GENERAL
2.1. Description of the Design
The pump is a single stage high speed centrifugal pump driven by an

electrornotor with gearbox with the required gear ratio.
The gearbox is directly connected to the motor flange. Pump and gearbox are
coupled together by a support which is otherwise the bearing carrier. The
gearbox is splash oil lubricated.
The undesirable cold creep from the pump cold end to the bearings is
reduced to a minimum by an insulation ring, small contact surfaces and long
support arms.
The rigid pump shaft is supported by the mounting of roller bearings and ball
bearings, depending on the use. To avoid oil penetration by the high speed
shaft, a labyrinth seal is provided.
These instructions contain a description of the pump, as well as complete

descriptions of installation, operation and maintenance of the pump.
Options
The front bearing can be equipped with a temperature probe for maximum
and minimum temperature control.
The pump seal is a special mechanical seal.The rear chamber of the seal can
be purged by nitrogen.

3. SAFETY
3 1 Warning
Safety norms applied on site must be scrupulously respected. The

enforcement of a safety area will limit access to authorized personnel
only. Any operation on equipment in use is prohibited
I Any operation on equipment in use is prohibited 1

Any normal operation must be made according to the recommendations
in the instructions
Any repairs must be made according to the recommendations in the

instructions
~ A OR MOST
L SERIOUS INJURIES MAY OCCUR IF SERVICE I
High voltage is applied in the operation of this equipment.
The use of liquid gases or gases under high pressure has high risk factors
if service personnel do not follow safety regulations.
Fatal or most serious injuries, fire, explosions or suffocation may occur

depending on the liquid gas used in the system. Please, refer to the motor
instructions
Explosion hazard in the presence of oxygen

Cleaning and degreasing for use with oxygen
All components and equipment must be cleaned and degreased and must be
safe for use with oxygen.
Page 9
USER'S MANUAL
After cleaning and degreasing, the components and equipment should be

sealed and protected against contamination. The sealing and protection
should not be removed until immediately before installation. Consult Cryostar.
Explosion hazard in the presence of oxygen I
Carefully remove all degreasing fluid, which may also be extremely

hazardous in the presence of oxygen1
For obvious technical reasons linked to ice formation, it is not possible to

completely isolate all pump components.
Burning hazard I
During cool-down and working periods, it is strictly forbidden to touch
the machine
Our products must be handled with a handling system. Please, refer to

the Instatlation scheme
3.2. Isolation and energy dissipation
(Maintenance)
I o u r products must be installed in a unit which ensures all functions of 1
I cutting, separation, locking, pressure purging and checking 1
All energy external to our product originating from the customer (electricity,
purging gas, compressed air, N2-purging, etc...) must be isolated and
dissipated by means of isolating switches (hand operated valves with
padlocks, locking electric switches..). Gas line valves must be chosen
Page 10
USER'S MANUAL
carefully so as to permit a VOLUNTARY locking or unlocking of the user with

valve isolation.
3.2.1. Isolation and dissipation of gas process energy
Components and instruments which permit the isolation and the dissipation of
the gas process energy depend on the users internal procedures of isolation
and energy dissipation and the parameters of their networks. Thus, it is not
possible for CRYOSTAR to plan the installation of this type of equipment on
the supplied machine.
3.2.2. Isolation and dissipation of purging gas energy
The user must ensure that all purging pipes have been isolated before any
operation on the product.
3.2.3. Isolation and dissipation of electrical energy
Before each operation on parts or equipment normally under voltage, the
personnel must isolate them when the equipment is at a standstill.
- Cut off and separate the equipment from the supply source by switching off.
- Lock the switch in a separation position with a padlock or any equivalent
locking device. The locking switch must be in an open position.
- Before operation, check that there is no more accumulated residual voltage
(Note : All orange coloured electrical circuit of the electrical equipment
supplied by CRYOSTAR remain permanently under voltage).
All electrical operation should be carried out by trained and authorized

personnel. The electrical connections must be connected by trained and
empowered personnel who must respect the local regulations and
protection rules in force.

