  • Subsea actuator and method of actuating a subsea actuator
    Patent number: 11384617
    Abstract: The following invention relates to a subsea actuator (16?; 16?) for actuating a subsea rotating component (81; 181); comprising: a first biasing element (82; 182); a motor (85; 185); a holding element (83; 100, 183) configured to receive an input force; a rotatable stem (80?, 80?, 250, 84; 80; 200) operatively connectable to the component; a force transmitting arrangement (84, 80?, 80?; 83, 84; 183?, 195, 201; 84, 99, 86, 101, 83) connectable to the first biasing clement (82; 182) and the holding element (83; 100, 183); a first connection which in a first mode is configured to lock the stem (80?, 80?, 250, 84; 80; 200) in a rotatable engagement with the motor (85; 185) and in a second mode is configured to unlock the stem (80?, 80?, 250, 84; 80; 200) from the rotatable engagement with the motor (85; 185) and allow the stem (80?, 80?, 250, 84; 80; 200) to be influenced by the first biasing element (82; 182); wherein the first biasing element (82; 182) and the stem (80?, 80?, 250, 84; 80; 200) are releasably co

  • Subsea hydraulic control device and a method for producing thereof
    Patent number: 11378103
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a subsea hydraulic control device (10) for hydraulically controlling a subsea module (2). The control device (10) comprises a hydraulic distribution unit (12) with a valve unit (13) and a manifold unit (50), where hydraulic fluid lines are provided in the valve unit (13) and in the manifold unit (50). The hydraulic distribution unit (12) comprises a low pressure hydraulic input port (21) connectable to a low pressure fluid source (LP) and connected to a low pressure fluid line (22) within the hydraulic distribution unit (12), a high pressure hydraulic input port (31) connectable to a high pressure fluid source (HP) and connected to a high pressure fluid line (32) within the hydraulic distribution unit (12), a return port (41) connectable to a return fluid reservoir (R) and connected to a return fluid line (42) within the hydraulic distribution unit (12) and a number of hydraulic output ports (24, 34) connectable to subsea actuators (A) of the subsea module (2).
