Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009074770A1] A subsea containment vessel includes a heat sink assembly comprising a cage comprising a plurality of pillars (2) and between at least one pair of adjacent pillars a heat sink in the form of an interface plate (3) having an outer surface for engagement with the containment vessel. The plate has lateral faces each of which has a slanted profile for sliding movement relative to a complementary profile on an adjacent side face of a pillar. The profiles may comprise a rail (6) on a lateral face of the plate and a corresponding slot (7) in an adjacent side face of a pillar (2). Any suitable means may be employed to provide a tensile or compressive force for moving the interface plate into close contact with the vessel. They may include a threaded tumbuckle, a hydraulic piston or a clamp which might be manual and may be self-locking.
