Abstract

A centrifugal cryogenic pump has been designed at Argonne National Laboratory to circulate liquid nitrogen (LN₂) in a closed circuit allowing the recovery of excess fluid. The pump can circulate LN₂ at rates of 2-10 L/min, into a head of 0.5-3 m. Over four years of laboratory use the pump has proven capable of operating continuously for 50-100 days without maintenance.
