SYSTEM, APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR MONITORING A SUBSEA FLOW DEVICE |
| 摘要 |
A system, apparatus, and method are provided for monitoring a subsea flow device such as a subsea flowline. The apparatus generally includes a thermoelectric device that is adapted to generate electric power from a thermal potential between the subsea flow device and the surrounding seawater. A sensor that is powered by the thermoelectric device is adapted to monitor one or more characteristics of the flow device, such as temperature or strain, and provide a communication that is indicative of the characteristic. The communication may be a radiation output or an acoustic output. |

1. An apparatus for monitoring a subsea flow device, the apparatus comprising:
a thermoelectric device adapted to generate electric power from a thermal potential between the subsea flow device and surrounding seawater; a sensor powered by the thermoelectric device and adapted to monitor a characteristic of the flow device and an acoustic device to provide an acoustic output that is indicative of the characteristic. |
