Abstract

See full text

A cryogenic pump for liquefied gases is provided, which shortens precooling time, has a small loss of cryogenic liquefied gas, excels in pump efficiency, and is advantageous in cost. A motor 1 and an impeller 2 are coupled by a shaft 3 for transmitting a rotative drive force therebetween, and the motor 1 is arranged on an upper side and the impeller 2 is arranged on a lower side. The motor 1 and the impeller 2 exist in an enclosed space 14 where they are communicated with each other and into which the cryogenic liquefied gas is introduced. A heat adjusting unit 11 is provided between the motor 1 and the impeller 2, the heat adjusting unit maintaining existence of the impeller 2 in a liquid phase of the cryogenic liquefied gas and maintaining existence of the motor 1 in a gas phase of the cryogenic liquefied gas. Thus the submerging of the motor 1 in the liquid becomes unnecessary, whereby the precooling time can be reduced remarkably and the loss of cryogenic liquefied gas due to vaporization caused by the submerging can be reduced, and in addition, the motor 1 itself can be configured at a comparatively low cost.
