Un agencement de transfert de ce type est déjà connu par la demande de brevet internationale WO2008/132417. Cet agencement présente une structure relativement complexe dans la mesure où l'extrémité interne de la partie tubulaire mobile est connectée à l'extrémité externe de la partie tubulaire fixe par un joint tournant permettant la rotation de la partie mobile entre ces positions de repos et de transfert.A transfer arrangement of this type is already known from the international patent application WO2008 / 132417. This arrangement has a relatively complex structure insofar as the inner end of the movable tubular part is connected to the outer end of the fixed tubular part by a rotary joint allowing rotation of the movable part between these resting positions and transfer.
L'invention a pour but de proposer un agencement d'une structure simplifiée mobile par l'évitement d'un tel joint tournant. Pour atteindre ce but, l'agencement de transfert selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que la partie tubulaire mobile est montée sur la structure du navire, pivotant entre ses positions de repos et de transfert, que les extrémités externe et interne des parties tabulaires fixe et mobile sont pourvues de connecteurs qui sont raccordés l'un à l'autre dans la position de transfert de la partie mobile, mais séparés dans la position de repos de celle-ci, et en ce que le connecteur de la partie fixe est situé sur l'arc de cercle du mouvement de pivotement du connecteur interne de la partie mobile de façon que les axes des orifices d'ouverture vers l'extérieur des deux connecteurs soient confondus dans la position de transfert de la partie mobile .The object of the invention is to propose an arrangement of a simplified mobile structure by the avoidance of such a rotary joint. To achieve this purpose, the transfer arrangement according to the invention is characterized in that the movable tubular portion is mounted on the ship structure, pivoting between its rest and transfer positions, that the outer and inner ends of the fixed and movable tabular parts are provided with connectors which are connected to each other in the transfer position of the movable part, but separated in the rest position thereof, and in that the connector of the fixed part is located on the arc of the pivoting movement of the inner connector of the movable part so that the axes of the opening apertures to the outside the two connectors are confused in the transfer position of the movable part.
Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, la partie mobile est pivotante autour d'un axe sensiblement vertical, les axes des orifices d'ouverture des connecteurs des parties tubulaires fixe et mobile étant orientés sensiblement horizontalement.According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, the mobile part is pivotable about a substantially vertical axis, the axes of the opening openings of the connectors of the fixed and movable tubular portions being oriented substantially horizontally.
Le système de transfert entre un premier navire de transport d'un fluide et un deuxième navire, qui sont placés côte à côte lors d'un transfert, est caractérisé en ce que le deuxième navire est équipé de 1 ' agencement de transfert selon l'invention.The transfer system between a first fluid transport vessel and a second vessel, which are placed side by side during a transfer, is characterized in that the second vessel is equipped with the transfer arrangement according to the present invention. invention.
L'invention sera mieux comprise, et d'autres buts, caractéristiques, détails et avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront plus clairement dans la description explicative qui va suivre faite en référence aux dessins schématiques annexés donnés uniquement à titre d'exemple illustrant un mode de réalisation de l'invention et dans lesquels : - la figure 1 est une vue de dessus d'un système de transfert d'un fluide entre un premier navire de stockage et un deuxième navire ; la figure 2 est une vue en perspective de la partie du système de transfert selon l'invention, qui est prévue sur le navire de stockage ; la figure 3 est une vue en perspective du deuxième navire et de l'agencement de transfert qui constitue la partie du système de transfert, qui est prévue sur ce deuxième navire ;The invention will be better understood, and other objects, features, details and advantages thereof will appear more clearly in the explanatory description which follows, with reference to the appended schematic drawings given solely by way of example, illustrating a mode of embodiment of the invention and in which: - Figure 1 is a top view of a system for transferring a fluid between a first storage vessel and a second vessel; Figure 2 is a perspective view of the portion of the transfer system according to the invention, which is provided on the storage vessel; FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the second ship and the transfer arrangement which is the part of the transfer system, which is provided on this second vessel;
