Abstract:
A coupling that includes a rigid inner shell, a rigid outer shell positioned around the inner shell to define an intermediate space that contains an electric line and a thermally insulating layer, and an electric connecting line for heating fluid that flows in the inner shell.
Abstract:
A method for assembling a rigid pipe intended to be placed in a body of water, the rigid pipe including a metallic inner tube, a thermally insulating insulation jacket formed from an assembly of insulating parts and an outer layer. The method includes the steps of providing the metallic inner tube, forming the insulation jacket, and forming the outer layer around the insulation jacket. The method includes a step for providing a plurality of helical insulating parts and a step of mounting the helical insulating parts around the inner tube in order to form the insulation jacket.
Abstract:
The coupling includes a rigid inner shell (60) and an electric connecting line (68A, 68B), designed to heat a fluid flowing in the inner shell (60). The coupling (10) includes a rigid outer shell (62) positioned around the inner shell (60), the outer shell (62) and the inner shell (60) delimiting an intermediate space (64) between them containing the electric line (68A, 68B) and a thermally insulating layer (66) positioned in the intermediate space (64).
