Zusammenfassung:A cryogenic engine system and method for delivering cryogen to a cryogenic engine are provided. The cryogenic engine system comprises a tank for storing liquid cryogen, a cryogenic engine, a pump configured to pressurise cryogen from the tank, a first conduit for transporting cryogen between the pump and the cryogenic engine, a second conduit for transporting cryogen from the pump back to the tank, and a first valve disposed in the second conduit for controlling the flow of cryogen from the pump back to the tank. A pre-mixing system for a cryogenic engine and a method for mixing cryogen with a heat exchange fluid (HEF) are also provided. To be published with Figure 1