- les figures 4 et 5 sont des vues en perspective de l'agencement de transfert prévu sur le deuxième navire et montre celui-ci dans ses positions respectivement de transfert d'un fluide et de repos ;- Figures 4 and 5 are perspective views of the transfer arrangement provided on the second vessel and shows it in its positions respectively transfer of a fluid and rest;
- la figure 6 est une vue en direction de l'axe longitudinal des deux navires et des agencements de transfert, qui sont prévus sur les deux navires ; - les figures 7 et 8 sont deux vues différentes, en perspective, de l'agencement de transfert du deuxième navire dans sa position de transfert ; la figure 9 est une vue en perspective de l'agencement de transfert du deuxième navire, montrant celui-ci dans sa position de repos ; les figures 10 à 13 montrent l'agencement de transfert prévu sur le navire de stockage, dans quatre phases différentes du processus de connexion du flexible à 1 ' agencement du deuxième navire . La figure 1 montre les deux navires placés côte à côte à une distance par exemple comprise entre 4,5 et 5 mètres, à savoir le premier navire 1, par exemple le navire de stockage, et un deuxième navire 2, par exemple une navette, chacun pourvu d'un équipement de transfert d'un fluide, tel que du gaz naturel liquéfié (LNG) . Dans l'exemple représenté, l'équipement de chaque navire comporte deux agencements de transfert, ceux du premier navire 1 étant désignés par la référence 4 , ceux du deuxième navire 2 sont référencés 5. Les deux parties d'agencement 4 et 5 coopérantes constituent un système de transfert selon l'invention.FIG. 6 is a view in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the two ships and the transfer arrangements, which are provided on the two vessels; - Figures 7 and 8 are two different views, in perspective, of the transfer arrangement of the second vessel in its transfer position; Figure 9 is a perspective view of the transfer arrangement of the second vessel, showing it in its rest position; Figures 10 to 13 show the transfer arrangement provided on the storage vessel, in four different phases of the hose connection process to the arrangement of the second vessel. FIG. 1 shows the two ships placed side by side at a distance for example between 4.5 and 5 meters, namely the first ship 1, for example the storage ship, and a second ship 2, for example a shuttle, each provided with fluid transfer equipment, such as liquefied natural gas (LNG). In the example shown, the equipment of each ship comprises two transfer arrangements, those of the first ship 1 being designated by the reference 4, those of the second vessel 2 are referenced 5. The two arrangement parts 4 and 5 cooperating constitute a transfer system according to the invention.
En se reportant à la figure 2, on constate qu'un agencement de transfert 4, selon l'invention, prévu sur le navire de stockage 1 comporte essentiellement une conduite de transfert souple principale 6 dont une extrémité est connectée au sommet d'une structure de tour 8 à une tuyauterie fixe 9 du navire. Les structures de tour 8 sont montées sur le navire à une distance relativement importante de part et d'autre de la partie centrale du navire qui comporte un dispositif de stockage en forme d'un râtelier incliné 11 d'un certain nombre de flexibles de plus faible longueur pour un transfert d'un fluide tel que du gaz naturel liquéfié, à un débit plus faible, et/ou du gaz froid de retour. A titre d'exemple les conduites sont formées par des flexibles cryogéniques conçus pour le transfert du gaz naturel liquéfié. Ces flexibles sont destinés à s'étendre entre les deux navires, dans leur position de transfert, perpendiculairement aux axes longitudinaux de ceux-ci. Le dispositif 11 ne faisant pas partie de la