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.

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
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.
I
Page 9
USER'S MANUAL Issue date : 11/04/97
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 Isolation and energy dissipation

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.

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 Issue date : 11/04/97
. 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.

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.
I. . :. ..-,
.
Storage of the Pump
!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.

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 Issue date : 11/04/97 >
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 Issue date : 11104197
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. 5.5.1.1. Design of the suction line
Installation of the suction line The pipe must be as short and direct as possible Well insulated and applying no force to the pump Same diameter as the pump suction connection (also fittings and valves) Fitting and valves limited to a minimum Constant inclination downward to the pump
Required Fittings and Valves a) Shut-off valve b) Safety valve c) Flexible pipe section d) Filter for oxygen service (only if the pump is used with oxygen) e) Non-return valve on the pump discharge

Vote: Pressure drop, heat inleak = lowers the NPSH
Page 21
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 Issue date : 12/04/97
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.
