System and Method for Transferring Temperature Sensitive Fluids

A transfer system for transferring temperature sensitive fluids from a supply tank to a receiver tank, wherein the supply tank and the receiver tank are fluidly connected by a piping arrangement, said piping arrangement comprising:

• at least two thermally insulated transfer lines;
• and
• first and second piping assemblies associated with the receiver and the supply tank, respectively, wherein one end of each transfer line is connected with one of the supply and receiver tank and the other end of each transfer line is provided with a coupling for coupling the other end with the other one of the supply and receiver tank,
• wherein the transfer system is selectively operable in a transfer mode and an idle mode by appropriately coupling and decoupling the first and second transfer lines,
• wherein, in the transfer mode, the first and the second transfer lines fluidly connect the supply tank with the receiver tank, such that fluid flows through the first and second transfer lines and the first and second pipe assemblies, and in that, in the idle mode, the first and second transfer lines form a closed loop enabling a continuous flow of fluid through the first and second transfer lines, and in that the first and the second pipe assemblies are part of the closed loop enabling a continuous flow of fluid through the first and the second pipe assemblies.