présente invention, il ne sera pas décrit ci-après. Les deux flexibles principaux 6 d'un diamètre plus important pour un transfert d'un fluide à un plus grand débit sont relativement longs pour pouvoir être connectés chacun à un agencement de transfert 5 prévu sur le deuxième navire 2 dans la partie centrale de celui-ci. En raison de leur longueur relativement importante, les flexibles 6 s'étendent sensiblement verticalement du sommet de leur structure de tour de support 8 vers le pont 13 du navire et reposent ensuite sur celui-ci, le long du bord jusqu'au niveau de la partie centrale où leur extrémité 14 est bloquée dans un dispositif de retenue approprié 15. Pour la manipulation de l'extrémité 14 configurée en embout de connexion et son transfert à 1 ' agencement 5 du deuxième navire 2 , 1 ' agencement 4 comporte, associé à chaque flexible 6, une grue 16 disposée entre la tour de support 8 et le dispositif de retenue 15, a une certaine distance appropriée de ce dernier. La grue est rotative autour d'un axe vertical et son bras 17 est susceptible de pivoter autour d'un axe horizontal, comme cela ressort des figures 10 à 13. L'embout 14 est suspendu à un câble 18 de la grue.Referring to FIG. 2, it can be seen that a transfer arrangement 4, according to the invention, provided on the storage vessel 1 essentially comprises a main flexible transfer line 6, one end of which is connected to the top of a structure turn 8 to a fixed piping 9 of the ship. The structures of 8 are mounted on the ship at a relatively large distance on either side of the central part of the ship which comprises a storage device in the form of an inclined rack 11 of a number of shorter length hoses for a transfer of a fluid such as liquefied natural gas, at a lower flow rate, and / or cold return gas. For example the pipes are formed by cryogenic hoses designed for the transfer of liquefied natural gas. These hoses are intended to extend between the two vessels, in their transfer position, perpendicular to the longitudinal axes thereof. Since the device 11 does not form part of the present invention, it will not be described hereinafter. The two main hoses 6 of greater diameter for a transfer of a fluid at a higher flow rate are relatively long so that they can each be connected to a transfer arrangement 5 provided on the second vessel 2 in the central portion thereof. this. Because of their relatively long length, the hoses 6 extend substantially vertically from the top of their support tower structure 8 to the deck 13 of the ship and then rest thereon, along the edge to the level of the central part where their end 14 is locked in a suitable retaining device 15. For the manipulation of the end 14 configured as a connection endpiece and its transfer to the arrangement 5 of the second vessel 2, the arrangement 4 comprises, associated with each hose 6, a crane 16 disposed between the support tower 8 and the retaining device 15, has a suitable distance from the latter. The crane is rotatable about a vertical axis and its arm 17 is pivotable about a horizontal axis, as is apparent from Figures 10 to 13. The tip 14 is suspended from a cable 18 of the crane.
L'agencement de transfert 5 prévu sur le deuxième navire 2, qui pourrait être une navette, comporte, pour la connexion de chaque flexible 6, un dispositif 19 de déport de la bride de raccordement du manifold de ce deuxième navire au moins jusqu'au bord de celui-ci et, comme dans le cas présent, au-delà de ce bord. Chaque dispositif de déport 19 comprend une partie tubulaire fixe 20 dont une extrémité est connectée à la bride du manifold tandis que l'autre extrémité porte une bride de raccordement 21, et une partie tubulaire 23 mobile entre une position de repos montrée aux figures 5 et 9 et une position de transfert montrée sur les figures 4 et 6 à 8. La partie fixe 20 est formée par un tube qui comprend plusieurs portions coudées pour que les extrémités libres en forme de brides de raccordement 21 soient placées de part et d'autre d'une plateforme 24 dans la partie centrale du navire. Chaque bride de raccordement 21 se trouve à l'extrémité d'une portion de tube qui s'étend perpendiculairement à la direction longitudinale du navire 2 de façon que 1 ' axe de sa bride soit orientée horizontalement et perpendiculairement à cette direction. La partie tubulaire mobile 23 est formée par un tronçon de tube dont une extrémité porte une bride 26 de raccordement à