive fluid emulsified in a second fluid. The device includes a number of tubular electrostatic coalescer elements extending in the flow direction which are arranged in a matrix arranged over the cross sectional area of the vessel, and an applicator operative to apply an electrical field to the fluids flowing through the coalescer elements.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2002Date of Patent: July 6, 2010Assignee: Aibel ASInventors: Pål Jahre Nilsen, Gorm Sande, Wojciech Piasecki

Publication number: 20090210453Abstract: Any external application using data access functionality can use the attribute consistency service to update and synchronize attribute value for an entity. The application can access the relations of an entity, which are stored in an entity reference database. In case of inconsistent attribute values, a master attribute value is determined which is then written to the defined attributes of the applications. The consistency of data stored in various IT systems can be ensured prior to attempting to access it. Errors by calling a service or functionality that would require access to data that is not available or that is inconsistent are therefore avoided.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2004Publication date: August 20, 2009Applicant: ABB Research LtdInventors: Claus Vetter, Thomas Werner, Jan Bugge, Gorm Sande

Patent number: 7520985Abstract: An electrically energized device for coalescing a first conductive fluid emulsified in a second fluid. A tube member has at least one fluid inlet and at least one fluid outlet. The tube member defines a flow channel for an emulsion of the first and second fluid from its inlet side to its outlet side and includes at least one electrically insulating wall portion. An interacting pair of a first and a second electrode is separated from the first and second fluid by at least one insulating wall portion of the tube member. The electrodes are supplied with a voltage for the purpose of subjecting the first and second fluid flowing through the flow channel to an electrostatic field. At least one passive center electrode is made of a conducting material and is arranged in the channel and electrically insulated from the first and second electrode.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2002Date of Patent: April 21, 2009Assignee: Aibel ASInventors: Pål Jahre Nilsen, Gorm Sande, Wojciech Piasecki

Publication number: 20080195576Abstract: A method and computer-based system for retrieving, accessing and storing data otherwise stored in a plurality of IT systems arranged for operating a part of one or more electrical power networks. The method and computer-based system provide integration of otherwise separate systems such as GIS, SCADA, ERP and/or CMMS. The integration includes an XML/CIM layer for data exchange and a virtual asset register containing references to objects representing assets in the power networks. A human-machine interface and a computer program for carrying out the method.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2005Publication date: August 14, 2008Applicant: ABB Technology Ltd.Inventors: Gorm Sande, Jan Bugge, Lars Gundersen, Svein Vatland, Tormod Lund, Erik Svensson, Danny Julian, Claus Vetter, Thomas Werner
