applying to the sale of Seller’s products or services, except conditions relating to prices, quantities, delivery schedules, terms of payment, invoicing, shipping
instructions, and the description and specifications of the products or services, together with other written conditions which may be mutually agreed upon by the
parties in writing. Acceptance by Buyer of Seller’s quotation is expressly and exclusively limited to the terms, conditions and limitations contained herein, with the
exceptions described, which terms and conditions supersede all prior statements, proposals, negotiations, representations and agreements and shall constitute the
entire agreement between Seller and Buyer with respect to the subject matter hereof. This serves as written objection to and rejection of all inconsistent or additional
terms, conditions and limitations contained on any form or writing of Buyer. Buyer’s acceptance of these terms and conditions shall be deemed to have occurred
unless written notice of rejection is received by Seller within five (5) calendar days of receipt of this document. In any event, Buyer’s acceptance of delivery of the
goods sold hereunder shall manifest Buyer’s assent to the terms, conditions and limitations contained herein. Seller shall not be deemed to have waived the terms
and conditions contained herein if Seller fails to object to the conditions appearing in, incorporated by reference, or attached to a purchase order. If Buyer issues
multiple purchase orders or makes other requests of Seller for goods or services, each such order or request shall be subject to these terms and conditions of sale
regardless of Buyer’s other terms of any such order or request, and regardless of the method in which the order was placed.
2. EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY
Goods Manufactured by Seller - Seller warrants to the original Buyer that its new goods are free from defects in materials and workmanship. Seller warrants rated
performance of its new goods provided that such goods are used and maintained in accordance with the conditions set forth in the contract documents, including, but
not limited to, the operating and maintenance manuals, and installation and use criteria set forth in the specifications which are a part of this Agreement, or if there are
none, under good operating, maintenance and use conditions. Seller’s obligation under this warranty is limited to the repair, or, at Seller’s option, the replacement of
any new equipment which is within twelve (12) months of delivery to the original Buyer, or the replacement of spare parts within ninety (90) days of delivery to the

of shipping, insurance, and risk of loss arising in connection with performance of this warranty shall be borne by Buyer.
Components Purchased by Seller - Seller shall attempt to obtain, in its subcontracts with each supplier of components not made by Seller, a provision that the
subcontractor’s standard warranty, if any, shall survive Seller’s inspection, acceptance, and payment and shall run to Seller, its successors, assigns, and customers.
Designs - Seller warrants to the original Buyer of its designs that Seller’s designs satisfy criteria and specifications set forth in the contract documents. Seller’s
obligation under this warranty is limited to redesign if, within twelve (12) months after delivery to the original Buyer, Buyer demonstrates to Seller’s satisfaction that

FUNCTION OR AS TO THEIR LIFE AFTER SALE TO BUYER AND/OR TO SUBSEQUENT BUYERS OR USERS OF THE GOODS. THERE ARE NO
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE WHICH EXTEND
BEYOND THE FACE OF THIS AGREEMENT. SELLER NEITHER ASSUMES NOR AUTHORIZES ANY PERSON TO ASSUME FOR IT ANY OTHER LIABILITY IN
CONNECTION WITH THE SALE OF ITS GOODS. Seller has no responsibility whatsoever for reimbursing Buyer or its customers, nor shall Seller be liable in
damages for repair or replacement costs incurred by Buyer or its customers in connection with the goods or parts thereof without Seller first having given its written
authorization for such charges and without Seller having an opportunity to perform its warranty obligations as hereinabove set forth. Seller’s warranties as
hereinabove set forth shall not be enlarged or affected by, and no obligation or liability shall arise or grow out of Seller’s rendering of technical assistance or service in
connection with Buyer’s order or the goods furnished hereunder. Buyer’s assertion of any rights under this warranty provision shall be in writing and shall specify with
particularity the alleged defects in the goods.
3. NO CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES – As a material inducement for Seller to sell the goods to Buyer at the stated price, Buyer agrees that Seller shall in no event be
liable for any loss, expense or damage for (i) loss of revenue, profits, savings, business or goodwill and (ii) exemplary, proximate, consequential or incidental damages
and expenses of any type or nature, on account of any breach or default hereunder by Seller or on account of the use or nonuse of the goods. FURTHER, SELLER'S
MAXIMUM TOTAL LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR DAMAGES AND EXPENSES ARISING FROM ANY DEFAULT OR DEFAULTS, BREACH OR
BREACHES OF WARRANTY OR FAILURE TO DELIVER GOODS IN CONFORMANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT (REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION,
WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT) SHALL NOT EXCEED BUYER'S ACTUAL DAMAGES OR THE PRICE ACTUALLY PAID BY BUYER TO SELLER FOR
THE PARTICULAR GOODS INVOLVED IN THE OCCURRENCE GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY, WHICHEVER IS LESS. The period of such liability shall not
extend beyond the warranty period under this Agreement. The limitations set forth in this paragraph shall not be affected by the failure of the repair remedy provided
in Paragraph 2 hereof. Neither Buyer nor any affiliated company or assignee shall have the right to claim compensation or to set off against any amounts, which
become payable to Seller under this Agreement or otherwise. In no event shall Buyer, its customers, successors or assigns, commence any action under this
Agreement or arising out of the sale, delivery or use of the goods, and regardless of the form of the action, later than one year after the cause of action has accrued.