la bride de raccordement 21 de la partie tubulaire fixe 20 et dont l'autre extrémité porte un embout 28 de réception de l'embout de connexion 14 d'un flexible 6. Dans la position de transfert de la partie mobile 23, connectée à la partie fixe 20, l'embout de connexion 28 est disposé au-delà du bord 30 du navire, comme cela ressort clairement notamment des figures 6 et 8. L'embout 28 comprend essentiellement une bride 32 de de raccordement au flexible et, orientée parallèlement à l'axe de cette bride, une tige de centrage appelée pinoche 33. Dans sa position connectée à la partie fixe 20, de la partie mobile 21, l'axe de la bride 32 de raccordement à ou de réception du flexible et ainsi la pinoche 33 sont inclinés vers le bas dans un plan sensiblement vertical entre les bords des deux navires, en direction de 1 ' éloignement de la plateforme. De façon complémentaire, l'embout 14 de connexion au deuxième navire 2 de chaque flexible 6 comporte un connecteur 35 de raccordement au connecteur 32, un organe en forme de trompette de guidage de l'embout 36 dans sa position connectée à la bride 32 de réception du connecteur 35, et un treuil 37 autour duquel est enroulé un câble 38 de hissage de l'embout 35 du flexible à la bride de réception 32. Lors de l'établissement d'une liaison de transfert le câble de hissage est fixé à la pointe de la pinoche 33.The transfer arrangement 5 provided on the second vessel 2, which could be a shuttle, comprises, for the connection of each hose 6, a device 19 of offset manifold connecting flange of the second ship at least to the edge thereof and, as in this case, beyond this edge. Each offset device 19 comprises a fixed tubular portion 20, one end of which is connected to the flange of the manifold while the other end carries a connecting flange 21, and a tubular portion 23 movable between a rest position shown in FIGS. 9 and a transfer position shown in Figures 4 and 6 to 8. The fixed portion 20 is formed by a tube which comprises a plurality of bent portions so that the free ends in the form of connecting flanges 21 are placed on either side a platform 24 in the central part of the ship. Each connecting flange 21 is located at the end of a portion of tube which extends perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the ship 2 so that the axis of its flange is oriented horizontally and perpendicularly to this direction. The movable tubular portion 23 is formed by a tube section, one end of which carries a flange 26 for connection to the connecting flange 21 of the fixed tubular part 20 and the other end of which carries a tip 28 for receiving the end piece. connection 14 of a flexible hose 6. In the transfer position of the movable part 23, connected to the fixed part 20, the connecting piece 28 is disposed beyond the edge 30 of the ship, as is clearly apparent in particular from the figures 6 and 8. The end piece 28 essentially comprises a flange 32 for connecting the hose and, oriented parallel to the axis of this flange, a centering rod called pinch 33. In its position connected to the fixed part 20, of the mobile part 21, the axis of the flange 32 for connection to or reception of the hose and thus the pinch 33 are inclined downwards in a substantially vertical plane between the edges of the two vessels, in the direction of 1 'distance from the platform . In a complementary manner, the tip 14 connecting the second vessel 2 of each hose 6 comprises a connector 35 for connection to the connector 32, a trumpet-shaped member for guiding the tip 36 in its position connected to the flange 32 of receiving the connector 35, and a winch 37 around which is wound a cable 38 for hoisting the nozzle 35 of the hose to the receiving flange 32. When establishing a transfer link the hoisting cable is fixed to the tip of pinoche 33.
Le dispositif de support de la partie tubulaire mobile 23 est réalisé sous forme d'une tourelle 40 dont la partie supérieure 41 est montée rotative autour d'un axe sensiblement vertical, sur une partie inférieure 42 qui est solidaire du pont 44 du navire. La rotation se fait, dans l'exemple représenté, à l'aide d'un joint rotatif 45.The support device of the movable tubular portion 23 is formed as a turret 40, the upper portion 41 is rotatably mounted about a substantially vertical axis, on a lower portion 42 which is integral with the bridge 44 of the vessel. The rotation is, in the example shown, using a rotary joint 45.
