  • Page 4 Handling the Container The XL Series containers are very rugged liquid cylinders. All cryogenic liquid cylinders have an inner container and an outer container with an insulated vacuum space between them. Any abuse (dents, dropping, tip-over, etc.) can affect the integrity of the containers insulation system.

  • Page 5: Operation

    OPERATION The XL-45 will store up to 169 liters of product, the XL-50 up to 181 liters and 200 liters for the XL-55. All three cylinders can deliver either liquid or gas. The following compo- nent and circuit descriptions are pertinent to the operation of all the containers and should be read before attempting operation.

    inner container is vaporized in a heat exchanger which is inside the outer casing. The expanding gas is fed into the upper section of the container to build pressure. The resulting pressure will drive either the liquid or gas deliv- ery system.
  • Page 7 The VENT Valve – This valve controls a line into the head space of the container. It is used during the fill process. The VENT valve acts as a fill point during a pump transfer, or to vent the head space area while liquid is filling the inner container during a pressure transfer fill through the LIQUID valve.
  • Page 8 Increasing Gas Supply Capacity – Two or more liquid containers may be manifolded together. Accessory manifolds are available for use in creating a higher capacity gas supply system. The XL-45/50/55 can supply gas at flow rates up to 350 cfh @ NTP (9.2 cu.m/h @ STP) using only its internal vaporizer.
  • Page 9 Determine Proper Fill Weight 1. Visually inspect the container. Do not attempt to fill containers with broken or missing components. 2. Move the container to a filling station scale and weight it both with and without the fill NOTE: hose attached to determine the weight of the fill line assembly. The difference is the fill The weight calculation line weight.

Fill Hose Kits Taylor-Wharton fill hose kits for the XL-45/50/55 are designed to transfer specific liquefied gases to, or from, the containers. These accessories are comprised of a Fill Tee Assem- bly and a Fill Hose.

Loosen and remove both the tube connections on the pressure building and econo- mizer output sides of the regulator. 4. Remove the regulator from the container by unscrewing the valve body and elbow from the output of the Pressure Building Valve.
  • Page 15 CHECKING CONTAINER PERFORMANCE Cryogenic containers are two container, one within the other. The space between the containers acts as a highly efficient thermal barrier including high technology insulation, a vacuum, and a vacuum maintenance system. Each serves a very important part in the useful life of the container.
