Abstract

A cryogenic liquefied pump system which includes a pump having a drive motor, bearings, a drive shaft, and an impeller adapted to be disposed in a vessel storing a cryogenic liquid. An outer insulating tank is mounted in the vessel and an inner insulating tank is mounted inside the outer insulating tank, with a vacuum layer being interposed between the inner and outer insulating tanks. An inner side of the inner insulated tank, in which the motor and bearings are arranged, is maintained at a room temperature, with a tip portion of the inner insulating tank being formed into an outer case extending into a cryogenic region outside of the outer insulated tank.