Plus précisément, comme on le voit bien sur la figure 9, le tronçon de tube 23 comporte entre son segment 46 porteur de la bride 32, qui s'étend sensiblement horizontalement, et son segment porteur de la bride de connexion interne 26 s 'étendant également horizontalement, une section intermédiaire inclinée 48.More specifically, as can be seen in FIG. 9, the tube section 23 comprises between its segment 46 carrying the flange 32, which extends substantially horizontally, and its bearing segment of the internal connection flange 26 extending also horizontally, an inclined intermediate section 48.
Dans l'exemple représenté, le segment extérieur 46 est entouré et tenu par une pièce 50 en forme d'un manchon comportant deux pattes extérieures 51 qui s'étendent horizontalement et diamétralement à partir de la partie centrale cylindrique. Le tronçon de tube 23 est retenu par l'intermédiaire de la pièce 50 par une barre supérieure 53 fixée par une extrémité sur la partie centrale de la pièce 50 et par l'autre extrémité à la partie supérieure 54 de la partie rotative 41 de la tourelle 40, et par deux barres 56 et 57 fixées par une extrémité à la face inférieure d'une des pattes 51 et par l'autre extrémité à un taquet de fixation 58 prévu sur la partie inférieure cylindrique 59 de la partie rotative 41, la partie supérieure 60 présentant une forme conique se rétrécissant vers le haut. A la jonction des deux parties, la tourelle 40 porte une petite plateforme horizontale 62 au-dessus de laquelle sont disposés, à une certaine distance, les connecteurs 21 et 26 des parties tubulaires respectivement fixe 20 et mobile 23. Les barres de support 56 et 57 traversent la plateforme 62.In the example shown, the outer segment 46 is surrounded and held by a piece 50 in the form of a sleeve having two outer legs 51 which extend horizontally and diametrically from the central cylindrical portion. The section of tube 23 is retained via the piece 50 by an upper bar 53 fixed at one end to the central part of the piece 50 and at the other end to the upper part 54 of the rotating part 41 of the turret 40, and by two bars 56 and 57 fixed at one end to the underside of one of the lugs 51 and at the other end to a fixing lug 58 provided on the cylindrical lower portion 59 of the rotary portion 41, the upper portion 60 having a conical shape narrowing up. At the junction of the two parts, the turret 40 carries a small horizontal platform 62 above which are arranged, at a distance, the connectors 21 and 26 of the tubular portions respectively fixed 20 and movable 23. The support bars 56 and 57 cross platform 62.
Grâce à la configuration du tronçon mobile 23 et sa fixation à la tourelle 40, par l'intermédiaire des trois barres de support 53, 56 et 57, ce tronçon, lors de la rotation de la partie 41 de la tourelle 40, pivote autour de l'axe vertical de la partie 41 de façon que son connecteur interne 26 se déplace sur une trajectoire en forme d'un arc de cercle sur lequel se trouve le connecteur 21 de la partie tubulaire 20, afin qu'à leur rencontre, lors de l'établissement des conditions de transfert d'un fluide, les axes des deux connecteurs 21 et 26 soient confondus pour que les connecteurs puissent être raccordés l'un à l'autre. Ainsi le mouvement de la partie tubulaire mobile 21 entre ses positions de repos et de transfert se fait sans intervention d'aucun joint rotatif. C'est l'absence d'un tel joint rotatif qui permet la réalisation de l'agencement de transfert du deuxième navire sous forme d'une structure très simple sans aucun joint rotatif dans la voie d'écoulement du fluide en provenance du premier navire de stockage.Thanks to the configuration of the movable section 23 and its attachment to the turret 40, by means of the three support bars 53, 56 and 57, this section, during the rotation of the portion 41 of the turret 40, pivots around the vertical axis of the portion 41 so that its inner connector 26 moves on a trajectory in the form of a circular arc on which is the connector 21 of the tubular portion 20, so that when they meet, when establishing the transfer conditions of a fluid, the axes of the two connectors 21 and 26 are merged so that the connectors can be connected to one another. Thus the movement of the movable tubular portion 21 between its rest and transfer positions is done without intervention of any rotary joint. It is the absence of such a rotary joint that allows the realization of the transfer arrangement of the second ship in the form of a very simple structure without any rotary joint in the flow path of the fluid from the first vessel storage.
