Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021219950A1] The invention relates to a system (1) for transferring gas in liquid form (31) between two units for gas in liquid form, comprising a main pipe (6) configured to transfer the gas in liquid form (31) from a source tank (4) of a source unit (2) for gas in liquid form to a receiving tank (5) of a receiving unit (3) for gas in liquid form, the main pipe (6) comprising a first portion (7) and a second flexible portion (8), characterised in that the transfer system (1) comprises a return pipe (18) configured to convey the gas in liquid form (31) present in the main pipe (6) to the source tank (4), the transfer system (1) draining the gas in liquid form (31) by force of gravity.
