Abstract:
This document describes a mobile heave compensator ( 100 ) provided with an attachment device ( 15 ) for suspending the compensator from a load bearing device ( 102 ) and an attachment device ( 14 ) for carrying a payload ( 101 ). The compensator comprises a passive heave compensation part and possibly an active heave compensation part, and being associated with a sensor arrangement producing input signals for a control unit and a power source ( 71 ). The compensator ( 100 ) incorporates a gas pump and/or motor device ( 70 ), affecting the passive heave compensating part, producing output signal(s) to the gas pump device ( 70 ), based on input signals received from the sensor arrangement, to enable flow of gas towards a volume with a higher pressure.

Claim (Index 5):
Mobile heave compensator according to  claim 4  further comprising:\n an actuator, consisting of a first cylinder having an upper end and a lower end; \n a first connection means mounted at the upper end of the first cylinder and adapted for connecting the first cylinder to one of: a vessel at the sea surface and a payload; \n a first piston located within the first cylinder and adapted for reciprocation with respect thereto; \n a piston rod connected to the first piston and extending downwardly therefrom through the lower end of the first cylinder; \n a second connection means adapted for securing the first piston rod to the vessel at the sea surface or a payload and located at the lower end of the first cylinder; \n a first volume (V 1 ), filled with hydraulic fluid, contained within the first cylinder between the first piston and the lower end of the first cylinder; \n a second volume (V 2 ), filled with either hydraulic fluid or gas (at any pressure including zero pressure\u2014mobile heave compensator), contained within the first cylinder between the first piston and the upper end of the first cylinder; \n a first gas accumulator, consisting of a second cylinder having an upper end and a lower end; \n a second piston located within the second cylinder and adapted for reciprocation with respect thereto; \n a third volume (V 3 ), filled with hydraulic fluid, contained within the second cylinder between the second piston and the lower end of the second cylinder; \n a forth volume (V 4 ), filled with gas (at any pressure including zero pressure) contained within the second cylinder between the second piston and the upper end of the second cylinder; \n a conduit means operably connecting the first volume (V 1 ) to the third volume (V 3 ); \n a mean or a valve (VC 1 ) adapted for transport of gas/for gas transportation connected to the fourth volume (V 4 ) of the second cylinder and enabling pressure reduction in the second cylinder by expelling gas to one of the surroundings or an additional container or cylinder; \n a sensing arrangement adapted for measuring the position of at least one of: the first piston and the piston rod, relative to at least one of: the lower and upper ends of the first cylinder.
