1.6. Description of the Design
The pump is a single stage high speed centrifugal pump driven by an electromotor. The pump is mounted with a support to the motor flange. The pump is directly coupled to the motor shaft. For the support of the impeller, the motor bearings are of the highest precision and are fully externally sealed. 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 pump seal is a special mechanical seal. These instructions contain a description of the pump, as well as complete descriptions of installation, operation and maintenance of the pump. Options The rear chamber of the seal can be provided with a connection for N2-purging. A temperature probe can be installed on the motor bearing for maximum and minimum temperature control. A space heater can be installed on the motor bearing.

2. SAFETY
2.1. 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
Any operation on equipment in use is prohibited 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 FATAL OR MOST SERIOUS INJURIES MAY OCCUR IF SERVICE PERSONNEL DO NOT FOLLOW THE SAFETY REGULATIONS 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.
USER’S MANUAL
Issue date : 2/4/2009
Page 10
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 !
Carefully remove all degreasing fluid, which may also be extremely hazardous in the presence of oxygen! For obvious technical reasons linked to ice formation, it is not possible to completely isolate all pump components.
Burning hazard !
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 Installation scheme
2.2. Isolation and energy dissipation
(Maintenance)
Our products must be installed in a unit which ensures all functions of cutting, separation, locking, pressure purging and checking
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
USER’S MANUAL
Issue date : 2/4/2009
Page 11
carefully so as to permit a VOLUNTARY locking or unlocking of the user with valve isolation.
2.2.1. 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.
2.2.2. Isolation and dissipation of purging gas energy The user must ensure that all purging pipes have been isolated before any operation on the product.
2.2.3. 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.

2.3. Safety form for oxygen pump
Physical properties: . Formula : O2 . Atomic number Z=8 . Molecular weight : 31.9988 g.mole-1 . Molecular dimensions : 4,2-2,8Å . First ionization potential : 12.059 eV . Gas density S.T.P. : 1,4289 kg.m-3
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, burnd) : 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.
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 : . 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 . Always summon a doctor immeditately.

. Cover the victim with a sterilized blanket.
Leak detection and analysis : 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. STORAGE OF THE EQUIPMENT PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
3.1. Cryostar Delivery Inspection
Every pump undergoes a trial operation with liquid nitrogen before leaving our works, hence only perfectly functioning machines are delivered from our factory.
3.2. Degreasing and Lubricating Grease/Oil for Oxygen Duty
Pumps labelled 'degreased for running with oxygen' may be run with oxygen without further treatment. They are delivered with a grease/oil suitable for oxygen service. Pumps delivered, by customer request, with mineral grease, are labelled 'not for oxygen'.
3.3. 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, Incoterms, Issue 1990.
3.4. Storage of the Pump
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 regular 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.

4. INSTALLATION
4.1. Handling
Every machine that weights more than 55 kg must only be handled with a Handling System. Please refer to Handling drawing. PUMP TYPE HANDLING DRAWING No. Weight ≤ 500 Kg Pump with gearbox
708111520
Weight ≤ 500 Kg Pump without gearbox
708114352
VCS 705113963 LOX 705104881 CBSH 705111521
4.2. 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.
4.3. 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.
4.4. Storage Tank
Most suitable is a pressurised storage tank which maintains the required NPSH of the pump (see par. 10.1). The machine must be installed as close as possible from the tank. 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.
USER’S MANUAL
Issue date : 2/4/2009
Page 18
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.
4.5. 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.
4.5.1. 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. 1 m/sec. 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 service 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. 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.

Flexible elbow Additional force Lack or filter or safety valve Pump or seal failure possible
Note: Pressure drop, heat inleak = lowers the NPSH
4.5.2. 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.
USER’S MANUAL
Issue date : 2/4/2009
Page 20
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.
4.5.3. 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.
4.5.4. Vent Line A vent pipe with shut-off valve is advantageous for the venting of piping and pump and for faster cool down.
4.6. 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, CRYOSTAR cannot be held responsible.

6. START-UP
6.1. 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.
6.1.1. 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.
6.1.2. Direction of Rotation Start the motor for a short run (the pump must not be operated without liquid!) and check whether the pump shaft rotation is the same as the arrow direction on the pump volute.
6.1.3. 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
6.1.4. In labyrinth pump : centering labyrinth rings Caution : For labyrinth pumps, loosen the labyrinth seal cover screws. Turn pump on end i.e. rotate the shaft manually to ensure that it rotates correctly and to ensure the self-centering of the labyrinth rings. Then, the cover screws of the labyrinth seal may be definitively tightened-up.