3.3. Safety form for oxygen pump
Physical properties:
. Formula : 0 2
. Atomic number 2=8
, Molecular weight : 31.9988 g.mole-'
. Molecular dimensions : 4,2-2,8A
. First ionization potential : 12.059 eV
. Gas density S.T.P. : 1,4289 kg.m3
Oxygen is a gas colorless, odorless and testeless.
,
- Working recommendations :
No smoking near the pump.

. Oil and grease stained clothing must not be worn.
, Greasy rags should not be left lying about and the floor must be free of oil stains.
, Work with flame should be avoided in the enclosure of the pump.
Recommendations in case of accident (fires. burns) :
In case of clothing fires, it is essential to act with maximum speed.

Water is still the best extinguisher in several cases. Hence quick action with a
shower, bath or extinguisher is necessary. It appears that hasty wrapping in a
blanket is of doubtful effectiveness.
A First aid for burn victims (low temperatures of liquid oxygen) :
Burns of this type are generally local.

Burnt parts of the body should be warmed gradually and then treated as
conventional burns.
While awaiting the doctor, carry out the following first aid measures :
Page 72
USER'S MANUAL
. If large blisters have been formed on the skin or if the eyes are suffering from
burns, immerse the burnt area in water or apply cold compresses, and convey the
victim to a doctor.
. If the injury is less serious (spattering on the skin, small blisters), immerse the
burned area in cold water until the pain stops, coat the area with vaseline and keep
it wet for 24 hours by means of a cold 30 g/l boric acid solution.
, Do not pierce the blistes.
. Do not touch or undress the victim
. Do not speak to the victim face to face
. If possible, wrap burnt parts of the body in sterilized compresses
. Alwavs summon a doctor immeditatelv.
, Cover the victim with a sterilized blanket.
A Leak detection and analvsis :
Before employing a pump intended for use with pressurized oxygen, test the
assembly with a leak detector such as a helium detector.
The atmosphere surrounding an installation containing oxygen must be monitored
for oxygen concentration.
Any rise in the latter considerably increase the risk of accident. Portable oxygen
analyzers may be employed.
3.4. Safety form for argon pump

Nitrogen does not give to any oxidation reaction. It is a nonflammable gas.
Bioloaical properties :
Nitrogen is a physiologically inert, nontoxic gas. By displacing the oxygen in the air, it
may have harmful effects on the organism, by reducing the partial pressure of
oxygen and acting as an asphyxiant.
First svm~tomsof asphyxia bv a r w n :
. Gradual loss of balance, dizziness

Feeling of tightness or compression in the head, located near the forehead,
. Tingling sensation in the tongue, fingertips and toes,
. Difficulty and weakening of speech, leading to the inability to utter a sound,
. Unnoticeable and then rapid reduction of the ability to exert physical effort and to
coordinate movements, leading to total immobility,
, Reduced awareness of the outside world and damping of sensory characteristics,
particularly the touch

4. STORAGE OF THE EQUIPMENT PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
4 -
BOC AG Cryostar Delivery lnspection
Every pump undergoes a trial operation with liquid nitrogen before leaving our
works, hence only perfectly functioning machines are delivered from our
factory.
4.2. Degreasing and Lubricating Greaseloif for Oxygen Duty
k! Pumps labelled 'degreased for running with oxygen' may be run with
oxygen without further treatment. They are delivered with a greasefoil suitable
for oxygen service. Pumps delivered, by customer request, with mineral
grease, are labelled 'not for oxygen'.
4.3. Inspection by Customers on Arrival
Every pump should be checked immediately upon delivery, and any damages
incurred during transportation should be reported immediately to the
transporters or to Cryostar. Refer to Sales Conditions, Incotenns, lssue 1990.
4.4. Storage of the Pump
I. . :.
!k!
If the pump is not for immediate use, it must be stored in a dry
environment, protected from oil, dust and water.
..-, .
Important: The polyethylene wrapping around the pump, and the protective covers on
the pipe connections should only be removed immediately before installation.
CAUTION: Check stored equipment and spare parts at regu;ar intervals e.g. every six
months at minimum. Any moisture, dust, rust etc. must be removed before
use. Note, parts for oxygen service which are stored or installed for more then
six months prior to use must be dismantled and checked carefully prior to
start-up.
The time period given above is our recommendation only and must be
adapted to the users own safety regulations. Fatal or most serious injuries
may occur if service personnel do not follow the safety regulations.

