Abstract
The present invention relates to a technique of preventing idling rotation of a submersible pump used for delivering liquefied gas, such as liquefied ammonia, liquid hydrogen, liquid nitrogen, liquefied natural gas, liquefied ethylene gas, or liquefied petroleum gas. A fluid-path switching apparatus (5) includes: a flow-passage structure (45) having a first flow passage (41), a second flow passage (42), and a third flow passage (43); and a valve element (47) for allowing the third flow passage (43) to selectively communicate with the first flow passage (41) or the second flow passage (42). The first flow passage (41) communicates with a discharge outlet (1b) of the submersible pump (1), the second flow passage (42) communicates with an interior of the suction vessel (2), and the third flow passage (43) communicates with a discharge port (8) of the suction vessel (2).
