Thermally insulated transfer line with coupling element

A thermally insulated transfer line for a fluid, the thermally insulated transfer line comprising:

• a process line for conduction of the fluid;
• an insulation envelope lying radially outside the process line and extending in a longitudinal direction of the process line;
• an insulation space arranged between the process line and the insulation envelope;
• a coupling element provided at both ends of the thermally insulated transfer line, to connect the transfer line to a cryogenic tank, the coupling element being operable to attach the process line to a tank process line of the cryogenic tank and thereby establish a fluid-conductive connection between the process line and the tank process line, the coupling element comprising:
• an end piece, wherein the insulation envelope transforms into the end piece,
• a connecting sleeve arranged concentric to and radially on an outside of the end piece so as to be attached to the end piece,
• a sliding coupling sleeve operable to connect the connecting sleeve to the cryogenic tank;
• a protective envelope, formed as a cylinder casing, that extends along and radially outside of the insulation envelope;
• and
• a damping material arranged, at least in portions, between the protective envelope and the insulation envelope.
