Multi-course swivel
摘要:
A rotating coupling device or connector for interconnection between a number of risers (12) suspended from a submerged buoy and a pipe system on a floating vessel for the production of hydrocarbons, comprising a swivel unit consisting of a pair of concentric swivel members (20, 21) in the form of a male member (20) and a female member (21) defining mutually sealed annuluses (22) communicating with associated fluid paths (16) between the topical risers (12) and the pipe system on the vessel. The female member (21) is adapted for non-rotatable attachment to the vessel. The male member comprises a number of axially extending pipes (24) which, at their upper ends are connected to respective annuluses (22) and at their lower ends comprise a releasable connection (25) with fluid paths (16) leading to the respective risers (12). The fluid paths (16) are arranged in a thick-walled top plate (15) which is adapted to be fastened to the top of the buoy, and which, at the lower ends of the fluid paths (16), comprises a releasable interconnection (18) with the upper ends of pipes (17) leading to the risers (12).
