Abstract
A subsea heat exchanger is disclosed that includes a production fluid inlet, a production fluid outlet, and first and second heat exchanger units coupled to the inlet and outlet. Each heat exchanger unit includes an outer tubular member, an inner tubular member disposed within the outer tubular member, and an annulus radially disposed between the inner tubular member and the outer tubular member. In addition, each heat exchanger unit includes a bridging assembly coupled between the first heat exchanger unit and the second heat exchanger unit. The bridging assembly includes a connector including a throughbore in communication with the inner tubular member of the first heat exchanger unit and the inner tubular member of the second heat exchanger unit. In addition, the bridging assembly includes a tubular stab that fluidly couples the annulus of the first heat exchanger unit to the annulus of the second heat exchanger unit.
