The Cryodynamics Division of EBARA International Corporation
was founded in California (USA) in 1973, to execute the founder's concepts of
submerged electric motor cryogenic pump design. The Cryodynamics group was at
one time associated with Royal Industries, and later became a division of
Worthington Pump Corporation in the USA. In 1984, Cryodynamics entered
into a partnership with EBARA Corporation of Japan, one of the world's largest
pump companies with over 5,000 employees. In 1989, this association culminated
with our becoming the Cryodynamics Division of EBARA International Corporation.
Through our affiliation with EBARA, we combined the established capabilities of
Cryodynamics liquefied gas pump engineering know-how with Ebara's centrifugal
pump know-how dating back to 1912. This combination provides a depth of
capability and experience unmatched by any manufacturer of pumps for cryogenic
liquids. Consequently, Cryodynamics is recognized as the unquestionable leader
in this field. In 1994, the Ebara Cryodynamics group had outgrown their
manufacturing plant in Sacramento, California, and moved their entire facility and operations
to Sparks, Nevada
(adjacent to Reno in Northern Nevada near the California border). The
new factory and main offices are housed in a modern 5000m2 indoor plant on a
24,000 m2 site. At that time, the Ebara Cryodynamics liquefied gas
test facility was rebuilt, and is now one of the largest and most sophisticated
liquefied gas pump and turbine test facilities in the world.
Since moving to Nevada
in 1994, the test facility has been expanded to increase capacity, with the
addition of two test run tanks for a total of five. In 2007, a new motor
manufacturing facility is being added to further enhance production and
manufacturing capabilities.
