Abstract:
In a plant for the production of fuel gas from boil-off and from liquefied gas with the aid of a combined heat exchanger (9), a compressor (4) is placed upstream of the heat exchanger in the gas line carrying boil-off. Compressed boil-off and liquefied gas pass in heat exchange in a combined heat exchanger (9) which has separate flow banks (7, 8) for liquefied gas and boil-off, respectively. From the combined heat exchanger (9), the two volumes of gas pass in a mixture to a consumer through a pipeline (5).
Abstract:
In a method for transferring a horizontally arranged rocket (50) from a vessel (30) to a floating structure (20), a ramp (40) is provided in a position projecting out from the vessel (30), entirely or partially below a lifting device (70) provided on the floating structure (20), and is connected to the floating structure (20). The rocket (50) is moved completely or partially out on the ramp (40), and is lifted over to the floating structure (20) by means of the floating structure's (20) lifting device (70).
Abstract:
In a method and a device for vertically lifting a horizontally arranged cylindrical object, especially a rocket (50), from a base (40) by means of one or more lifting yokes (61) which are suspended in a lifting device (70), preferably comprising one or more lifting wires (71) which are suspended from a crane beam (24), the lifting yoke (61) is placed above the object (50) and connected thereto, jacks (62) are provided between the base (40) and the lifting yoke (61), the lifting yoke (61) with the object (50) are lifted up with the jacks (62) from the base (40) to a critical height for the lift, the tension in the lifting wires (71) is increased, thus transferring the weight of the lifting yoke (61) and the object (50) from the jacks (62) to the lifting wires (71), and the lifting yoke (61) with the object (62) are lifted up from the jacks (62) by means of the lifting wires (71).
Abstract:
A device for a transport means, for assembling, preparing and transport to the launch site of a rocket, wherein the rocket consists of a plurality of modules (2, 3, 4) and a payload (5) which shall be transported into space, has suitable facilities for assembling, preparing and transporting the rocket with the rocket's main axis extending horizontally. The transport means, which may be a ship (1), has a control room (8) for controlling and monitoring the assembly, preparation and launching of the rocket from a floating structure (20). The said facilities can be a covered deck (6), equipped with an assembly workshop, with associated equipment for completion of the rocket which has to be launched.
