Pressure cap assembly installation and removal system
The patent US12044089B2 describes a sophisticated system designed for the installation and removal of a pressure cap assembly within a hydrocarbon system. The system includes a running tool equipped with a carrier featuring an axial drive, an arm, and a tool engagement bracket. This bracket is specifically designed to couple with a pressure cap assembly that includes a clamp assembly. The running tool facilitates movement along an axial path, allowing for the installation or removal of the pressure cap assembly between two fluid systems that are removably coupled. The design ensures that the pressure cap assembly can be manipulated effectively within a designated window between the fluid systems, enhancing operational efficiency.
Additionally, the system incorporates various features to ensure secure engagement and alignment during operation. The tool engagement bracket includes a tool lock assembly for a secure connection to the pressure cap assembly, while alignment guides facilitate proper coupling with the fluid systems. The pressure cap assembly itself consists of a clamp assembly with multiple segments, driven by a torque tool assembly that allows for precise adjustments. The system's configuration enables the coupling and uncoupling of the fluid systems while the pressure cap assembly is in place, providing flexibility and ease of use in hydrocarbon applications. Overall, this patent presents a comprehensive solution for managing pressure cap assemblies in complex fluid systems.
