THERMALLY INSULATED TRANSFER LINE WITH COUPLING ELEMENT

A thermally insulated transfer line for a deep-cooled fluid. The thermally insulated transfer line includes 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; and 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 includes an end piece, wherein the insulation envelope transforms into the end piece, and a connecting sleeve arranged concentric to and radially on an outside of the end piece so as to be attached to the end piece. The thermally insulated transfer line also includes a sliding coupling sleeve operable to connect the connecting sleeve to the cryogenic tank.
