  • Patent number: 8097810
    Abstract: The invention relates to a high pressure, high voltage penetrator assembly for subsea, topside or land based use, wherein the assembly is upright attachable to a wet gas and/or liquid handling compressor or pump or to/from a transformer, and wherein the assembly includes a penetrator unit for feed-through of electric power to a motor of the compressor or pump or to/from the transformer; a funnel shaped housing with a housing chamber, the penetrator unit being located at an upper end of the chamber; a grid located inside the chamber transversely of a longitudinal axis of the chamber, the penetrator unit being located above the grid, a filter located in the chamber below the grid and above an inlet to a housing of the motor or to/from a housing of the transformer, and a sensor unit extending into the chamber from the penetrator unit and towards, but spaced from the grid.

  • Publication number: 20090173165
    Abstract: A sensor of the inductive type comprising at least one support, wherein the support is provided with at least one coil, and wherein the coil is adapted to be fed with a high-frequency signal. The coil or each coil part thereof has its respective windings arranged in one plane and the support is formed of a disc-shaped substrate having a deformation temperature which is at least 1000° C. The windings are provided on the substrate by vapour deposition or etching. The sensor is adapted for operation selected in the frequency range of 1 MHz-1 GHz. Through the substrate and in the centre of said at least one coil there may be arranged a core of ferromagnetic material. The sensor is expediently embeddable with the aid of glass ceramic material or glass material in an aperture in a holder of metal or metal alloy.