5.2. Erection
Place skid on a flat surface that has been prepared according to the
dimensional layout drawing and capable of supporting the indicated load.
Secure the skid to the surface with the required amount and size of bolts as
indicated in the foundation drawing. The skid to be preferably grouted to limit
vibration. The stability of the whole installation must be ensured.
5.3. Installation Scheme
The enclosed installation schematic drawing and operating instructions on the

following pages apply in normal operating circonstances only. Therefore, they
are relatively general and only the most important points for all different
service applications are mentioned. The installation schematic drawing shows
only indispensable equipment and piping for the operation of a pump for
liquefied gases and should be completed accordingly for different
applications.
5.4. Storage Tank
Most suitable is a pressurised storage tank which maintains the required

NPSH of the pump (Please, refer to the Annex). The machine must be
installed as close as possible from the tank.
Page 19
USER'S MANUAL
>
The tank discharge connection should be in the bottom of the tank and short.
A syphon or plunging pipe are unsuitable as gas which is formed in the line is
collected and cannot leave the pipe.
The diameter of the tank discharge connection should be adjusted to the flow.
It should not be too small (minimum diameter same as the pump suction
connection) to keep the pressure drop small.
5.5. Piping
Piping must be carefully designed so as not to transmit any stresses or forces

to the pump during operation or during stand still. Temperature contractions
and elongations must also be taken into consideration. For this reason,
flexible pipe parts should be installed.
5.5.1. Suction Line
The suction line connects the tank discharge and the pump suction
connection and should be as direct and as short as possible.
The pipe must have a constant downwards inclination to the pump to allow
forthcoming gas to return into the tank.
The pipe diameter should be selected and designed for flow with an average
velocity of approx. Imlsec. Smaller velocities reduce the friction losses, but
disadvantageously increase the heat inleak accordingly. This reduces the
available NPSH (see par. 10.1) and increases the gas vaporization loss
during the cool down period.
Good insulation is therefore essential. But it should not hinder the movements
of flexible pipe parts (flexible hose).
In view of gas vaporization losses the shut-off valves and the filter should not
be too large, as larger sizes mean increased heat inleak and longer cool
down time.
Pumps for oxygen senrice must be protected against foreign particles by a

filter in the suction line. Particles, which enter the pump are a potential fire or
explosion hazard.
The filter should have approx. 560 micron mesh and the useful surface should
be two times the suction pipe area at minimum.
Page 20
USER'S MANUAL
Manifolds without a constant liquid flow should be shut-off as close as

possible to the branch in order to minimize the liquid gas vaporization.
All piping sections which can be shut-off must be equipped with safety valves
to avoid excessive pressure increase due to the vaporization of liquid gas.

USER'S MANUAL
Issue date : 1t/04/97
5.5.2. Discharge Line

The discharge pipe should have the same diameter as the discharge
connection of the pump, or somewhat larger for longer piping and when
excessive pressure loss would restrict the flow too much.
The discharge line characteristic must be put into consideration with the pump
characteristic curve!
A shut-off valve, a non-return valve and pressure gauge should be installed in

the discharge line.
5.5.3. Bypass Line
For faster cool down and for easier start-up a bypass line should be provided.
The bypass pipe should have the same diameter as the pump discharge line
or should be designed for the pump minimum flow.
5.5.4. Vent Llne
A vent pipe with shut-off valve is advantageous for the venting of piping and
pump and for faster cool down.
5.6. Inert Gas Purging of the Gearbox
Oils suitable for Oxygen service do not provide a high degree of lubrication.
Atmospheric humidity can penetrate into the gearbox and cause corrosion
damages to un-lubricated surfaces. This can be prevented by inert gas
purging.
To prevent this phenomena, a special connection is provided on the gearbox.

