Abstract
Apparatus for thermal management of a hydrocarbon fluid transport system, the apparatus comprising means adapted to maintain the temperature of hydro-carbon fluid in the transport system at a temperature above the temperature at which hydrocarbon hydrates will form. Heat loss between a valve body (1) and its actuator (11) can be reduced by insulating the stem (13) connecting them. A trap (65) for warm water can be used around a pipeline to reduce heat loss due to convection. A pump or compressor can be thermally connected to bypass line so as to be effectively thermally one unit.
