Abstract: Fluid transfer system (100) including a liquid transfer pipe (110) and a gas transfer pipe (120) that are concentric, the gas transfer pipe (120) surrounding the liquid transfer pipe (110), and a buffer member (130), disposed between the liquid transfer pipe (110) and the gas transfer pipe (120) and surrounding at least partially the liquid transfer pipe (110), the buffer member (130) being configured to transfer an evaporated portion of the liquefied gas circulating in the liquid transfer pipe (110) from the liquid transfer pipe (110) to the gas transfer pipe (120). Swivel joint device (1000) including such a system (100), stack (1010) of swivel joint devices, and fluid exploitation installation (1).

Abstract: This relates to an electrical rotary joint device configured to equip an energy exploitation installation including a first part having an electrical connector and a first electrical track electrically connected to the first connector, a second part having a second electrical connector and a second electrical track electrically connected to the second connector, and an electrical interconnection mechanism configured to electrically interconnect the first and second electrical tracks, with the first part and the second part being movable with respect to each other and defining between them a closed internal chamber in which the first and second electrical tracks and the electrical interconnection mechanism are housed, the latter including electrical contact members that are housed, in particular prestressed, between the first and second electrical tracks and are configured to form rolling deformable contacts between the first and second electrical tracks.

Abstract: A rotary joint device of an installation for exploiting energy includes a first annular part that is secured to a fixed mooring turret of the installation, a second annular part rotatably movable about an axis of rotation and in relation to the first fixed annular part and that is secured to a movable ship of the installation, and at least one dynamic sealing member housed inside a gap space located between the first fixed annular part and the second movable annular part and provided with a body portion and with at least one first lip that projects from the body portion. Also described is an energy exploitation installation including such a rotary joint device.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for producing a blank from an item that is configured to equip a rotating-joint device of an installation for mining fluids, in particular on an offshore platform, including the following steps: providing at least one strip of a predetermined material; providing at least one production support that is at least partially annular and that has a predetermined outer diameter; arranging the at least one strip of a predetermined material around the production support until a predetermined thickness is obtained; and removing the production support to obtain the item blank that has a predetermined cross-section.

Abstract: An electrical connection assembly (70, FIGS. 4-7) connects a cable conductor (82) of stiff material such as a copper wire, to a deformable electrode (34, FIG. 5) that lies at the surface of a sheet of elastomeric material (74). The connector assembly includes deflectable elastomeric walls that form a cavity (76) that holds an electrically conductive fluid (84) such as an electrolyte that surrounds and engages the stiff conductor (82) and that engages the elastic electrode (34) as it deflects.
