Product Manual - Liquid Cylinders Introduction General Handling LCCM Ring ® ® The Dura-Cyl and Cryo-Cyl Liquid Cylinders are double walled, vacuum and multi-layer insulated cylinders designed for the transportation and storage of liquefied gases. All of the Dura-Cyl series and Cryo-Cyl 80 HP cylinders can be Load Neck used for liquid argon, liquid nitrogen, and liquid oxygen.
Introduction Product Manual - Liquid Cylinders portion of the regulator (referred to as the economizer) One of the most important requirements in the 4L code is the allows gas withdrawal directly from the vapor space of the marking and calculation of the safety devices used to protect cylinder until liquid cylinder head pressure is reduced to the inner pressure vessel.
Product Manual - Liquid Cylinders Introduction Preferred Lifting Procedure Preferred Handling Procedures Figure 4 illustrates the preferred cylinder handling ® ® To lift a Dura-Cyl /Cryo-Cyl Liquid Cylinder attach the properly sized hooks and chains into both of the holes and procedures.
/Cryo-Cyl Liquid Cylinders are designed to withstand the normal handling associated with transportation Chart is stating below the responsibilities of the filler of any by truck cryogenic liquid cylinder: Figure 5 illustrates how a cylinder should be secured in a The cylinder must be in a safe condition truck for transportation.
Product Manual - Liquid Cylinders Introduction Dispense only to knowledgeable users. The filler must determine that the user is knowledgable about the general characteristics of the product and the proper safety precautions for its use. Do not allow customers to fill their own cylinders. Dispose of cylinders properly.
Figure 11 shows the unit as soon as possible. the pump transfer method. All Chart liquid cylinders are tested for performance with low-purity liquid nitrogen. For this reason liquid cylinders intended for use in another service should be thoroughly purged with the applicable gas prior to filling.
Product Manual - Liquid Cylinders Introduction being supplied to the application will be pulled out of the vapor space in the top of the tank. It will travel through the regulator and then the vaporizer coils. It will be warmed before it reaches the final line regulator.
Introduction Product Manual - Liquid Cylinders When the pressure falls below the pressure building regulator has been emptied, all valves should be closed. To minimize setting (125 psig), the regulator will open (Figure 14). This flash-off and spillage, use a phase separator on the end of will allow liquid to run into the pressure builder vaporizer the transfer line.
Product Manual - Liquid Cylinders Operations This section provides the filling procedures, operating Caution! Before making a liquid transfer pressure information and liquid withdrawal procedures be sure that protective for Dura-Cyl ® and Cryo-Cyl ® Liquid Cylinders The low eyeglasses and gloves are being pressure (LP), medium pressure (MP) and high pressure (HP) worn.
Operations Product Manual - Liquid Cylinders Liquid Withdrawal Connect the transfer hose to the liquid valve of the cylinder Cryogenic liquid can be pressure transferred from the liquid Connect or place the other end of the hose onto the inlet cylinder to other cryogenic equipment that operates at a of the cryogenic equipment that will receive liquid.
Product Manual - Liquid Cylinders Operations The liquid cylinder is equipped with liquid and vent valves Gas Withdrawal that are used during the filling procedure. The liquid valve is equipped with a dip tube that extends into the inner vessel of The Dura-Cyl MCR MP liquid cylinder will deliver gas at various flow rates and temperatures for different applications.
Operations Product Manual - Liquid Cylinders Filling Procedures Operating Pressure ® The Dura-Cyl LCCM MP liquid cylinders are regulated by The liquid cylinder will automatically maintain a normal the DOT/Transport Canada for transporting liquid oxygen, operating pressure between the pressure building portion of nitrogen or argon.