9. EXCUSABLE DELAYS - Seller shall not be in default for failure to deliver or delay in delivery arising out of causes beyond its control and without its negligence,
including, but not limited to: Acts of God or the public enemy, Acts of the Government in either its sovereign or contractual capacity, fires; floods; epidemics;
quarantine restrictions; strikes; shortage of materials or supplies; labor disputes; freight embargoes; delays in transit; and unusually severe weather. Any of the above
excusable delays shall not terminate this Agreement, and Seller shall deliver the goods as promptly as practical thereafter. The time of the delivery set forth in the
Agreement shall be extended, in the event of any change order or request for modification requested by Buyer, for such period as is reasonably necessary for Seller to
comply with any such change order or request for modification. In the event of a failure to deliver timely the goods, Buyer shall not have any right to procure goods
from any other source except at Buyer’s sole expense; provided, however, that after payment to Seller of the contract price for any completed goods and work in
process; according to the terms of this Agreement, Buyer may procure such goods or portions thereof with Seller’s written approval, and at Buyer’s expense, the price
of which shall not exceed the amount still owing under this Agreement after required payments for such completed goods and work in process that have been
subcontracted therefrom. Buyer’s acceptance of late delivery goods shall constitute complete and satisfactory performance by Seller.
10. BUYER DELAYS - Buyer shall respond within two (2) business days to all of Seller’s written requests for information and/or approvals, and Seller shall give Buyer
not less than seven (7) business days advance notice of readiness to ship. No payment otherwise due to Seller shall be delayed or withheld, and no liquidated
damages shall be assessed, on the
basis of any delay caused by Buyer’s failure to timely respond to such requests by Seller, by delays in shipment where Buyer is responsible for arranging shipment or
by delays due to lack of site preparation by Buyer.
11. SHIPPING DELAYS - If equipment is ready to ship in accordance with the terms of sale and Buyer is not ready to take possession of same, the equipment will be
“Shipped in Place” (as commonly defined by generally accepted accounting principles), and Buyer will thereupon assume all responsibility for and risk of loss or
damage to the equipment. At Buyer’s option, Buyer may obtain insurance coverage in case of loss or damage to the equipment Shipped in Place. Title transfer to the
equipment will occur at time of invoice. Upon Shipment in Place, Seller will be entitled to receive payment due upon shipment in accordance with the Payment Terms.
If Buyer requests, the equipment will be stored by Seller for up to sixty (60) days without charge, after which the storage charge will be six-tenths of one percent
(.06%) of order value per day. Upon Buyer’s request, Seller will arrange to deliver the equipment to a freight forwarder or warehouse for storage. All transport and
storage costs shall be the responsibility of Buyer. Buyer shall bear all risk of loss or damage during transport and storage.
12. PATENT INDEMNITY - If the goods furnished hereunder are specified in this Agreement as being “standard commercial supplies” of Seller, Seller agrees to
indemnify Buyer, its successors, assigns, agents, and users of its products against loss, damage, or liability, including cost and expenses, which may be incurred on
account of any suit, claim, judgment or demand involving infringement or alleged infringement of any patent rights in the manufacture, use or disposition of any goods
supplied hereunder, provided Buyer shall promptly notify Seller of any suit instituted against it and, to the full extent of its ability to do so, shall permit Seller (at Seller’s
sole discretion) to defend the same or make settlement in respect thereto. In the event the goods furnished hereunder are produced under special specifications of
Buyer, no liability under this paragraph shall arise against Seller. In like manner, Buyer agrees to save Seller harmless from patent infringements resulting from
Seller’s compliance with designs and/or specifications not originating with Seller now or hereafter forming a part of this Agreement or with specific written instructions
given by Buyer for the purpose of directing the manner in which Seller shall perform this Agreement.
13. USE OF PRODUCTS - Seller grants no license or right, expressly or by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, beyond the right of Buyer to use the specified goods in
the form delivered by Seller. Further, Seller’s products are offered for sale and are sold subject in every case to the condition that such sale does not convey any
license, expressly or by implication, estoppel. or otherwise, under any patent claim with respect to which Seller could grant licenses covering any other product, or any
completed equipment, or any assembly, piping spool, circuit, combination, method or process in which, or in the manufacturing or testing of which, any such Seller’s
products are used (notwithstanding that such Seller products may have been designed only for use in, or may only be useful in, such other patented products or such
patented equipment, assembly, piping spool, circuit, combination, method or process, or in the manufacturing or testing thereof, and that Seller’s products may have
been purchased and sold for such use). Seller expressly reserves all its rights under such patent claims.
14. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS - The prints, drawings or specifications of Seller attached hereto or hereafter furnished by Seller to Buyer in connection with the
obtaining or the performance of this Agreement are the property of Seller and represent a proprietary article with respect to which Seller retains all United States or
foreign letter patent, trademarks or copyrights, including exclusive rights of use, manufacture and sale. Possession by Buyer of such prints, drawings or specifications
does not convey any permission to manufacture, use or sell any goods shown thereon, and such information is disclosed to Buyer on a confidential basis.
15. TERMINATION - If Buyer fails to comply with any of the provisions hereto, or becomes the subject of a proceeding under state or federal law for relief of debtors,
or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, Seller shall have the right to hold Buyer in default and, in addition to any other rights it may have, may cancel this
Agreement in whole or in part.
16. EFFECT OF INVALIDITY - The invalidity in whole or in part of any provision hereto shall not affect the validity of any other provision. Should any part of this
Agreement be held invalid or severed, the remaining terms of this Agreement shall continue in full force.
17. CREDIT - Seller reserves the right at any time to alter or suspend credit, or to change credit terms provided herein, when in it’s sole opinion the financial condition
of the Buyer so warrants. In such case, in addition to any other remedies herein or by law provided, cash payment or satisfactory security from Buyer may be required
by Seller before shipment, or Seller may, at its option, defer further shipments to Buyer until Buyer reestablishes satisfactory credit, cancel the unshipped portion of the
order without any liability for failure to ship, or make shipments to Buyer on a prepayment or COD basis. Payments made by trade acceptances, notes, securities,
postdated checks, etc., are unacceptable unless first approved in writing by Seller.
18. REMEDIES - The rights and remedies provided Seller herein shall be cumulative, and in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law or equity.
Seller’s failure to insist upon strict performance of any provision of the Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Seller’s rights or remedies, nor a waiver by
Seller of any subsequent default by the Buyer in performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this Agreement.
19. DISPUTES - Any action to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement or arising out of this Agreement shall be brought and maintained exclusively in the
principal trial court in the state and county in which Seller’s principal offices are located or in the Federal District Court for the District in which Seller’s principal offices
are located. Buyer and Seller each irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees not to commence any action, suit, or proceeding
except in such courts. Buyer and Seller irrevocably and unconditionally waive, and agree not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim, or otherwise,
in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement (a) any claim that is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any
reason other than the failure lawfully to serve process, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process
commenced in such courts, and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by law, that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in any such court is in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the
venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper, or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. The laws of the
state in which Seller’s principal offices are located, other than the conflict of law provisions, shall govern the formation, performance and construction of this
Agreement.
20. ASSIGNMENT - Buyer may not assign this Agreement, or any portion thereof without the express prior written consent of Seller. Subject always to the foregoing,
this Agreement insures to the benefit of, and is binding upon, the heirs, legatees, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto, and in no
event shall assignment relieve Buyer of liability for performance of the obligations imposed by this Agreement.
21. CONFORMANCE WITH LAW - Buyer assumes all responsibility for conformance of the goods with laws, rules, regulations and ordinances of any governmental
or quasi-governmental agency applicable to the use or operation of the goods.
22. ENTIRE AGREEMENT - This Agreement shall constitute the entire understanding of the parties with reference to the subject matter hereof, and it is agreed that
there are no understandings, promises, representations or agreements, whether oral or written, heretofore entered into between Seller and Buyer which have any
force or effect. This Agreement may be amended only by a writing signed by the parties. No agent, employee, or representative of Seller has any authority to bind
Seller to any affirmation, promise, representation or warrant concerning the goods, and any such affirmation, promise, representation or warranty shall be of no force
or effect unless set forth in this Agreement.

3.2 Cavitation and NPSH/NPSP
Cavitation
Cavitation is defined as the formation and subsequent collapse of bubbles in a liquid stream due to localized
pressure falling below the liquid’s vapor pressure. In order to understand this definition, some background
information is required.
Vapor pressure is the pressure at which a liquid converts to gas, or the reverse thereof, at a given tempera-
ture. Since the vapor pressure changes with temperature, a curve can be established for a particular sub-
stance showing its vapor pressure at any temperature between the triple point (where the substance exists
simultaneously as a solid, liquid, and gas) and the critical point (above which the substance cannot exist as a
liquid). All substances have a vapor pressure curve, each one unique to its particular substance. The vapor
pressure curve is also called the saturation or equilibrium curve since the substance is at saturation and in
equilibrium between the liquid and gas phases if on the curve. The vapor pressure curves for commonly
pumped cryogenic liquids are provided in paragraph 3.3 following.
If a liquid’s condition is such that it is on or very near its vapor pressure curve, any drop in pressure, or rise in
temperature, or any combination of these, will tend to cause the liquid to boil. This boiling usually starts on a
surface in the liquid (such as a pump housing wall, cylinder or impeller) or some impurity particle (such as a
piece of frozen carbon dioxide) in the liquid.
In a cryogenic pumping system, the fluid being pumped is almost always very near its vapor pressure curve
as it enters the suction port of the pump, where the pressure is at its lowest point. If the pressure is too low
for the temperature of the liquid at that point, small bubbles will form at that location. The bubbles occupy
more volume than the liquid from which they formed; this transient condition causes the pressure to rise
again, thus causing some of the bubbles to collapse back into liquid. This sequence of events is called cavi-
tation.
CPWS 31
M-3
For Rev. 1
Cavitation has two effects on a pump:

One, the collapse of the bubbles causes shock waves to develop which can damage the pump with pitting
and erosion.
Two, the bubbles (being gas) cannot be pumped. If a sufficient number of them exist, the pump will cease to
operate correctly and flow through the pump will stop or be significantly reduced.
Cavitation can be avoided or corrected by either increasing the pressure at the supply source (thereby in-
creasing subcooling and getting farther from the vapor pressure curve) or by increasing the return line flow (if
applicable) which will lower the liquid temperature at the pump suction due to the increased flow rate (lower
heat leak per unit of liquid).
Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH)

Net Positive Suction Pressure (NPSP)
Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) and Net Positive Suction Pressure (NPSP) are very similar terms with
essentially identical meanings. NPSH is usually used with centrifugal pumps while NPSP is usually used
with positive displacement pumps. In the remainder of this paragraph, only NPSH will be used but it also
applies to NPSP.
NPSH can be defined as the difference between the actual pressure and the vapor pressure of the liquid at
the pump suction port. The larger the difference, the more NPSH or subcooling exists.
Cryogenic liquid stored in a supply source vessel inherently will gain heat from the ambient regardless of the
amount or quality of the vessel’s insulation. Therefore, if sufficient time is allowed to elapse, the liquid in the
tank will warm up to the temperature required to be on the vapor pressure curve – at which point the liquid in
the vessel will begin to boil. If the vessel’s vent valve(s) are closed, the pressure will rise in concert with the
temperature, thus always staying on the vapor pressure curve. This boiling liquid is said to be “saturated”
and there is no difference between the actual pressure and the vapor pressure (no NPSH). Since the pres-
sure at the pump suction must be lower than the pressure in the vessel (if there is no static head) in order to
cause liquid flow, it is impossible to pump a liquid that is saturated in the vessel.
To achieve prime and to prevent cavitation, some NPSH must be provided to the pump. The amount of min-
imum NPSH varies with the size, type and make of pump, and is generally indicated on the nameplate.
The NPSH can be provided by static head (that is, elevation of the supply vessel above the pump suction),
and/or by building a temporary and artificial pressure in the supply vessel with a pressure buildup coil to
achieve subcooling. The artificial pressure must be maintained throughout the pumping cycle to insure
proper and efficient pump operation.
If the pumping cycle continues for an extended period of time, it may become impossible to maintain the
subcooling by the addition of more vessel pressure since eventually the vessel’s maximum pressure will be
reached. Should this occur it will become necessary to stop pumping operations, vent the supply vessel to
atmospheric pressure and allow it to come to equilibrium, and restart the pump cycle again with renewed
subcooling in the vessel.

Intended use
The purpose of an ACD centrifugal pump is to transfer a cryogenic liquid from a source of supply to a receiv-
ing vessel or system. A centrifugal type pump is generally chosen over other types if the desired flow rate is
relatively high while the pressure rise (or head) is relatively low. Centrifugal pumps are inherently reliable
and long-lived due to their mechanical simplicity.
ACD centrifugal pumps are generally driven by an electric motor that is connected to the pump either in di-
rect drive or through a speed increasing device (such as a gearbox or belt drive) if substantially higher
speeds are required for the particular installation. The electric motor may also have a speed controller
(VFD).
Figure 4-1 depicts a gearbox-driven pump on top and a direct-drive pump on the bottom.

