  • Publication number: 20140318636
    Abstract: A method for drain liquid collection and evacuation in a subsea compression system using a compressor, wherein an external drainage tank is arranged in direct flow communication with the compressor sump via a sump evacuation valve, the tank is set under compressor discharge pressure via a tank pressurizing line arranged to connect the tank to a compressor discharge flow upstream of a throttle valve, a tank evacuation line is arranged to connect the tank to the compressor discharge downstream of the throttle valve, drain liquid evacuation is accomplished through generation, by adjusting the throttle valve, of a flow restriction in the compressor discharge. The tank is set under compressor discharge pressure by opening of the pressure valve and the drain liquid flow is permitted into a reduced compressor discharge pressure downstream the throttle valve by opening an evacuation valve in the evacuation line.

  • Patent number: 7964079
    Abstract: An electrical appliance including at least one sheet-shaped electrode and a connecting device for electrically connecting the at least one electrode to a voltage source. The connecting device includes a casing having two or more tubular casing parts. Each casing part enclosing a channel filled with a dielectric medium, and an elongated conductor for feeding electric power from the voltage source to the at least one electrode. The conductor extends through the channels of the casing parts and is surrounded by the dielectric medium therein. The conductor extends through a hole in an electrically conductive member of each individual electrode. The conductor is electrically connected to the conductive members of the electrodes and each individual electrode has a part arranged between two of the casing parts with the two casing parts clamped against opposite sides of the intermediate electrode part.
