Abstract:
An in situ retrofit assembly for a top entry valve includes an annular conduit ( 100 ) configured to conform with a seat support ( 106 ) at the distal end ( 207 ) and a valve body extension ( 208 ) with an interior annular region ( 301 ). The valve body extension ( 208 ) comprises an inlet port ( 209 ) fluidically connected to the annular area ( 301 ). A gland packing push plate ( 211 ) is configured to allow the annular conduit ( 100 ) to pass through thereby forming an outlet port ( 212 ). This allows the removal of a portion of the fluid from the cold box for downstream processing or manipulation as desired.

Claim (Index 1):
An in situ retrofit assembly for a top entry valve, comprising:\n a top entry valve body ( 100 ), comprising a bonnet ( 101 ), stem ( 102 ), seat ring ( 104 ), seat support ( 106 ), and plug ( 103 ), wherein the bonnet ( 101 ), stem ( 102 ), seat ring ( 104 ), and plug ( 103 ) have been removed in situ, an annular conduit ( 201 ) with a proximal end ( 204 ), a distal end ( 207 ), and an exterior surface disposed longitudinally within the top entry valve body ( 100 ) and configured such that the exterior surface of the distal end ( 207 ) forms a fluid tight seal with the seat support ( 106 ), a valve body extension ( 208 ) configured to attach to the top entry valve body ( 100 ) concentric with the annular conduit ( 201 ), wherein the valve body extension ( 208 ) comprises an annular region ( 301 ), an inlet port ( 209 ) fluidically connected to the annular area ( 301 ), and a gland packing ( 210 ) configured to seal against the proximal end ( 204 ) of the annular conduit ( 201 ), a gland packing push plate ( 211 ) configured to allow the proximal end ( 204 ) of the annular conduit ( 201 ) to pass through thereby forming an outlet port ( 212 ), the gland packing push plate ( 211 ) configured to form a fluid tight seal with the gland packing ( 210 ).
