  • Subsea bop control system with dual-action check valve
    Patent number: 11105435
    Abstract: A subsea hydraulic system comprises a dual (or dual action) check valve on a port for connection to a remotely operated vehicle (ROV). The check valve provides backpressure to flow in either direction. This keeps hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic system, and seawater out. If flow needs to return to the ROV, it may flow out the port, subject to a selected back pressure.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 17, 2019
    Date of Patent: August 31, 2021
    Assignee: National Coupling Company
    Inventors: Robert E. Smith, III, Timothy Goggans, Frank Harold Hollister
