Abstract: A system for determining the location of a movable element within a container is provided in which a linear variable differential transformer (“LVDT”) is formed with the container and the movable element therein. The LVDT includes a coil assembly including a primary or excitation winding, a secondary or output winding, and a movable element or core that is magnetically permeable. Measurement of an output signals allows for precise determination of the movable element location relative to the container. The system can be utilized to determine fluid volumes in accumulators used for controlling subsea equipment by monitoring the location of a movable element, e.g., a piston, within a hydraulic fluid accumulator.

Abstract: A system for remotely controlling an undersea device. The system employs a gas-pressurized liquid reservoir that can be recharged from at least one replaceable gas bottle. A pressure-regulating valve is employed to control the pressure of the liquid leaving the reservoir. A number of one-shot units, each in the form of a squib-actuated valve coupled with a piston accumulator, are employed to create a hydraulic pilot for a hydraulic direction control valve. The control valve functions to direct pressurized liquid from the reservoir to a hydraulic actuator or other type of hydraulic device.

Abstract: Pressure of a gas in a gas accumulator coupled to a fluid circuit is measured in a system involving separating gas from pressure fluid in a gas accumulator by a separating element, measuring pressure of the pressure fluid with a pressure detector coupled to the gas accumulator when the separating element is in a preadjustable position having a gas pressure assignable to it, detecting the preadjustable position by a monitor coupled to the pressure detector, and initiating measurement of the fluid pressure upon detection of the separating element in the preadjustable position.