We recommend a nitrogen purge of this connection. This will considerably
improve the life-time of gears and bearings.
The gearbox must only be purged if the pump is not in operation. Purging
during operation would result in oil mist in the cold end.
5.7. Inert Gas Purging of the Mechanical Seal (Optional)
Purging the chamber behind the mechanical seal with 'hot' Nitrogen is
recommended when using gases such as Ethylene, Methane, Propane, etc.
For this purpose the rear chamber of the mechanical seal can be provided
with an N2 purge connection.
N2-purging is recommended for continuously cooled down and for open air
pumps. It considerably improves the life time of the mechanical seal.
Page 22
USER'S MANUAL
Nitrogen gas purging pressure: 0.02 - 0.05 bar
5.8. Valves and Fittings
All valves, fittings, filters, manometers, etc.. must be adapted to a company's

own internal safety regulations and must also correspond to health-safety
legislation.
For any damages caused by unsuitable assembly of the piping system, BOC
AG-CRYOSTAR cannot be held responsible.
5.9. Gearbox
During the test run in our factory, the gearbox is lubricated with the necessary
oil which aftetwards is drained. Before the start-up the prescribed the gearbox
must be filled with the required volume of oil.
5.1 0. Differential pressure switch
The differential pressure switch indicates the pressure difference between

suction and discharge.

7. START-UP
7 Pre-Start-up Inspection
Check whether all pipes, fittings, fixing bolts and electric connections are
ready for start-up.
Prepare the complete system, in which the pump is installed for start-up.
For gearbox driven pumps, check the oil level.
7.1.1. Vent
CAUTION
BEFORE OPERATING THE PUMP, ALL SUCTION LINES, DISCHARGE
LINES AND THE PUMP SHOULD BE VENTED SO AS TO PREVENT
HUMIDITY OR ICE FROM BUILDING-UP IN THE PUMP DURING THE
COOL DOWN PERIOD
THE LENGTH OF TIME FOR THIS WILL VARY DEPENDING UPON LOCAL
CONDITIONS : ONE DAY MINIMUM after a long break
Page 26
USER'S MANUAL
7.2. Cool-down and Start-up of the Pump
(see drawing 'Flow diagram')
WARNING

Warning :Pumps with mechanical seal

A
Before cooling down, purge the mechanical seal with dry nitrogen for at
least 10 minutes to prevent moisture ingress into mechanical seal area
causing freezing together of seal faces. The mechanical seal purging tubing
must be in stainless steel or in copper. The gas must be clean. Refer to
'Suction pressure and mechanical seal'.
Warning : For labyrinth pumps, please refer to Seal gas system -
Labyrinth seal, Starting and pressure regulation of seal gas
Warning : Pumps with lantern N,-purging
In operation and especially during cooling down period, the warm box must be
purged with gaseous nitrogen to prevent motor bearing and pump end from
freezing.
The nitrogen purging pressure must be 0.15 barg.
It must be started before cooling down the pump.
Nitrogen gas must be dry.
Dew point: -80°C
Warning :Pumps with protection chamber N,-purging
The nitrogen purging pressure must be 0.15 barg. Purging in operation and
during cooldown of the pump is necessary. Open seal gas inlet which must be
dry nitrogen.
Warning : Pumps with motor front bearing heater
Heater must be electrically powered during motor stop and pump cooled
down.
Page 27
USER'S MANUAL
Open suction valve and bypass valve 6 slowly. Liquid flows from storage tank
into the pump and cools it down. During the cool-down period the pressure
regulating valve 4 is closed and the bypass valve 6 open.
During cool-down the storage tank pressure rises. This improves the pump
start-up conditions due to improved NPSH - see section NPSH.
When a ventline with block-valve against air inlet is installed in the discharge
or bypass line, cool-down can be accelerated by venting the gas into the
atmosphere. Do not open the shut off valve for too long a period, otherwise
the storage tank pressure will drop too much.
Normally the pump will be cooled down after 10-15 minutes. However,
for a two stage pump, cool-down period is 30 mn to I hour depending on
the type of installation.
The white frost from the pump body then begins to extend to the four support
arms. If the pump is overcooled (support arms completely frosted) it should be
started only after the shaft has been checked for freedom of rotation.
After the pump is well cooled down fully open the suction valve. If one is
installed, close the ventline and block valve and regulate the bypass valve
according to the diameter of the pipe.
7.2.1. Spin Test by Hand

