System
Description
The
system is designed to give optimum cooling of the fresh water
that circulates in the brake and top drive system. The design
uses highly efficient plate heat exchangers with corrosion-resistant
titanium plates to provide the cooling effect between seawater
and fresh water from the brake system. The package is built
to a rugged offshore design and is provided with all necessary
pumps, valves, instruments and a reservoir tank. Standby pumps
and plate heat exchangers can be provided to give a 100% duty/standby
facility. Additionally, the design can be tailor-made to suit
any specific rig layout. The system can also incorporate an
additional top drive booster pump, to give the required head
of pressure to cool the top drive unit.
