Abstract: A method of transferring a liquefied gas under pressure contained in a container into a tank or a gas transport network. The container is connected to a recirculation circuit that includes a heater and a recirculation pump connected in series with the heater, upstream from the heater, and arranged to discharge liquefied gas taken from the bottom of the container into the heater, the method including connecting the container to the tank or to the network, via a circuit for transferring the liquefied gas in the liquid phase and not having a pump; allowing the liquefied gas to be transferred to the tank or to the network via the transfer circuit under the effect of a higher pressure in the container; and operating the pump to compensate for the reduction in pressure inside the container during transfer.

Abstract: A pump for transferring liquefied gas, including a pump body and a wheel having blades rotatably mounted inside the pump body, the pump has magnets arranged at the periphery of the wheel, the pump further including a field winding arranged to drive the wheel in rotation with the magnets.
