  • Publication number: 20240053103
    Abstract: A wet surface air cooler (WSAC), including an evaporative spiral plate heat exchanger for flowing a process medium therethrough, a spray system for spraying a cooling medium directly onto the evaporative spiral plate heat exchanger and a fan for causing air to flow through the evaporative spiral plate heat exchanger, the combination of the sprayed cooling medium onto the evaporative spiral plate heat exchanger and the air flowing therethrough causes the cooling medium to at least partially evaporate to lower the temperature of the process medium.

  • Publication number: 20210404675
    Abstract: A wet surface air cooler (WSAC), including a tube bundle having a process medium therein, a first inlet, a nozzle assembly positioned adjacent to the first inlet for spraying water over the tube bundle to cool the process medium, an outlet, a fill section spaced from the tube bundle and positioned directly below the outlet, a second inlet provided in an outer wall of the WSAC and positioned below the fill section, the second inlet being configured to provide air from outside the WSAC to the fill section, a fan assembly for causing cause air to flow through the inlet, then past the tube bundle, to be mixed with air flowing through the second inlet, and out the outlet, and a basin extending an entire width of the WSAC for receiving water sprayed from the nozzle assembly.

  • Patent number: 9951584
    Abstract: A guide funnel includes segments that have a funnel surface running at an oblique angle between a bottom end and an inner circumferential edge of the top end. The width of the funnel surface is sized so that, when the guide funnel is in an assembled state, a continuous or discontinuous funnel wall is formed between adjacent segments. The bottom end can include an arcuate-shaped ring segment that forms a portion of an outer periphery of the guide funnel. The top end can be sized so that when the guide funnel is in the assembled state a side of the top end abuts a side of an adjacent top end. An adaptor ring can be secured to the inner circumferential edge of the top end and later removed and replaced with another adaptor ring to provide a different size guide funnel.

  • Patent number: 9903173
    Abstract: A subsea connection for a pressurized fluid flow path includes a body comprising a body flow path and a spool attachable to the body. The spool includes a spool flow path in fluid communication with the body flow path with the spool attached to the body and a corrosion resistant layer. A seal is also included and is actuatable against the corrosion resistant layer to form a seal between the body and the spool.

  • Publication number: 20180030791
    Abstract: A lifting apparatus for subsea equipment and a method of installing subsea equipment for a subsea well. A lower marine riser package (LMRP) including elevator links that pivot on a load bearing structure located on the LMRP. An elevator link can include a stem coupled between a pivot loop and a crane loop releasably attachable to a crane block on a hoisting mechanism, such as a gantry crane. The elevator link can be configured to support at least some of the weight of the LMRP. The elevator links can be adjusted to a predetermined spacing between crane blocks by pivoting the elevator links on pivot points located on the load bearing structure.
