Balanced Heave Compensation
Balanced heave compensation (BHC) is a heave compensation technology engaging the principle of a balanced-arm lamp for offshore Motion compensator, motion compensation. Working principle The technical working principle can be summarized as converting the non-linear force of a gas spring or Hydropneumatic device, hydro-pneumatic spring into an adjustable, substantially linear force, by several mechanical measures. The technology comprises a series of patented inventions by NHLO licensed to and marketed by Seaqualize. An active balanced heave compensation (ABHC) system adds an active component to a BHC for even further stabilisation of the mass. Research project In cooperation with IHC and research partners Maritime Research Institute Netherlands, MARIN and Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands, ECN, a scale model of a first device comprising the technology, an offshore access bridge has been tested. Seaqualize is currently working on a full-scale prototype of the access bri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Heave Compensation
Heave compensation is motion compensator technology applied to minimizing the vertical movement of a load supported by lifting gear mounted on a Heave (translational motion), heaving platform. Techniques include active heave compensation and passive heave compensation—the two traditional types of heave compensation—as well as balanced heave compensation. Devices that perform heave compensation are known as heave compensators. Description Heave compensation is Motion compensator, move compensator technology used to minimize the movement of a load in one direction. This direction is often vertical, as for a load supported by lifting gear mounted on a Heave (translational motion), heaving platform. In offshore drilling, heave compensation is used to reduce the impact on the drill system from motions, including those of Wind wave, waves and the vessel. Types There are two traditional basic types of heave compensation are active heave compensation and passive heave compensatio ...