4.2 Safety equipment components
Safety equipment components of a centrifugal pumping system

Several components of safety equipment are required for the completed installation of an ACD centrifugal
pump; most of these components are not part of the pump itself and thus not normally supplied by ACD as
noted in the following list:
Suction line pressure relief valve
Discharge line pressure relief valve
Suction filter
Motor overload protection
Control system
If the pump drive system includes either a gearbox or a belt drive, ACD provides personnel protective devic-
es (guards) for the gears or belts.
Depending on the specific type of pump and the installation, several optional components are available in-
cluding:
Temperature sensor PT100 (cool-down ready)
Filter (protection against particles or dirt at suction side)
EMERGENCY-STOP control unit (at the control cabinet)
Differential pressure switch (protection against dry running)
Leak detection temperature probe
Purged seal with Nitrogen gas (e.g. for flammable liquid gases)
Motor overload protection
Bearing heaters
Complete skid mounted assembly
Integration into the control system

The pump assembly is intended for use within a system. It does not have its own control system or an au-
tonomous emergency shutdown function.
The emergency shutdown device(s) must be connected so that during interruption of power supply, or activa-
tion of power supply after interruption, hazardous situations for personnel and/or property are eliminated.

Drive Systems
An ACD centrifugal pump is normally driven by an electric or hydraulic motor through one of several
different available drive systems. Depending on the application, the pump may be driven directly by
the motor or through a speed-increasing gear box or belt box. The gear box is generally used for very
high speeds and heavy loads while the belt box, which uses toothed belts and sprockets, is used for
more moderate speeds and loads.
ACD centrifugal pumps that are direct driven by the motor are generally mounted on the motor face
using an intermediate housing. Pumps driven by gear or belt boxes are mounted on those units, also
with an intermediate housing. Pumps may also be foot-mounted in which case various other drive
methods, including Power Take Off (PTO) for mobile applications, may be used.

tor/gear box driven pump (middle), and an electric motor/gear box driven pump (bottom).

4.3.2 Cold / fluid end (Pump)
Functional description
A centrifugal pump consists of a rotating impeller contained within a stationary housing. If the pump has only
one impeller, it is described as a single stage pump. Pumps may have multiple stages (that is, multiple im-
pellers) depending on the final pressure or head required at the pump discharge port.
The stationary housing incorporates a suction port at the center of the housing face opposite the shaft. The
discharge port is located on the periphery of and tangent to the housing radius. The housing internal circum-
ferential shape, called a volute, has a continuously increasing cross-sectional area as the discharge port is
approached in the direction of impeller rotation.
With the impeller rotating at design speed, the liquid to be pumped enters the suction port and enters the
center of the impeller (called the “eye”). The rotation of the impeller causes the liquid at the eye to travel
along the impeller’s blades while gaining speed due to the centrifugal force. The liquid leaves the impeller at
a very high speed. The liquid then enters the volute which, due to its increasing area and volume along the
liquid’s path, converts most of the liquid’s kinetic energy (speed) into potential energy (pressure or head).
Lastly, a critical component of a centrifugal pump is the “shaft seal“ which prevents the liquid from escaping
the pump casing at the shaft penetration. Variations are also available in types of shaft seals depending
again on the application. Shaft seals may be standard mechanical seals, dry gas seals, non-contacting gas
seals, labyrinth seals, or dual labyrinth seals. As an option, seal gas purge systems are available for most of
these types of seals.
Figure 4-3 identifies the pump (cold / fluid end) in the electric motor/gear box driven version (top) and the
electric motor/close-coupled direct drive version (bottom).

4.4 Hazard area
General area
Seal plane
Relief valve discharge
Uninsulated lines
The general hazard area around the pump and the pressure components is two meters (Figure 4-4).
Several specific hazardous areas exist in the installation of any pump in cryogenic liquid service. These areas
include the following:
Seal plane. In the event of a shaft seal failure, cryogenic liquid may be sprayed in a radial direction in (or
near) the vertical plane of the point where the shaft enters the housing. Particular attention should be paid
to the seal condition at all times while the pump is cold (operating or not). Personnel should not linger un-
necessarily in the seal plane.
Relief valve discharge. Any cryogenic relief valve discharge area is hazardous if personnel can be ex-
posed to liquid (or cold gas) in the event of a discharge from the relief valve.
Uninsulated lines. Uninsulated lines at pump suction and discharge, and the pump housing itself, may be
cold enough to cause condensation (liquefaction) of air on the outer surfaces. The condensate thus formed
and dripping from the lines is approximately 36% oxygen, considerably higher than normal air (21% oxy-
gen). Any combustible or flammable material in or near this condensate will have a greatly reduced flash
point temperature. For this reason the areas surrounding the pump and its uninsulated areas of piping
should be very clean and the surface should not be flammable (for example, no asphalt). This condensate
is most noticeable in liquid nitrogen service due to its temperature frequently being below the condensation
point of air.

4.5 Interfaces
Interface description
Interfaces include the suction and discharge ports, electrical connections to the motor, and seal gas connec-
tions (if applicable). The following points should be considered regarding these interfaces:
Suction and discharge ports. On most ACD centrifugal pumps, these interfaces are flange faces match-
ing standards as shown on the applicable installation drawing. Gaskets used when connecting to these
ports must be compatible both with the pump housing material and with the liquid being pumped. Any
loads imposed on the pump housing by the attached piping lines must be within the limitations shown on
the installation drawing.
The smallest pumps have threaded ports. These ports also have load limitations as shown on the instal-
lation drawing. If the thread is a tapered pipe thread, the connection must include a compatible thread
tape (TFE) and/or lubricating paste (also TFE). Do not exceed allowable torque when attaching pipe fit-
tings to these ports.
Electrical power. Electrical power connections to the motor must be made in accordance with the motor
manufacturer’s instructions and also in accordance with local governing codes. The power supply must
agree with the motor nameplate voltage and have ampacity (current capacity) at least 20% above motor
nameplate Full Load Amps (FLA). Terminal boxes (Figure 4-5) are located on the electric motor.
Seal gas. If the pump includes a seal gas purge system, the installation must include a source of seal
gas supply connected to the purge system inlet. The purge gas composition, pressure, and flow capabil-
ity must meet the requirements as shown in the literature accompanying the purge system.

5 Packaging, Off-loading and Storage
The installation and commissioning are usually carried out by the operator or through an
authorized organization.
It is possible that the operator or the operator’s maintenance personnel may be required to
handle packaging including pump assemblies and/or components during the installation or in
normal use. Therefore, the instructions listed below must always be considered.
5.1 Safety instructions
Overhead loads
WARNING!
Danger to life posed by overhead loads!
Loads can pivot out and fall down during lifting processes. This can result in serious injuries or
even death.
Never walk under or in the pivot range of overhead loads.
Only move loads under supervision, using
permitted lifting gear and stops with sufficient bearing
capacity.
Do not use torn or chafed lifting gear (such as cables and belts).
Do not position lifting gear like cables and belts on sharp edges and corners, do not knot
and do not twist.
When leaving the workplace lower the load.
Off-center center of gravity
WARNING!
Risk of injury posed by falling or tilting packaging pieces!
Packaging pieces can have an off-center center of gravity. With incorrect orientation of the
lifting gear, the packaging piece can tilt and fall. Serious injuries can be caused by falling or
tilting packaging pieces.
Observe markings and information on center of gravity on the packaging pieces.
During transport with a crane, orient the crane hook so that it is situated above the center of
gravity of the packaging piece.
Carefully raise the packaging piece and observe whether it tilts. If necessary, change the
adjustment of the lifting gear or hook location.

Pivoting out transport piece
WARNING!
Risk of injury posed by pivoting out transport piece!
During transport with a crane, the transport piece can pivot out and cause serious injuries and
significant property damage.
Make sure that during transport no persons, objects or obstacles are situated in the pivot
range of the transport piece.
Improper transport
NOTE!
Property damage caused by improper transport!
During improper transport, transport pieces can fall or collapse. Significant property damage
can occur.
During offloading of the transport pieces upon delivery and during internal transport, proceed
carefully and observe the symbols and instructions on the package.
Only use the proposed lift points.
Only remove packaging right before assembly.
5.2 Delivery inspection

Upon receipt, check the delivery immediately for completeness and transport damage.
In case of externally recognizable transport damage proceed as follows:
Do not accept delivery or only accept it with reservations.
Note the scope of the damage on the transport documents or on the delivery note of the shipper.
Initiate a claim.
Claim any deficiency as soon as it is recognized. Damage compensation claims can only be
made within the valid claim deadlines.
5.3 Packaging
For transport
The individual packaging pieces are to be packed according to the expected transport conditions. Only envi-
ronmentally safe materials may be used for packaging.
50 CPWS
M-5
For Rev. 1
Pallets and packaging wood must be heat treated according to IPPC regulation (ISPM No. 15) so that no
pests can be brought into other countries via wood or wood packaging.
The packaging should protect the individual components from transport damage, corrosion and other dam-
age up until they are assembled. Consequently, do not destroy the packaging and only remove it right before
assembly.
Handling of packaging materials

Dispose of packaging material in accordance with the legal provisions of local regulations.
NOTE!
Hazard to the environment posed by incorrect disposal!
Packaging materials are valuable raw materials and in many cases can be reused or usefully
processed and recycled. Improper disposal of packaging materials can cause environmental
hazards.
Dispose of packaging materials in an environmentally sound manner.
Observe disposal regulations. If necessary, commission a specialist with disposal.
5.4 Off-loading (from delivery truck)
Lifting points
The eyebolts are used for lifting the pump.
In case of a skid, the eyebolts to be used as lift devices are screwed to the base frame and serve for lifting of
the pump.
In addition a secure/safe sling can be used for better handling.
5.5 Storage
Storage of packaging pieces

Store packaging pieces under the following conditions:
Do not store outdoors.
Store dry and free of dust.
Protect against solar radiation.
Avoid mechanical vibrations.
Storage temperature: 15 to 35°C.

