Temperature gauge for an accumulator nitrogen tank apparatus, system, and method

Abstract

A temperature sensor system for a nitrogen tank with a subsea blowout preventer that monitors temperature of the nitrogen in the tank. It is also contemplated to remove rupture discs and utilize a relief valve, which may be assembled with the temperature sensor system.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A subsea piston nitrogen accumulator temperature and pressure system comprising:
 a subsea nitrogen bottle having an interior, an exterior, and a conduit between said interior and said exterior;   a temperature gauge in communication with a sea surface;   a pressure gauge in communication with said sea surface; and   wherein said temperature gauge and said pressure gauge are in communication with said interior of said nitrogen bottle via said conduit and adapted to read a temperature and a pressure of said interior of said nitrogen bottle and communicate said temperature and said pressure to said sea surface.
