Abstract
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plays a crucial role in various industrial sectors, and it is becoming increasingly important in the energy transition towards a more sustainable economy. Its combustion produces lower emissions of greenhouse gases and pollutants compared to conventional fossil fuels, additionally, LNG offers flexibility and versatility in supply and transportation, particularly in the maritime sector. LNG is a cryogenic liquid (-162°C) composed mainly of methane and is favored because emissions of atmospheric pollutants such as sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and particulates are significantly lower compared to traditional marine engines that burn fuel oil or marine diesel oil. Consequently, LNG-fueled ships are gaining popularity due to their environmental and economic benefits.
In this context the importance of cryogenic pumps is emphasized, these pumps are designed to operate at extremely low temperatures and are essential for handling LNG on board these vessels
