  • the rotation prevention device 70 may be a mechanical rotation prevention device that prevents the rotation of the rotation shaft 12 and the impeller 15 by pressing the brake pad against the rotation shaft 12.
  • actuators for driving brake pads include fluid actuators (eg, gas cylinders), electric actuators (eg, electromagnetic solenoids), and the like.
  • the rotation prevention device 70 may be an electromagnetic rotation prevention device that prevents the rotation of the rotating shaft 12 and the impeller 15 by the electromagnetic force generated by energizing the coil.
  • the present invention is used as a technique for preventing slipping of a submerged pump used for transferring liquefied gas such as liquefied ammonia, liquid hydrogen, liquid nitrogen, liquefied natural gas, liquefied ethylene gas, and liquefied petroleum gas. It is possible.
