RAPID RELEASE EMERGENCY DISCONNECT SYSTEM UTILIZING A RADIAL CLAMP CONNECTOR

摘要

In various embodiments, fluid conduits such as high pressure hoses deployed in-between two sea-fairing vessels may be released during an emergency by using a rapid release emergency disconnect system as described herein, where the rapid release emergency disconnect system may engage with a hanger such as an industry standard frac hanger and be used in-line with fluid conduits such as high-pressure lines. Various skid embodiments are described which can be configured to interface with one or more of the described rapid release emergency disconnect systems.

主权项

1. An emergency quick disconnect system, comprising:
a. a check valve comprising a first fluid interface and a second fluid interface in fluid communication with the first fluid interface, the check valve configured to stop flow of a fluid between the first fluid interface and the second fluid interface when fluid pressure of a fluid present in the check valve falls below a predetermined level; b. a connector disposed downstream of and in fluid communication with the check valve, the connector comprising a third fluid interface and a fourth fluid interface in fluid communication with the third fluid interface, the connector connected to and operatively in fluid communication with the check valve; c. a drop away assembly, comprising:
i. a control valve in fluid communication with the connector, the control valve configured to be in fluid communication with a fluid conduit; andii. a hose end connector connected to the control valve; and d. a connector interface configured to receive the connector, the connector interface configured to be removably accepted into a hanger and support the connector and the drop away assembly when the connector interface is received into the hanger.
