ABSTRACT:
The compressor-evaporator system for liquefied gas contained in a tank comprises, in addition to a deice for evaporation by heat exchange with a liquid and devices for conditioning and transferring gas to a pipeline, a motor-driven turbopump comprising a rotary assembly of high bending stiffness on a common shaft line, with at least one high pressure pump, a turbine, and a central electrical machine capable of being used in motor mode or in generator mode. The rotary assembly of the motor-driven turbopump is adapted to present a high speed of rotation, greater than 12,000 rpm, while remaining outside ranges for exciting critical speeds in rotation. All of the internal portions of the motor-driven turbopump are immersed in a cryogenic fluid that is the same as the liquefied gas contained in the tank. The internal cavities of the motor-driven turbopump that are under different thermodynamic conditions are separated by contactless dynamic seals. Electronic power circuits connected to an electricity network control the central electrical machine in motor mode or generator mode.
