In at least one embodiment, the liquid circulation system comprises

Tank, liquid circulation system and operating method

An arrangement for an overvoltage protection of a subsea electrical apparatus and a method for operating it. The arrangement includes a tank submersible below a water surface level, an electrical apparatus accommodated in the tank, and a surge arrester arrangement accommodated in the tank and coupled to a power supply of the electrical apparatus in the tank for providing the overvoltage protection of the electrical apparatus. The arrangement further includes a controllable grounding switch for connecting the surge arrester arrangement to a ground point in response to a control of the grounding switch to a closed state and for disconnecting the surge arrester arrangement from the ground point in response to a control of the grounding switch to an open state.

Arrangement for overvoltage protection of subsea electrical apparatus

A heat exchanging arrangement for a subsea electronic system, the heat exchanging arrangement including: at least one pipe having an external surface; and at least one heat exchanging element arranged inside the at least one pipe and defining at least one internal passage for conducting a dielectric fluid through the at least one pipe; wherein the at least one heat exchanging element is arranged to press laterally outwards against an internal surface of the at least one pipe to establish a heat transfer bond between the at least one heat exchanging element and the at least one pipe. A subsea electronic system including the heat exchanging arrangement is also provided.

Heat exchanging arrangement and subsea electronic system

A pressure compensator is disclosed for a subsea electric installation, which includes a rigid bottle and a flexible bag placed in the rigid bottle, the pressure compensator including a first opening at a first end of the pressure compensator allowing fluid communication of an insulating medium arranged to intermediate space between the rigid bottle and the flexible bag, a second opening at a second end of the pressure compensator allowing fluid communication of seawater arranged within the flexible bag; and a bypass channel providing fluid communication between two points in the intermediate space of the pressure compensator.

Pressure compensator

A pressure compensator is configured to compensate for volume variations of an insulation medium of a subsea installation. The pressure compensator includes a first bellows chamber having walls and a first bellows part. The first bellows chamber is in flow connection with an insulation medium chamber of the subsea installation, and the walls of the first bellows chamber are configured to separate the insulating medium from surroundings. The first bellows chamber is surrounded by a second bellows chamber having walls and a second bellows part. The second bellows chamber is configured to form a closed intermediate space around the first bellows chamber. The walls of the second bellows chamber are configured to separate at least the bellows parts of the first bellows chamber from the surrounding sea water. The second bellows chamber is further filled with an intermediate medium.