Electrical installation
DANGER!
See paragraph 2.5.2 “Hazards posed by electrical power”.
Liquefied gases and oxygen deficient atmosphere
DANGER!
Danger due to liquefied gases and oxygen deficient atmosphere!
See paragraph 2.5.4 “Hazard posed by liquefied gases”.
Cryogenic surfaces
DANGER!
Risk of injury from cryogenic surfaces!
See paragraph 2.5.6 “Hazards posed by cryogenic and high temperatures”.
Improper installation and first startup
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to improper installation and initial startup!
During installation and initial start-up of a pump assembly, special safety instructions and
precautions apply in addition to those provided elsewhere in this manual. Improper installation
and initial startup can lead to serious injuries and significant property damage.
These special safety instructions include the following:
Before beginning work ensure there is sufficient clearance to other objects.
Carefully handle open sharp-edged components.
Ensure order and cleanliness in the installation area! Components and tools lying loosely on
or around each other can cause accidents.
If the pump assembly (motor, drive, and pump) is to be lifted, appropriate methods and lifting
points are to be used. Lifting eyes on the pump or drive mechanism (if provided) are not to be
used for lifting the entire assembly. Direct-drive pump assemblies may use the motor lifting
eyes as lift points. Otherwise, specific lifting instructions are provided in Appendix B.
CPWS 53
For CP-S
Rev. 1
System cleanliness. If the pump and related system are intended to contain liquid oxygen,
special cleanliness is required; see paragraph 2.5.4 for liquid oxygen cleanliness guidelines.
Install components correctly. Maintain prescribed screw-tightening sequences and torques.
Secure components so that they do not fall out or collapse.
Workmanship. For a safe installation, only personnel qualified in the various trades (welding,
brazing, pipefitting, electrical, and inspection), using proper tools, should be authorized to per-
form the installation tasks.
Local Codes. Comply with all local codes that apply and have jurisdiction over the various as-
pects of the pump installation.
Installation drawing. Fully comply with any safety requirements noted on the installation draw-
ing (Appendix B).
Ensure the following before initial startup:
- Make sure that all installation work has been carried out and completed in accordance
with the information and instructions in this instruction manual.
- Make sure that no persons are in the hazard areas at startup.
6.2 Site requirements

Guidelines
The installation site should be carefully chosen and prepared with the following general guidelines:
Outdoors, weather protected. The pump must be located outdoors. Protection from rain or snow will
increase pump reliability and availability. Ventilation must not be impaired. There must be adequate es-
cape routes and free access to first aid and fire protection equipment.
Level concrete foundation. A raised concrete pad should be provided upon which the pump assembly is
to be mounted. During operation and after shutdown, a large quantity of water will be present due to melt-
ing of frost and ice from pump and piping. A raised pad will ensure that this water will drain away from
pump at all times. The pad must be level within 0.5 cm per linear meter in any direction, or as required by
the installation drawing.
Atmosphere. The ambient air in which the pump is to be installed must be non-corrosive to pump as-
sembly materials. Salt air or salt water spray are particularly to be avoided.
Power supply. The power supply must be adequate for the intended service of the pump assembly. If
the pump is electric motor driven, electric power of the correct voltage and frequency, with current (am-
peres) capability of motor Full Load Amps (FLA) plus 20%, or more, must be available. If the motor has a
standard across-the-line motor starter, the power supply must be capable of momentarily supplying cur-
rent six (6) times FLA in order to start the motor. A soft start or VFD controlled motor does not have this
last requirement.
Pumps driven by other means must also have adequate power supplied in whatever form is required,
whether hydraulic or mechanical (PTO).
54 CPWS
For CP-S
Rev. 1
Location relative to liquid supply source. For best operation, the pump should be located as horizontally
close as possible to the liquid supply source and vertically as far below it as possible. This horizontal lo-
cation will provide the shortest and straightest suction piping which minimizes heat leak (heat gain from
surrounding atmosphere) and friction losses while the vertical location will provide the greatest possible
static head to the pump suction for lowest NPSH (see Module 3).
Dedicated liquid supply source connection. If the pump is to be connected to a liquid supply port on a
storage tank, best results will be obtained if the port selected is dedicated to the pump suction with no
other services or duties connected. Other services such as economizers and/or pressure buildup coils
cause severe disruptions in flow to the pump suction and will cause loss of prime needlessly.
Cleanliness. The site must be clean with no loose debris, trash, garbage, or other material not necessary
to the safe installation and operation of the pump within 2 meters. The site should either be paved with
concrete or covered in clean gravel or crushed rock. If the pump is intended to be placed in liquid oxygen
service, no flammable materials should be stored or used within 20 meters of the pump and the site near
the pump must not be paved with asphalt or any other combustible material.
6.3 Installation
Guidelines
For successful operation of the pump, the installer must comply with the guidelines listed below.
Suction piping. The suction piping design and installation is of paramount importance to the
operation of the pump. Because the liquid being pumped is extremely cold, and must remain
so in order to successfully pump it, every means possible to limit heat gain into the liquid flow-
ing to the pump suction and maintain subcooling (see Module 3) must be taken. Gas and liq-
uid traps must be avoided by designing the suction piping to have a continuous slope down-
wards towards the pump suction. The use of tees, elbows, and other fittings must be mini-
mized since they cause relatively high head loss; tees are especially unsuitable because they
automatically cause a gas or liquid trap in addition to the head loss. The line must be sized
accurately for the design flow; if it is too small, the head loss will be excessive and if too large
the dwell time for the liquid will be greater than necessary, causing excessive heat leak. The
line must be adequately supported and consideration must be given to the thermal loads that
will be imposed as the line cools from ambient temperature down to operating temperature. If
a flexible hose section is utilized as recommended (see Flange loads and piping alignment be-
low), it must incorporate a smooth bore lining fabricated from TFE hose that runs the full length
of the section in order to maintain NPSH. If connecting to a storage tank, a dedicated liquid
supply port should be used (see 6.2 preceding).
Return piping (if applicable). Installations in which the pump is connected to a liquid supply
vessel should include a return line connected from the pump discharge back to the storage
vessel ullage space through the vessel’s vent system. This return line acts as a recirculation
line, allowing pump startup under low discharge head for easier priming. This piping should be
designed similar to the suction piping with a continuous slope upwards from the pump back to
the tank with no liquid or gas traps.
CPWS 55
For CP-S
Rev. 1
Flange loads and piping alignment. It is highly recommended that the piping connecting to the
pump suction and discharge ports incorporate short flexible hose sections immediately adja-
cent to the pump ports. These flexible hose sections will decouple the pump from the piping so
that no piping loads will be placed on the pump flanges or ports and simultaneously prevent
pump vibrations from entering the rigid piping systems. If it is not possible to utilize flexible
hose sections, the pipe flanges or fittings that mate to the pump flanges or ports must be
aligned both with regard to centerline and to parallelism. Loads must not exceed those shown
on the installation drawing provided in Appendix B.
Insulation. The suction line must be insulated to the maximum extent possible. The line must
be insulated along its entire length including all valves and connections. Insulation of the pump
housing is not necessary although some benefit may be gained by insulating the pump suction
flange or port. Insulation absolutely must include vapor barriers to prevent the ingress of mois-
ture which will destroy the effectiveness of the insulation. The quality (k factor) of the insula-
tion cannot be overemphasized; vacuum jacketing for the suction line will provide the best op-
eration but if it is not chosen, a minimum of 8 cm fiberglass insulation thickness with vapor bar-
rier and jacketing should be used.
The return line (if applicable) and discharge line do not require insulation for proper operation
but it may be necessary to reduce personnel hazards from touch and slippery flooring due to
moisture accumulation.
Valves. Suction line isolation valves, in addition to being constructed and cleaned for cryo-
genic service, must be selected for minimum head loss (maximum Cv). The best valves are full
bore ball or gate types. This valve is never to be used for throttling flow. Only one valve
should be installed in the line, as close to the liquid supply port as possible. Only one valve,
similar in design to the suction line isolation valve, should be incorporated into the return line (if
installed). A pump discharge isolation valve should be provided in the discharge piping. It
must also be designed and constructed for cryogenic duty and may, in some applications, be
used for throttling the flow.
Relief valves. Any piping line or pump that can be isolated by valves with liquid still present
must have at least one relief valve incorporated to prevent catastrophic overpressure as the
liquid boils off into gas. The relief valve should be installed on the pump discharge piping
(where the tee causes minimal flow disruption) and set at a pressure that will protect the pump
housing and all affected piping. Capacity of the relief valve only needs to accommodate the
rate of boiloff; thus the relief valve may be relatively small in size. If required, an additional re-
lief valve of adequate capacity should be installed on the pump discharge to protect from over-
pressure during operation.
Cleanliness. Covers are provided for the suction and discharge ports on the pump as well as
any other fluid connections as applicable. Covers must also be used on all piping. Covers
should not be removed until immediately prior to connection of piping to pump to maintain
cleanliness of the pump and system. Prior to connection, visually check ports and pipes to ver-
ify that there are no obstructions or foreign material (desiccant bags, for example).
Purging. After all piping is complete and connected, the system should be purged with dry
nitrogen gas to ensure that moisture from ambient air is removed. Any moisture remaining in
the system will cause ice to form during cooldown and operation; the ice may cause obstruc-
tion to flow and/or damage to the pump.
56 CPWS
For CP-S
Rev. 1
Electrical. If an electric motor is the driver, the electrical connections must be properly made
at the motor terminal housing after performing a megohmmeter (“Megger”) test to ensure the
motor’s insulation is dry and in good condition. Wiring and cabling must be selected for ade-
quate size and insulation based on the anticipated current load and allowable temperature rise.
Comply with all local and regional applicable codes.
Bolting and fastening. Do not tighten bolts fastening pump to pad or skid to final torque until
the first time pump has been cooled to operating temperature. This will minimize stresses on
piping and pump housing.
6.4 Final assembly checks

