A pipeline apparatus for liquid cryogen, comprising:
- a first assembly including a first pipe having a first exterior surface and a first passageway for liquid cryogen, and a longitudinal member extending along a portion of the first exterior surface of the first pipe;
- a second pipe having a second passageway sized and shaped to receive the first assembly therein, the second pipe coasting with the longitudinal member to provide a pair of channels in the second passageway;
- a third pipe having a third passageway sized and shaped to receive the second pipe therein, the third pipe spaced apart from the second pipe;
- a fourth pipe in communication with the second passageway for providing LIN to said second passageway;
- a pressure control in communication with the LIN in the fourth pipe;
- and
- a vacuum pump and a circulation pump operatively connected to the fourth pipe.
