| 摘要 | A pipe-in-pipe bulkhead assembly has inner and outer rings spaced in concentric relation to define a thermally-isolating gap in the annulus between them. Interlocking formations project into the annulus from each of the rings, presenting confronting faces where they overlap radially. The gap extends between the longitudinally-spaced faces. A thermally-insulating spacer is interposed between the faces in the gap to carry axial mechanical loads between the inner and outer rings. Heating elements outside the inner ring extend longitudinally beyond the gap between the faces and along a longitudinal passageway that passes through or beside an interlocking formation of the inner ring. The spacer may be positioned before or after the outer ring is placed, for example as a discrete element or as an injected mass. An additional sealing mass may also be positioned in the annulus, for example by injection, to promote a gas-tight seal. | ||||||
