A centrifugal cryogenic pump has been designed at Argonne National Laboratory to circulate liquid nitrogen (LN 2 ) in a closed circuit allowing the recovery of excess fluid. The pump can circulate LN 2 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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