Initial tests and inspections
Personnel: Qualified mechanical technicians
Protective equipment: Hearing protection

Safety shoes
Safety goggles
After the installation is mechanically and electrically complete, the following checks and inspections must be
performed prior to initial startup:
1. Inspect system. Check all piping and connections for correct connection and tightness.
2. Pressure test. The entire piping system and pump must be pressure tested, using dry, inert, ambient
temperature gas (nitrogen is acceptable) up to the full operating pressure plus 10% (or more if required
by local applicable codes). No external leakage or structural deformities are allowed.
NOTE!
ACD supplied components are factory certified and do not require pressure testing. Only
the field installed piping and customer-supplied equipment, including final field connections
to the pump and/or pump skid components, require pressure testing.
3. Auxiliary equipment. If a gearbox drive is included in the pump assembly, verify that it is ready to oper-
ate with proper lubricating oil installed and all subsystems complete. If a beltbox is included, verify that
the belt is properly aligned and tensioned. In either case, verify that all covers and guards are properly
reinstalled. If a seal gas purge system is included, verify that the system is connected to a source of
purge gas and the system is complete, leak-free and ready to operate.
4. Pump rotation. The driver should be energized momentarily to check for proper direction of rotation.
5. Cold check. After successfully performing the pressure test preceding, the pump and its piping should
be cooled down to operating temperature by opening the suction, discharge, and return valves and in-
specting for any deformation due to contraction of the piping. Again, there must be no external leakage.

Control system
NOTE:
The centrifugal pump is installed into a complete pumping installation that incorporates all the
various controls into one system.
When incorporating the pumping unit into a complete system with separate automatic controls,
care must be taken to insure that all the local regulations and standards are followed. The
control logic must be configured so that no hazardous situation can arise due to incorrect
operation and that an automatic operational sequence is installed that prevents human error.
Actions and observations

The following personnel qualification and protective equipment are absolutely necessary for work with and in
the vicinity of the pump:

Safety shoes
Safety goggles
Certain actions and observations should be taken by the operator during pump operation to ensure safe con-
ditions are maintained. These actions and observations include:
CPWS 59
For CP-S
Rev. 1
Observe operation. Frequently observe the pump and drive mechanism for proper operation. Check for
any unusual noise, vibration, excessive heat at bearings, or any other condition that is not normal. Check
for leaks at all fittings, connections, and seals. Verify that pump is well primed with normal discharge
pressure and normal valve settings.
Rotating equipment. Even though every precaution has been taken to protect personnel from moving
parts, the operator must ensure that all personnel in the area surrounding an operating pump are aware of
the potential dangers of rotating equipment.
Cryogenic surfaces. The operator must ensure that all personnel in the area surrounding an operating
pump are aware that the exposed pipe and pump surfaces are extremely cold and may cause injury if
touched. In addition, if air condensation occurs (see Section 4.4), the operator must be aware of the po-
tential danger and take any necessary steps to minimize the risk of fire.
Maintenance. No maintenance should be performed while the pump is operating. All maintenance is to
be performed when the pump and related piping have been depressurized, warmed to ambient tempera-
ture, and energy source(s) locked out.
Logs. The operator should maintain logs of the pump operation. Logs should include time and date of
entries, pump operating data such as suction and discharge pressure, cumulative operating hours, and
any other pertinent data as desired (such as supply tank level and pressure, receiving system data, etc.
A “remarks” section should be included in the logs that allow narrative description of any observed ab-
normalities.
7.2 Preparation for startup
Checklist before putting pump into operation

Prior to a normal pump startup, certain actions are to be taken to ensure successful operation:
Liquid supply source. Verify that the supply source has sufficient liquid available to complete the antici-
pated duration of pump operation. Also verify that the liquid condition (degree of subcooling, see section
3) is adequate to provide the required pump NPSH. If necessary, raise the pressure over the liquid in the
supply source to temporarily increase subcooling.
Liquid receiver. Verify that the vessel or system that is to receive the pumped liquid is ready to receive
with valves properly aligned and sufficient capacity available.
Pump assembly. Inspect the pump assembly to verify that pump is in operating condition. Verify that the
energy source is connected (or ready to be connected).
Cooldown
If the supply and receiver are prepared for pump operation and the pump itself is also prepared, initiate
cooldown by opening the suction and return line valves. The discharge valve should remain closed unless a
discharge check valve is included in the system. Liquid will begin to flow through the stationary pump to
bring piping and pump down to operating temperature.

7.3 Normal start up
General procedure
If preparation for startup (Section 7.2 preceding) has been completed, the pump should be ready for startup.
The following general procedure is to be used:
1. Check for prime. The pump is momentarily started and discharge pressure is observed. If an appro-
priate discharge pressure is observed, indicating that the pump has primed, the discharge valve can
be opened while simultaneously closing the return line valve. If prime is not achieved within five (5)
seconds, the pump is to be stopped and cooldown is allowed to continue. Adjustment of pressure in
supply source may be required to increase sub-cooling. If pump still does not prime within five se-
conds and this is the initial startup, check motor rotation by reversing any two leads at the motor ter-
minal housing after removing power from the system.
2. Normal operation. If prime has been achieved, adjust discharge and return line valves as necessary
to maintain desired discharge pressure and flow. While operating, the pump assembly is to be
checked frequently for continued normal operation. If abnormalities are observed that cannot be re-
moved by valve adjustment, the pump should be stopped and the abnormality investigated. Other-
wise, normal operation may continue until the pumping operation is complete or the operator otherwise
chooses to stop operation.
7.4 Switching ON/OFF
Pumping operation may be stopped and restarted as necessary for the particular installation.
When temporarily stopped, with suction and return valves remaining open, the pump is said to
be in “standby”. If the system includes a discharge check valve, the discharge isolation valve
may remain open; otherwise, it should be shut prior to stopping the pump to prevent backflow.
The pump can remain in standby as long as the frost line on the visible portion of the shaft
remains close (within 2 cm) to the normal operating position. If the frost line approaches too
closely to the drive mechanism or motor, the pump must be completely secured (see Section
7.8) and allowed to warm to ambient. Further operation, in that case, will require preparation
for startup (Section 7.2) prior to restart.
7.5 Check for leaks


Safety shoes
Safety goggles
Prior to and during operation, the pump and its piping system should be frequently checked for leakage.
Particular attention is required at these locations:
CPWS 61
For CP-S
Rev. 1
Flanges
Threaded fittings
Valve packing
Shaft seal
If apparent leakage is observed, the operator must determine whether there is actually a leak or if it is an
instance of air liquefaction (air condensation) causing drips from an exposed surface. This is ascertained by
observing the nature of the apparent leak. If the leak consists of a drip or running liquid, with little or no pres-
sure behind it, that occurs at a low point in the line or on the pump housing and subsequently disappears as
frost covers the surface, the leak is most likely air condensation, not a true leak.
Leakage at mechanical joints such as flanges and fittings, as well as at valve packing, may be repaired in
place after the system is depressurized and warmed to ambient temperature. If leakage is observed at the
pump shaft seal, pump disassembly is required to effect repair.
7.6 Check drive mechanism and motor bearings

Protective equipment: Safety shoes

Hearing protection
Safety goggles
While the pump is operating, the drive mechanism and motor bearings should be occasionally checked for
normal operation. Depending on the drive mechanism employed, the following checks should be made:
Direct drive (close coupled to motor): No checks specific to drive.
Belt box: Observe for unusual noise or vibration. Do not remove belt box covers while in operation.
Gear box: Observe lubrication system for proper pressure, temperature, lubricant level, and absence of
leakage. Observe for unusual noise or vibration. Do not open gear box during operation.
Bearings (motor and drive): Bearing temperatures should be checked using a surface contact thermocouple,
thermistor, or RTD, or a non-contact infra-red (IR) temperature detector. Temperature measurements
should be made and logged soon after initial startup and at regular intervals thereafter, preferably using the
same instrument, to establish normal operating temperatures and to draw attention to any trends.