Spin the pump by hand using the slinger ring on the pump shaft or an offset
spanner on the motor fan screw to control the rotation.
7.2.2. Dlrectlon of Rotation
1~
The pump must not beoperated without liquid!
Start the motor for a short run and check whether the pump shaft rotation is
the same as the arrow direction on the pump volute.
Page 28
USER'S MANUAL
Issue date : 1 1104197
Start the pump

Adjust to the required discharge pressure with bypass valve 6. Then
simultaneously open pressure regulating valve 4 and close bypass valve 6.
This starts liquid gas delivery to the consumer.
Do not control the flow with the suction shut off valve! This valve must remain
fully open during operation. Partial closure will decrease the available NPSH
and could disturb the trouble free operation.
7.3. Suction Pressure and Mechanical Seal

For good priming and trouble-free operation every liquid gas pump needs a
certain net positive suction head (NPSH), i.e. some over pressure above the
liquid gas vapor pressure in the pump suction nozzle (see also section
NPSH).
Sometimes the geodetical head of the tank (the liquid column above the pump
suction nozzle) is not sufficient to equalize the friction losses and the heat
inleak in the suction line.
In such a case build-up the gas pressure in the storage tank. The necessary
pressure increase in the storage tank is a function of the required pump
NPSH and of the installation, and therefore it can be determined by test only.
Operate the pump with the lowest possible storage tank pressure.
The pump mechanical seal is designed for a suction pressure of 5 bars. Keep
the pump suction pressure as low as possible. This improves the life time of
the mechanical seal.
If installed:
Purge gas: For explosive gases such as ethylene, methane or propane the
rear chamber cavity should be purged with nitrogen 10 minutes before
cooling-down and the gas mixture evacuated. Purging for continuously cooled
down pumps is also recommended (liquid gas truck service).
Purge gas pressure: 0.02 - 0.05 bar. The purge gas pressure must be lower
than the pump suction pressure.

Dry-running and cavitation detection

It must be set between 30% and 50% of the minimal differential head. Please,
refer to the documentation of the differential pressure switch for the setting.
7.4.1. Recommendations for start-up

Running with frequency converter :
Please, shunt it until the motor has reached its nominal speed. Take into
account the acceleration ramp plus 10 seconds.
Running without frequency converter :

Please shunt it for 30 seconds.
7.5. Shut-down of the Pump
(see drawing 'Flow diagram')

For shutdown this sequence should be followed:
I.Shut-off the motor, open the bypass valve 6 and close the pressure
regulating valve 4
2. Close the suction valve
3. After the pump has been defrosted, close bypass valve 6

9.8. Motor Bearings Regrease and Maintenance
Please consult the section 'Technical data' to find the motor type used.
Note: For lubricant selection, please refer to ch. 'Lubrication'
Motors up to size 180 are equipped with life-time lubricated bearings. We

recommend that these are exchanged every 8000 working hours.
Bearings in motors size 180 and bigger must be greased as follows:

Every 4000 hours of operation, or annually
The motor bearing should be regreased in operation.
Every 8000 hours of operation, or every two years
Check the electrornotor and change the motor bearing if necessary.
For the reassembly, a special care should be taken to the bearing setting at
the shaft end side so that the axial clearance does not exceed the values
given by the manufacturer.
Attention: Motors size 180 and bigger are delivered with drain holes
underneath obtured with removable plugs. Plugs must be removed in order to
avoid wear and tear.
For pumps equipped with gearboxes, the motor bearing seal is essential.

11.1. NPSH
NPSH = "Net positive Suction Head" = difference between the static

pressure (P,) and the actual vapour pressure (Pt) of the vapourfree
liquid in the suction nozzle of the pump.
To allow a cryogenic pump to start and operate correctly, a specific NPSH

must be available.
The NPSH in the suction nozzle of the pump has to prevent local vaporization
of the liquid and can also be described as relative undercooling ( DT). The
actual vapour pressure (Pt) is determined only by the temperature (Ts) in the
suction nozzle of the pump, expressed in meters of liquid head.
