Case studies
Our customer had a short timescale to supply eight cooling skids for a drag brake on a Pipe Laying Ship. The cooling systems had to have a high heat dissipation with a large air blast cooler. The system was to be stand alone with the electrical panel and all components mounted in a marine transportable frame.
Contract type: Purchase order
Value: £420,000
Torishima designed, manufactured, tested, and dispatched all eight units within the 5 weeks delivery timescale. The frames were made of steel and were coated to withstand the marine environment. They were also load tested. The system comprised of a large stainless-steel reservoir, centrifugal pump, air blast cooler and electrical control panel. The reservoir was fitted with a heater, temperature switches and a level switch. A pressure switch was fitted to the unit’s outlet pipework to ensure fluid was at a pressure that would give sufficient flow to the drag brake. The pipework was stainless steel and was lagged against the cold weather. Hoses were supplied for onsite connection to the Drag Brakes.
To design and manufacture a hydraulic power unit in a DNV type frame with an axial piston type pump to vary supply pressure and a stainless steel reservoir. Also to design and supply a powered reeler for 100 m of hydraulic hoses and electrical cables.
Contract type: Purchase order
Value: £80,000
The hydraulic power unit and reeler were designed using 3D CAD software, with the strength of materials also being simulated. The pump was a pressure compensated axial piston pump with remote pressure control. A bespoke manifold was fitted with a filter and pressure relief valves so that the pump pressure could be varied. The reservoir was made of 316 stainless steel and was fitted with a return filter and level/temperature switches. A small air blast cooler was fitted to the return line. An electrical control panel was fitted with controls for the hydraulic power unit and external control capability from a PLC. The reeler was designed to hold 100 m of pressure, return hose and wire. It was powered by hydraulic and a lever operated valve controlled the direction and speed. Supply to the hydraulic hoses was through the central drive shaft, fitted with rotary couplings. The electrics were also supplied by a rotary coupling.