11 GLOSSARY OF TERMS
TERM DEFINITION
Ampacity The current carrying capacity of an electrical conductor under a

particular set of environmental conditions (such as location, ambi-
ent temperature, and number of conductors bundled together).
Unit of measure is the ampere.
Cavitation The formation and subsequent collapse of bubbles in a liquid
stream due to localized pressure falling below the liquid’s vapor
pressure. See paragraph 3.2 for a discussion of cavitation.
Critical point The end point on the vapor pressure curve above which a sub-
stance cannot exist as a liquid regardless of the pressure applied.
The critical pressure is the pressure required to maintain the liquid
at that point; similarly, the critical temperature is the temperature
required at the critical pressure to achieve equilibrium.
Cryogenic liquids (cryogens) The word cryogenic (adjective) is derived from the Greek kryos,
meaning icy cold, and genes, also Greek, meaning born or be-
coming. A cryogenic fluid is commonly defined as one which
exists as a liquid only below -150° C. The noun form is cryogen.
Equilibrium As used in this manual, equilibrium occurs when a substance is
directly on its vapor pressure curve. In equilibrium, a substance
has equal numbers of atoms or molecules converting from liquid
to gas and back from gas to liquid. Also called saturation.
Head The traditional term for pressure in pump applications. Originally,
in the USA, pump pressures were measured using the height of a
column of water in feet as the reference. This column was called
a “head”. Since pressure equals height of a column multiplied by
the density of the liquid in the column, the referenced head in feet
of water is a different head in the actual liquid being pumped (if
other than water) for a given pressure.
Latent heat of vaporization Latent heat is the heat required to make a substance change
state (phase) with no change in temperature. The addition of
latent heat changes a substance from solid to liquid or liquid to
gas; the subtraction of latent heat causes phase changes in the
opposite direction. Latent heat of vaporization is the specific
amount of heat required to change a unit mass of a substance
from liquid to gas (or the reverse).
Lock out The act of ensuring that electrical power, or other energy source,
is and will remain removed while personnel are working with re-
lated equipment. Generally, the personnel performing the work
will install a personal lock on the access to the energy source that
only they can remove.
CPWS 75
M-11
For Rev. 1
Megohmmeter (“Megger”) First produced by the English company Biddle, the Megger pro-
vides a source of approximately 500 volts DC to be applied
across a circuit’s insulation. The instrument then measures the
leakage current occurring as a result of the applied voltage and
indicates the insulation effectiveness in megohms (106 ohms).
Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) The difference between the actual pressure and the vapor pres-
sure of a liquid at the pump suction port. See paragraph 3.2 for a
discussion of NPSH. This term generally used with non-positive
displacement pumps (such as centrifugal types).
Net Positive Suction Pressure See Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) above. This term gener-
(NPSP) ally used with positive displacement pumps.
Normal Boiling Point The boiling point (temperature) of a liquid at standard atmospheric
pressure. Another way of stating it is the temperature at which
the vapor pressure of a substance is one atmosphere.
Oxygen deficient atmosphere Normal atmospheric air contains 20.8% oxygen. Most standards
consider an oxygen concentration below 19.5% to be deficient for
continuous occupation by personnel.
Pump assembly The pump assembly consists of the pump itself, the driver (elec-
tric motor, hydraulic motor, or mechanical drive), and the interpos-
ing drive unit (belt box or gear box) if one is installed. The pump
assembly does not include any controls or associated valves,
piping, or instrumentation.
Saturation See equilibrium.
Seal, shaft, gas riding The gas riding shaft seal is a non-contacting design that forms a
gas film between the rotating and stationary faces. The film is
generated by vaporizing a small amount of the liquid being
pumped. This design features long seal life since the faces make
contact with each other only when the pump is not running. No
wear occurs during operation.
Seal, shaft, labyrinth (single and Labyrinth shaft seals consist of nesting grooves in both the rotat-
dual) ing and stationary parts. The crests of the stationary grooves are
centered over the roots of the rotating grooves (and vice versa) to
create a close-fitting labyrinth for fluid leakage along the shaft.
Each groove acts like a very small annular orifice, thus creating
an obstacle to the flow and reducing the pressure at the next
groove. This action reduces the leakage to a very small amount.
Labyrinth seals may be of single or dual construction. In single
construction, an external seal gas (usually nitrogen) is introduced
that has a slightly higher pressure than the pressure behind the
impeller. By this means the leakage is stopped completely but a
small amount of the seal gas will leak into the fluid being pumped.
If this is unacceptable, dual labyrinth seals are used in which two
seal gases are used. The primary seal gas, located partway
down the labyrinth seal, is obtained from the liquid being pumped.
The secondary seal gas, which is located near the end of the
labyrinth behind the primary gas entrance, is usually nitrogen. A
76 CPWS
M-11
For Rev. 1
vent is provided from the labyrinth between the primary and sec-
ondary gas entrances. The pressures of the two gases are regu-
lated such that the primary gas will slightly leak into the pump
while the secondary gas, along with a portion of the primary gas,
will escape through the vent from the seal. By this means, the
product being pumped is not contaminated by the seal gas (since
they are both the same fluid) and the vented gas is rendered safe
by the mixture with the secondary gas. The gas pressures are
controlled by differential pressure regulators. The dual system is
usually installed when the pump is in oxygen service.
Labyrinth seals are essentially non-contacting at all times (unless
bearings are worn) and thus have extremely long life. The seal
gas must be supplied prior to startup; in the case of dual seals,
the primary gas must be provided at a pressure above the pump
suction pressure from the product supply source until the pump is
in operation, at which time the primary gas source will become the
pump discharge.
Seal, shaft, mechanical A standard mechanical shaft seal consists of a shaft-mounted
rotating hardened stainless steel ring which continuously bears
against a spring-loaded carbon stationary ring. Both rings are
precision lapped to be very flat (within three helium light bands or
better) so that they effect a seal both statically (pump not running)
and dynamically (pump running). Standard mechanical seals
must be replaced as a complete assembly. This type seal is the
least expensive but has the shortest life due to the constant fric-
tional contact and intolerance of foreign material between the
faces. The friction also generates heat which can adversely affect
NPSH requirements.
Seal, shaft, mechanical, CFS The CFS mechanical seal is similar to the standard mechanical
seal except that the stationary ring is a composite material, not
carbon. The CFS seal has proven to be very reliable, especially if
dry running occurs (pump running without fluid in it or severe cavi-
tation) or if ice formation exists in the seal.
Static head Head (or pressure) due to vertical location. A vertical pipe con-
taining a liquid will have a greater pressure at the bottom than at
the top due to the weight of the liquid. This pressure is called
static because it does not vary with the gas pressure over the
liquid but acts in addition to the gas pressure. In pump applica-
tions, static head (if positive) aids in ease of prime and efficient
pump operation.
Subcooling If the temperature of a substance is below the temperature of the
vapor pressure at any given pressure, it is said to be subcooled.
The farther away from the vapor pressure curve, the more
subcooling exists. Subcooling can also be achieved by increasing
the pressure above the vapor pressure at any given temperature.
Tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) or A fluorocarbon compound. Virgin TFE or PTFE in tape or paste
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) form is oxygen compatible and serviceable at cryogenic tempera-
tures.

Trap (gas or liquid) For liquid, a U-shaped area in a pipe in which the line dips, then
returns to essentially the same elevation as existed before the
dip. A liquid trap not only adds unnecessary frictional pressure
loss, it is a collection point for solid contaminants. An inverted U-
shape forms a trap for gas causing disruptions to liquid flow and
increased heat leak into the pipe.
Triple point The other end point on the vapor pressure curve at which a sub-
stance can simultaneously exist as a solid, liquid, and gas.
Vapor pressure See paragraph 3.2 for a discussion of vapor pressure.

