Abstract:
A horizontal connection system including: a first holding unit, to which a first hub is fixed; a second holding unit, to which a second hub is fixed; a heat bank including a casing with a rear part secured to the first holding unit and a front part releasably connectable to the rear part; and a clamp connector secured to the first holding unit and received inside the heat bank. The parts of the casing are temporarily fixed to each other by connecting members extending between the parts on the outside thereof. The front part of the casing is provided with fastening members configured to come into engagement with associated fastening members on the second holding unit, to thereby allow the front part to be secured to the second holding unit, when the front part and the second holding unit are brought into contact with each other.

Claim (Index 1):
A horizontal connection system for subsea connection of a first hub arranged at an end of a first tubular member to a second hub arranged at an end of a second tubular member, the horizontal connection system comprising:\n a first holding unit, wherein the first hub is fixed to this first holding unit; a second holding unit, wherein the second hub is fixed to this second holding unit; a clamp connector for connecting and securing the first hub to the second hub, the clamp connector being secured to the first holding unit; and a heat bank for thermally insulating the clamp connector from ambient cold sea water, the heat bank comprising a casing which encloses an internal fluid chamber, wherein this fluid chamber is configured to accommodate a fluid having heat-storing capacity, and wherein the clamp connector is to be received in the fluid chamber with the fluid surrounding the clamp connector, the casing comprising a rear part which is secured to the first holding unit and a front part which is releasably connectable to the rear part, wherein:\n the front part of the casing is configured to be temporarily fixed to the rear part of the casing by means of connecting members extending between the front part and the rear part on the outside thereof; and \n the front part of the casing is provided with fastening members which are configured to come into engagement with associated fastening members on the second holding unit, to thereby allow the front part to be secured to the second holding unit, when the front part and the second holding unit are brought into contact with each other by an axial movement of the front part towards the second holding unit together with the rear part of the casing and the first holding unit or by an axial movement of the second holding unit towards the front part of the casing.