6.2. Cool-down and Start-up of the Pump
(see drawing 'Flow diagram')
W A R N I N G The pump must not run without liquid!
Safety clothes, gloves, spectacles, etc... according to « On-Site » regulations
Do not touch the equipment while in use
Warning : Pumps with mechanical seal
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, see Starting and pressure regulation of seal gas Warning : Pumps with lantern N2-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 N2-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. 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.
USER’S MANUAL
Issue date : 2/4/2009
Page 24
When cooling down, start the pump every 2-3 minutes for a short run of 2 to 3 seconds. This prevents contact freezing of the sealing surfaces. 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. 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. 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.
6.3. 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 10.1 - 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.
6.4. Shut-down of the Pump
(see drawing 'Flow diagram') For shutdown this sequence should be followed: 1. 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

8. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
8.1. General
The following maintenance instructions are sufficient in normal use. Estimates and proposals for spare parts and revisions will be supplied upon request. Nevertheless it is not recommended nor practical to attempt to completely overhaul it due to the close tolerances and precision finishes of the interior components. When extensive overhaul works or complete revisions are necessary, we recommend that the help of our service engineer is requested.
WARNING Before use, ensure that the pump is not under voltage and that it is not cold. If necessary, the installation must be isolated and the energy must be dissipated according to safety procedures.
WARNING Before use, ensure that no impurity enters into the pump or the pipes.
8.1.1. Assembly / Disassembly : Table of tightening torques and forces After manual tightening, the end tightening must be made with a torque wrench, at 75% of the limit of elasticity or at the drawing value.

8.2. Periodical Revisions and Maintenance
To ensure trouble free operation over long periods the following maintenance works must be carried out: - Every 1000 hours of operation or annually Dismantle the pump completely, change damaged parts, clean all parts. - Lubricants See the section 'Lubrication'. The time limits given above should be adapted to the type of pump operation, the atmospheric exposure, the internal operating practice and operating experience. The given time limits are a recommendation only.
USER’S MANUAL
Issue date : 2/4/2009

8.3. Dismantling of the pump
(see drawing 'Cold End') Dismantle the pump carefully and in the following sequence: - Disconnect the electrical connections and electrical accessories - Remove the suction-, by-pass-, discharge-and vent lines, fitting 29, etc. - For further dismantling , prepare clean work place (cover the work table with new paper) - Remove screws 1 with its spring washers 2 - Remove the pump casing 4 - Remove the flexitallic gasket 3 - Remove nuts with its washers (parts 8,9,14) - Pull-off carefully the inducer 6 of the pump shaft - Pull-off carefully the impeller 10 of the pump shaft - Remove keys 7, shim 18, seal ring 11 and shim 13 - Unscrew the mechanical seal clockwise (left thread) from intermediate piece 5 For dismantling or tightening the mechanical seal use only the special tool drawing no. 768026005. CAUTION Using other tools to screw or unscrew the mechanical seal could damage the seal ring or the whole mechanical seal and must therefore be avoided. - Remove screws 15,16 - Remove the intermediate piece 5 with its back-up rings - Push off the thermal insulation 20 and back-up rings 22 - Dismantle the screws 25,28,17 between the motor flange and the support and dismantle the support 27 - Dismantle the slinger ring 23 of the shaft - Remove pin 26 and push off the pump shaft 21
8.4. Assembly of the Pump
Assemble the pump in the reverse of the stated dismantling sequence. The following care should be taken: The mechanical seal ring and the seal ring must be lapped to best surface quality. Assemble the mechanical seal very carefully, so that its tightness is guaranteed during stand still as well as in operation. The seal bellow must be dry.
USER’S MANUAL
Issue date : 2/4/2009
Page 33
Do not damage the O-ring. Before assembling the pump, carefully clean all pump parts and any changed parts. For a pump in oxygen service, all parts must be degreased. The flexitallic gasket between pump housing parts must be carefully inserted and the screws tightened crosswise. Check the freedom of rotation of the pump shaft. For special position of the pump discharge nozzle turn the pump housing against the support. Never turn the support against the motor flange.
8.5. Adjustment of the Mechanical Seal
Screw the mechanical seal into the pump casing in an anticlockwise direction using the special tool. CAUTION Left thread. Do not forget the O-ring seal. Push the mobile ring smoothly on the shaft towards the sealing ring. Measure with a precision depth gauge the distance between the shaft end and the mobile ring. Press the mobile ring up against the mechanical seal up to the shoulder shaft. Measure the distance between the shaft end and the mobile ring as before. The difference between both measured distances is the preload of the mechanical seal. The correct preload is listed on the checklist. Adjust to the correct preload with shims between the shaft shoulder and the sealing ring. Caution: When the sealing ring is partially worn, adjust the preload so that the sealing ring is beyond the shoulder of the mechanical seal housing.

10. ANNEX
10.1. NPSH
NPSH = ”Net positive Suction Head” = difference between the static pressure (Ps) 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.
The required NPSH (=NPSHr) must be available during starting as well as during operation of the pump. The available NPSH (NPSHa) in the suction nozzle of the pump can be attained or improved by: - Increasing the static liquid head - Relative undercooling of the liquid - Pressure built-up in the tank over the actual vapour pressure - Better insulation of the piping - Reduction of pressure loss in the piping
USER’S MANUAL
Issue date : 2/4/2009
Page 36
The necessary NPSH must be guaranteed during start-up as well as under service conditions of the pump. The necessary NPSH in the suction nozzle may be reached or improved by: - Increasing the static liquid head (higher position of the tank) - Undercooling of the liquid - Pressure increase in the tank - Better piping insulation in the given installation - Reduction of piping pressure