OPERATION, AND TROUBLESHOOTING
TC-21J Description The Model TC-21J pump assembly is a single-stage, foot
mounted pump that is jackshaft driven by belt or other drive
transmission supplied by the customer. No drive or motor is
included. The TC-21J pump is capable of flows from
approximately 20 to 200 gpm (75 to 750 l/m) and discharge
heads from less than 300 to more than 1000 feet (90 to more
than 305 meters) depending on the speed of the pump drive.
The standard TC-21J features all bronze construction with pump
housings, impeller (and inducer if included), and intermediate
housing all made from bronze with a stainless steel shaft. This
construction makes the pump ideal for use in liquid oxygen
service in addition to other cryogenic liquids. The TC-21J is also
available, as an option, with stainless steel backplate and
intermediate housing for use in cryogenic liquids other than
oxygen; this construction reduces the conduction of heat away
from the bearing housing, thus ensuring warmer lubricant and
bearings during prolonged operation.
The shaft seal is a mechanical type having a composite face. A
slinger is incorporated on the shaft between the shaft seal and
the adjacent bearing to protect the bearing in the event of a seal
failure.
The TC-21J pump is supported by an intermediate housing which
in turn is supported by the bearing housing assembly. The
intermediate housing is a casting with machined faces for
mounting of the pump and bearing housing at opposite ends.
The two faces are connected by struts which have relatively
small cross-sectional area. This construction results in open
spaces which allow visual inspection of shaft penetration into the
pump backplate as well as limiting heat conduction from the
bearing housing into the pump.
The bearing housing assembly supports the shaft with three ball
bearings with a generous span and size. Two of the bearings are
nearly adjacent to each other at the drive end of the shaft so as
to maximize side load capacity. If the pump assembly is to be
used in liquid oxygen service, the bearings are lubricated with an
oxygen – compatible grease. A spring-loaded lip seal is installed
at each end of the shaft to seal in the bearing lubricant and keep
foreign material out. An available option is a magnetic pickup for
measuring shaft speed. The shaft includes standard size
keyways at each end.

lifting the entire assembly. Direct-drive pump
assemblies may use the motor lifting eyes as lift
points. Otherwise, specific lifting instructions are
provided in Appendix B.
A1-2 CPWS/TC21J/A
For CP-TC21J
Rev. “NC”
System cleanliness. If the pump and related

system are intended to contain liquid oxygen,
special cleanliness is required; see paragraph 2.5.4
for liquid oxygen cleanliness guidelines.
Install components correctly. Maintain prescribed
screw-tightening sequences and torques.
Secure components so that they do not fall out or
collapse.
Workmanship. For a safe installation, only
personnel qualified in the various trades (welding,
brazing, pipefitting, electrical, and inspection), using
proper tools, should be authorized to perform the
installation tasks.
Local Codes. Comply with all local codes that
apply and have jurisdiction over the various aspects
of the pump installation.
Installation drawing. Fully comply with any safety
requirements noted on the installation drawing
(Appendix B).
Ensure the following before initial startup:
- Make sure that all installation work has been
carried out and completed in accordance with
the information and instructions in this
instruction manual.
- Make sure that no persons are in the hazard
areas at startup.
Installation of the TC-21J pump assembly includes: 1) lifting and

mounting to an adequate foundation, 2) connecting the pump
suction and discharge ports to appropriate piping, and 3)
connecting to a suitable drive system.
Lifting. The TC-21J pump assembly is to be lifted by a suitable
sling placed under and around the pump housing and bearing
housing. Do not place sling under or around the shaft.
Mounting. The TC-21J includes a pair of mounting brackets for
foot mounting to a foundation. One bracket is bolted to the drive
end of the bearing housing assembly while the other is bolted to
the pump housing. See the Installation drawing provided in
Appendix B for the exact dimensions, hole size and hole spacing.
The foundation must have adequate strength for the loads
imposed, be well drained, and meet any applicable local codes. If
the installation is a stationary system, the foundation should be a
minimum of 6 inch (15 cm) thick reinforced concrete with a
minimum compressive strength of 3000 psi (20 mPa) and
sufficiently raised from the surrounding area for adequate
condensate drainage. Fastening to the foundation is preferably
CPWS/TC21J/A A1-3
For CP-TC21J
Rev. “NC”
accomplished using cast-in-place anchor bolts meeting ASTM F-

1554 grade 36 (or equivalent) and sized to closely fit the bracket
holes (within 1/8” or 3 mm).
For mobile installations, the mounting should be engineered for
the specific installation. Bolting should be similarly sized as noted
for concrete foundations and should meet SAE Grade 5 or ISO
class 8.8 strength standards.
Mounting bolt nuts and washers should not be tightened until all
piping connections have been made and initial cooldown has
been completed.
Piping connections. See ACD drawing 15262 (Figure A1) for
the components of a typical piping system. The pump assembly
is shipped with covers over the pump ports to maintain internal
cleanliness; do not remove these covers until immediately prior to
making the connections. Piping must be cleaned as described in
Module 6 of this Manual. When making piping connections,
ensure that suction and discharge mating flange faces are parallel
and concentric with the pump ports. All flange bolts at either port
should pass through both flanges and gasket without forcing.
Gaskets may be either bonded fiber type or spiral wound metallic
type. Do not use sheet TFE or PTFE as gasket material since
they exhibit high creep rates.
Piping materials should be selected for the cryogenic service
intended. Austenitic stainless steels and copper both maintain
good physical properties at cryogenic temperatures. Copper-
bearing alloys such as bronze and brass also work well. Copper
and copper alloys are especially suited for liquid oxygen service.
Short flexible lines at the pump port connections are highly
recommended to isolate the piping from any pump vibrations and
to compensate for thermal expansion and contraction. They are
not to be used, however, for correction of piping misalignment.
See the Installation drawing provided in Appendix B for the flange
sizes and locations. Note that the pump housing can be oriented
in any of four positions to position the discharge port as desired
for the specific installation. Suction piping should never be
smaller in diameter than the pump suction port size.
After the initial cooldown of the pump but prior to initial operation,
return to the mounting fasteners and tighten them.
Drive System. The TC-21J is designed to be belt driven with
sprockets and timing belt; sizes depend on the pump speed
desired, the driver speed, and power to be transmitted. Belt drive
systems must be properly aligned and tensioned for maximum
reliability and life. Excessive tension will cause premature
bearing wear while improper alignment will cause belt wear and
possibly damage to flanged sprockets.
An electric motor used for driving the pump assembly must be
adequately sized for the anticipated load and protected for the
environment in which it is mounted. Its control system must
A1-4 CPWS/TC21J/A
For CP-TC21J
Rev. “NC”
include overload protection meeting the requirements of local

governing codes. Prior to installing the belt, check the motor
rotation to verify that pump rotation will be in accordance with the
arrow cast into the pump housing.
The TC-21J may also be driven directly by mechanical means
such as a drive shaft; in this case, ACD engineering should be
consulted for guidance in suitable couplings and allowable loads.
Any drive system must include proper personnel protection. Belt
or shaft guards must be provided that meet local codes.
TC-21J Operation
WARNING!
Do not attempt to operate the pump prior to
completion and cleaning of all piping, purging of
piping and pump, and checking for pump rotation.
WARNING!
If pump is installed for liquid oxygen service and
valve “J” is installed, the discharge area from this
valve must be cleaned for oxygen service with no
flammable substances within 100 feet (30 meters).
CAUTION!
Never operate the pump with no flow. Valves must
be open to allow some flow through pump at all
times when operating.
NOTE!
Never operate the pump without first cooling down
to normal operating temperature. Never operate the
pump if the bearing housing has become
excessively cold (frosted over).
The operating procedures provided here are based on the Typical

Flow Diagram, ACD drawing 15262 (Figure A1).
1. Perform all pre-operational checks. These include the
following as a minimum; there may be others depending on the
specific installation.
a) Verify that the supply source has sufficient liquid for the
anticipated pumping operation.
b) Verify that power is available to the drive system.
c) Verify that receiving system is prepared to receive the
pumped liquid.
CPWS/TC21J/A A1-5
For CP-TC21J
Rev. “NC”
d) Check the current positions of all supply source, receiving

system, and pump piping valves. All pump piping valves
should be closed prior to operation.
2. If the supply source is a storage vessel that has achieved
thermal equilibrium (that is, the liquid contained is boiling at the
current pressure in the vessel), it is necessary to raise the
pressure sufficiently to create the NPSH required by the pump.
Generally, a rise in vessel pressure of 5 to 20 psi (35 to 140 kPa)
above equilibrium pressure will be sufficient depending on the
particular installation. Raise storage vessel pressure by following
these steps:
a) Close valve “I” (Vent valve).
b) Open valve “E” (Pressurizing valve) until desired
pressure is achieved; then close valve. Raise pressure
the minimum required to achieve prime so as to conserve
liquid.
c) Use valve “E” as required to maintain the necessary
pressure rise during the course of pump operation.
d) Pump cooldown (step 3) may be initiated simultaneously
with pressure building.
3. Begin pump cooldown as follows:
a) Fully open valves “A” (Main Suction valve) and “B”
(Priming valve on return line). Pump will begin to cool
due to gravity flow. Note that the pump will act in parallel
with the storage vessel Pressurizer coil, thus assisting in
the vessel pressure rise during the cooldown period.
b) If the optional flow meter is installed, also open valve “D”
(Meter Cool Down valve).
c) If the optional flow meter is installed, but is not to be used
during this particular operation, open valve “F” (Meter
Bypass valve).
d) Valve “J” (Rapid Priming valve) may be used to speed
the cooldown process if necessary but note that use of
this valve is wasteful of liquid. Also see Warning note
above.
e) Allow pump to cool for 5 to 10 minutes or until it appears
that pump has liquid inside.
f) Open valve “G” (Discharge valve). See Caution note
above.
4. Start pump by energizing the driver. If pump does not prime
within 10 seconds, stop pump and continue cooldown, raising
storage vessel pressure if necessary. When pump primes:
a) Slowly close valve “B” while slowly opening valve “C”
(Meter Inlet valve) if optional meter is installed.
b) Close valve “D” if previously opened.
c) Regulate flow by adjusting valve “G”.
d) Continue adjusting storage vessel pressure as necessary
to maintain prime.
e) Note that valve “A” is to remain fully open at all times
A1-6 CPWS/TC21J/A
For CP-TC21J
Rev. “NC”
during pump operation.