En se référant notamment aux figures 10 à 13 on décrira ci-après brièvement le processus d'établissement d'une liaison de transfert d'un fluide entre les deux navires 1 et 2. Comme le montre la figure 10, dans sa position de repos sur le premier navire de stockage 1, chaque flexible 6 repose par une grande partie de sa longueur sur le pont 13 du navire. Pour l'établissement d'une liaison de transfert d'un fluide, par connexion de l'embout 14 de celui-ci à l'embout de connexion correspondant 28 du deuxième navire, on soulève tout d'abord, comme le montre notamment la figure 11, l'embout 14 au moyen de sa grue de manipulation 16, à l'aide d'un câble 18, le câble de hissage 38 étant en partie déroulé de son treuil 37. Après la fixation de l'extrémité libre du câble de hissage à la pointe de la pinoche 32, l'embout 14 est tiré vers l'embout de connexion 28 du navire, comme le montre les figures 12 et 13, la trompette 36 de l'embout 14 s 'engageant alors sur la pinoche 33 dans la dernière phase de la connexion pour que le connecteur 35 de cet embout soit guidé correctement vers la bride 32 de l'embout récepteur 28. II est à noter que sur les figures 12 et 13 seulement l'embout récepteur 28 est représenté pour faciliter la compréhension du processus d'établissement de la liaison de transfert.Referring in particular to Figures 10 to 13 will be briefly described below the process of establishing a transfer connection of a fluid between the two vessels 1 and 2. As shown in Figure 10, in its rest position on the first storage vessel 1, each hose 6 rests for much of its length on the deck 13 of the ship. For the establishment of a transfer connection of a fluid, by connecting the tip 14 thereof to the corresponding connecting piece 28 of the second vessel, is first raised, as shown in particular the FIG. 11, the end piece 14 by means of its handling crane 16, with the help of a cable 18, the hauling cable 38 being partly unrolled from its winch 37. After fixing the free end of the hauling cable to the tip of the pinch 32, the tip 14 is pulled towards the connection tip 28 of the ship, as shown in Figures 12 and 13, the trumpet 36 of the nozzle 14 then engages the pinch 33 in the last phase of the connection so that the connector 35 of this tip is guided correctly to the flange 32 of the receiving tip 28. It should be noted that in FIGS. 12 and 13 only the receiving tip 28 is shown to facilitate understanding of the process of establishing the transfer link.
On constate que, dans la position de transfert, le flexible 6 connecté au deuxième navire 2 s'étend en chainette entre les deux navires dans un plan vertical sensiblement parallèle aux directions longitudinales des deux navires. Il est à noter que, pendant tout le processus de connexion du flexible au deuxième navire, celui-ci s'étend librement entre ses deux extrémités, ce qui réduit au minimum les contraintes mécaniques pouvant s'exercer sur le flexible.It is found that, in the transfer position, the hose 6 connected to the second vessel 2 extends in a chain between the two vessels in a vertical plane substantially parallel to the longitudinal directions of the two vessels. It should be noted that throughout the process of connecting the hose to the second vessel, it extends freely between its two ends, which minimizes the mechanical stresses that can be exerted on the hose.
Bien entendu, la mise en œuvre du mouvement de pivotement de la partie tubulaire mobile du dispositif de déport du manifold avantageusement au-delà du bord du navire, qui vient d'être décrite et est représentée sur les figures n'a été donnée qu'à titre d'exemple et des modifications peuvent être faites sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. Ainsi, la configuration du tourillon de support de la partie mobile ainsi que sa fixation sur ce tourillon de support peuvent être modifiées de multiple manières . Of course, the implementation of the pivoting movement of the movable tubular portion of the manifold offset device advantageously beyond the edge of the vessel, which has just been described and is shown in the figures has only been given by way of example and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the invention. Thus, the configuration of the support pin of the movable part and its attachment to this support pin can be modified in multiple ways.
