Abstract

The present invention relates to a device for transmitting fluid from a subsea producing module (8) to a subsea receiving module (9) comprising a choke valve (3) in a main flowpath (7) of the fluid. A bypass line (2) is arranged in parallel to the choke valve (3) and the bypass line (2) is connected to the main flowpath (7) by a bypass connection (1).