5. During the pumping operation, take note of the pressure
differential indicated by Differential Pressure gauge “N” if
installed. A rise in differential pressure over time indicates that
the filter or strainer requires cleaning or replacement.
6. When pumping operation is complete, shut down as follows:
a) Stop pump by de-energizing driver.
b) Close valve “G” and open valve “B”.
c) Close valve “E” (if open) at storage vessel.
d) Close valves as required on receiving system.
e) Open valve “H” (Bleedoff valve) to relieve pressure on
discharge line or hose.
f) Close valve “A”.
g) Close valve “C” (if previously opened). Note meter
reading at this time. If optional meter is installed but not
used, valve “F” may remain open.
h) When frost has disappeared from pump housing, close
valves “B” and “H”.
i) If pressure in supply storage vessel needs to be reduced
after pumping, open valve “I” as required.
j) Verify that all systems are secure.

B8. ATEX – SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (if applicable)

B8.0 Introduction and Applicability
This section containing additional safety instructions in accordance with ATEX requirements applies to any ACD
pump or pump system that is marked by the ‘CE’ and ‘Ex’ symbol, which means it has been designed for use in
potentially explosive atmospheres and conforms to the EC Directive 94/9/EC (‘ATEX’ - ATmosphères
EXplosibles).
Note: Pump models TC-34, TC-34.2, and AC-32 are designed for LNG service, but they do not fall
under the ATEX Directive 94/9/EC because their Submerged Motor Pump design inherently results in
operation that occurs within a liquefied gas environment which is totally air free (thus no fire or
explosion hazard) and they are instrumented to operate in that air free environment.
These safety instructions are provided in addition to the instructions given in other portions of this manual
(principally in Module 2 (“SAFETY”) of this IOM manual and in Appendix A) and are valid for the installation, use
and maintenance of cryogenic pumps marked by the ‘CE’ and ‘Ex’ symbol in areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres.
The user must fully comply with these instructions for use of the pump or pump system. Furthermore, the user
must ensure that only authorized and trained personnel install, operate, inspect and maintain the specific pump or
pump system that is the subject of this manual. The assigned personnel must have appropriate technical training
and knowledge in accordance with ATEX Directive 94/9/EC.
Compliance with the ATEX Directive 94/9/EC requires that ACD have a technical documentation file relative to
this pump or pump assembly. TÜV Rheinland Industrie Service GmbH (D-45130 Essen, Germany) is engaged as
Notified Body for safekeeping the Technical File according to Directive 94/9/EC Annex VIII (for non-electrical
equipment) under the File Registration No. 557/Ex-Ab 2189/14.
B8.1 Labeling

B8.2 Protective measures

Various protective measures are taken in the design and installation of the pump or pump system to comply with
the ATEX Directive 94/9/EC. These protective measures are described in the following paragraphs.
B8.2.0 General protective measures for all cryogenic pumps
All cryogenic pumps or pump systems installed in locations in which the ATEX Directive 94/9/EC is applicable
shall meet the following requirements:
1. The pump or pump system is intended only for pumping liquefied gases at high pressures and low
temperatures in accordance with the pump data sheet(s) located in Section B2 of this Appendix.
2. Operating conditions, ambient conditions, and fluid(s) to be pumped shall be in accordance with the
intended use and pump technical data located in Sections B1 and B2 (respectively) of this Appendix.
3. The pump or pump system must be operated with adequate ventilation.
4. Maintenance actions at the intervals stated in Appendix A, Section 4 (A4) of this IOM manual shall be
performed as prescribed to ensure safe operation (e.g. performing regular checks).
5. Rough handling of the pump, excessive vibration from the installation site, and corrosion of pump
components must be avoided.
6. Never start or operate the pump(s) without having at least one complete fluid flow path, either through
discharge or return line (or both). Also, the complete flow path must be maintained after shutdown until
system has warmed to ambient temperature.
7. Each pump shall have a suction strainer installed to protect against foreign object intrusion into pump.
8. Pump control system(s) installed at the pump site by the end user shall be in accordance with all local
codes, both for components and in installation, that apply for the specific area classification.
9. The pump or pump system shall be properly grounded electrically to dissipate any static charge that may
be generated. Pump skids, if supplied by ACD, include a grounding lug for this purpose.
10. Pump cleanliness shall be maintained including pump surfaces, the area around the pump, and
associated piping and other components to reduce the possibility of ignition.
11. The installation shall be fully compliant with all local codes and regulations applicable to a liquefied
natural gas (LNG) or hydrogen installation.
B8.2.1 Protective measures for LNG cryogenic centrifugal pumps
Installations of cryogenic centrifugal pumps in LNG service shall conform to all requirements listed in B8.2.0
above and the following requirements:
1. “Ready to Start” permissive circuit. To ensure that pump cannot be started when dry or insufficiently
cooled, either a temperature detector or a subcooling detector shall be incorporated in the pump
discharge line to allow pump startup only if pump cooldown has been successfully completed.
2. “Cavitation protection” safety circuit. Similar to the “Ready to Start” circuit, either a temperature detector at
the discharge line or a subcooling detector with pressure differential detection across the pump (from
suction to discharge) shall be incorporated to determine if the pump is cavitating after startup and cause a
shutdown.
3. “Leak detection” safety circuit. Depending on the shaft seal type used in the specific type pump, either
seal purge gas monitoring or temperature detection shall be accomplished to determine if a leak has
developed at the shaft seal.
4. Pump and associated piping shall have relief valve protection at all locations at which cryogenic liquid
could be trapped between isolation valves to prevent excessive pressure rise.
M-12-B8
For Rev. NC
5. Prior to installation and during maintenance, all components shall be protected from contamination. Plug,
cap, or otherwise seal all openings prior to installation and while pump system is disassembled for
maintenance. Store pump in a dry location.
B8.2.2 Protective measures for LNG or LH2 cryogenic reciprocating pumps
Installations of cryogenic reciprocating pumps in LNG or LH2 service shall conform to all requirements listed in
B8.2.0 above and the following requirements:
1. “Ready to Start” permissive circuit. To ensure that pump cannot be started when dry or insufficiently
cooled, either a temperature detector or a subcooling detector shall be incorporated in the pump vent
return line to allow pump startup only if pump cooldown has been successfully completed.
2. “Loss of prime” safety circuit. To ensure that pump does not run under dry conditions, a temperature
detector or sensor shall be installed in the pump discharge line to stop the pump if threshold conditions
are not met after pump has been in operation.
3. “Leak detection” safety circuit. To detect any leakage from the cold end at the interface with the warm
end, means shall be provided to either sense excessively low temperature or, if purge gas is utilized in
the intermediate housing, to sense escape of product fluid by means of on-stream gas analysis. This
safety circuit is to cause pump shutdown if threshold values are not met.
4. Electric drive motors shall incorporate overheating protection utilizing PTC thermistor sensors embedded
in the windings.
5. Intermediate housings (between cold and warm ends) shall have inert gas purge system installed to
prevent explosive gas from accumulating if a malfunction occurs. Inert gas purge shall be continuous
while product fluid is present in pump and the gas shall be exhausted to a safe location such as a vent
stack. If pump includes an intermediate housing with purge ports (Models X9, NDPD, P2K, SLS, and
SGV), the purge kit option shall be installed. Purge gas shall be oil-free dry air or nitrogen for LNG service
and helium for LH2 service. In the latter case (LH2 service), the purge gas must enter the intermediate at
the bottom and exhaust out the top so as to sweep hydrogen gas, if present, upward and out the top vent.
Purge pressure shall never be higher than that specified in Appendix A or the Pump Data Sheet in
Section B2 of this IOM manual for this specific pump.
B8.2.3 Protective measures for cryogenic submerged motor pumps
Installations of cryogenic submerged motor pumps in LNG service shall conform to all requirements listed in
B8.2.0 above and the following requirements:
1. Pump sump and/or casing shall be completely purged with dry nitrogen prior to cooldown and operation.
2. To ensure that pump is completely submerged prior to operation, a temperature detector shall be installed
in the vapor return line.
3. “Cavitation protection” safety circuit. Similar to the “Ready to Start” circuit, a subcooling detector with
pressure differential detection across the pump (from suction to discharge) shall be incorporated to
determine if the pump is cavitating after startup and cause a shutdown.
M-12-B8
For Rev. NC
B8.3 Maintenance and Repair

All cryogenic pumps or pump systems installed in locations in which the ATEX Directive 94/9/EC is applicable
shall be properly maintained and kept in a state of good repair. In particular:
1. Purge the complete system with nitrogen before any maintenance actions!
2. Perform all maintenance actions listed in Section 4 of Appendix A (A4) of this IOM manual. Time
intervals shall be no greater than as shown in the table in A4.
3. Where indicated in A4, repairs and/or maintenance shall be accomplished by ACD or one of its
Authorized Service Centers. If a repair or maintenance action listed in A4 is to be accomplished by an
end user technician, that technician shall be qualified in all respects as detailed in Module 2 of this IOM
manual.
4. During all maintenance actions, all components shall be protected from contamination. Plug, cap, or
otherwise seal all openings prior to installation and while pump system is disassembled for maintenance.
Store pump in a dry location.
