Vacuum Insulated Cryogenic Pump Sump for LNG Submerged Pumps
Product Overview
The vacuum insulated cryogenic pump sump is a specialized cryogenic pressure vessel designed to provide an optimal operating environment for cryogenic submerged pumps.
The pump pit incorporates several specialized design details to ensure optimal operating conditions for the submerged pump. These innovations enable the pump to operate efficiently throughout its rated service life, ensuring stable output flow and high discharge head. (Several design aspects have been patented for these advancements.)
It adopts high-vacuum multilayer and multi-shield insulation technology, ensuring excellent thermal performance, stable operation, and long service life.
With a compact structure and reliable performance, the pump sump plays a critical role in reducing heat ingress and maintaining the efficiency of LNG submerged pumping systems.


Applications
LNG liquefaction plants
LNG receiving terminals
LNG fueling stations
Cryogenic liquid transfer systems
