2.6 Safety equipment
WARNING!
Danger to life due to nonfunctioning safety equipment!
Safety equipment that is nonfunctioning or is out of operation poses a risk of severe or fatal
injuries.
Before beginning work, check whether all safety equipment is functional and correctly
installed.
Never disconnect or bridge safety equipment.
Make sure that all safety equipment is always accessible.
Integration in the emergency shutdown concept is essential

The pump assembly is intended for use within a system. It does not have its own control system or
an autonomous emergency shutdown function.
Before the pump assembly is brought into operation, install emergency shutdown devices on the
pump assembly and connect in the safety chain of the control system.
The emergency shutdown device(s) must be connected so that during interruption of power supply
or activation of power supply after interruption, hazardous situations for persons and property do
not occur.
The emergency shutdown equipment must always be freely accessible to personnel in the work
area.
Emergency shutdown switch
HAZARD!
Danger from unconnected emergency shutdown switch!
The emergency shutdown devices must be installed on the pump and incorporated in the safety
chain of the installation control.
Integration in a protective fence system required

The pump assembly is intended for use within a system. Before the pump assembly is brought into opera-
tion, install protective fences around the pump assembly and incorporate them in the safety chain of the con-
trol system.
Protective fences must separate hazard areas. The hazard areas within the protective fences may not be
entered when the power supply is switched on.
Only enter using the doors prescribed for this purpose. Do not engage as long as persons are within the
protective fences.

Safety valves
Safety valves are relieving devices for pressure containing components such as pressure vessels or pipe-
lines. Safety valves divert gases, vapors or liquids into the atmosphere if pressure rises above the safety
valve’s setpoint.
A safety valve is situated in the high pressure system of the pump, which relieves the overpressure without
hazard if pressure rises too high as a result of incorrect operation, component failure or other irregular
events.
2.7 Conduct during fire outbreak and accidents
Protective measures
Always be prepared for fire and accidents!
Keep first aid equipment (first aid kits, blankets, etc.) and fire extinguishing equipment functional and
handy.
Familiarize personnel with accident reporting requirements, first aid and rescue equipment.
Keep access routes open for rescue vehicles.
Measures during fire outbreak and accidents

Immediately activate the emergency shutdown by means of the emergency shutdown device.
If there is no risk to health, keep persons out of the hazard zone.
If necessary, take first aid measures.
Notify the fire department and/or rescue service.
During fire outbreak: If there is no hazard to health, combat fire with fire extinguishing equipment and
continue firefighting until the fire department arrives.
Inform responsible persons at the site of operation.
Keep access routes open for rescue vehicles.

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.
RP 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 reciprocating 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 reciprocating pump is to transfer a cryogenic liquid from a source of supply to a re-
ceiving vessel or system. A reciprocating type pump is generally chosen over other types if the desired flow
rate is relatively low while the pressure rise (or head) is relatively high. Reciprocating pumps, being a posi-
tive displacement type, are able to produce very high discharge pressures with good efficiency and safety.
ACD reciprocating pumps are generally driven by an electric motor or diesel engine that is connected to the
pump through a speed reducing device (such as a gearbox or belt drive). The electric motor may also have
a speed controller (VFD).
Figure 4-1 depicts a single-cylinder horizontal pump on top and a single cylinder vertical pump on bottom.
Other models may have multiple cylinders for higher flow applications.
4.2 Safety equipment components
Safety equipment components of a reciprocating pumping system

Several components of safety equipment are required for the completed installation of an ACD reciprocating
pump; depending on the specific model, some or all of these components are not normally supplied by ACD
as noted in the following list:
Suction line pressure relief valve
Motor overload protection
Control system
Many of these components are, however, supplied with some models. See Module 12, Appendix A for the
standard scope of supply for the specific model in question.
If the pump drive system includes a belt drive, ACD provides guards for the belts and pulleys or sprockets.
Depending on the specific type of pump and the installation, several additional components are either stan-
dard or available options including:
Loss of prime detector
Cooldown lockup control
Filter (protection against particles or dirt at suction side)
Discharge pressure switch and indicator
Discharge relief valve and surge chamber
Intermediate purge system
Motor overload protection

Integration into the control system

The pump assembly is intended for use within a system. It does not, in some cases, have its own control
system or an autonomous 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.
See also Section 2.6 “Safety equipment”.
4.3 Assembly description
Basic description
The pump is a single- or multiple-cylinder reciprocating pump used to convey liquefied gases at high pres-
sures and low operating temperatures. The pump consists of four functional units:
Drive unit
Drive mechanism (Warm end)
Cold end
Base frame
The cold end is the pressure-generating functional unit. In the cold end liquid is drawn in by the backward
stroke of the piston and brought to pressure and pumped to the pressure line during the forward stroke.
4.3.1 Drive unit
Electric motor and Hydraulic motor
Figure 4-2: Vertical drive unit (l) and horizontal drive unit (r)
RP 45
M-4-RP
For Rev. 1
An ACD reciprocating pump is normally driven by an electric motor. Depending on the application, the pump
may be driven by a diesel engine, hydraulic motor, or by an electric motor through a speed-decreasing belt
or gear drive system. The belt system generally consists of several V-belts and pulleys, although some units
use timing belts and sprockets. Some hydraulic motor drive the pump directly through a coupling.
Figure 4-2 depicts an electric motor (item 1) driven vertical type pump (left) and a horizontal pump (right).
Belt guard
The belt guard (Figure 4-2, item 2, right) or the cover plate (Figure 4-2, item 2, left), protects the belt drive of
the drive unit from dirt and excessive moisture. Belt guards/cover plates are part of the protection against
accidental contact.
4.3.2 Drive mechanism (Warm end)
Figure 4-3: Drive mechanism in vertical design (l) and horizontal design (r)
The drive mechanism (Figure 4-3, item 1), also called the “warm end”, converts a rotational movement to a
reciprocating movement.
The warm end consists of a crankshaft, and for each of the pump’s cold end cylinders, a connecting rod that
is driven by an offset journal on the crankshaft that connects through a wrist pin to a reciprocating crosshead
running in a sleeve. The crosshead sleeve is generally a dry-lubricated type requiring no external lubrica-
tion. The crosshead mounts the drive end of the cold end piston rod.
Depending on the specific pump model, the drive mechanism may have grease-lubricated, oil splash lubri-
cated, or pressurized oil lubricated anti-friction bearings. In the last case, the pump assembly may include a
separate lubricating oil system (lube pack) consisting of an electric motor driven oil pump, an oil sump, and
appropriate controls and safety devices all assembled and plumbed to the reciprocating pump. Otherwise,
the pressurized lube system will include an internally mounted oil pump that is driven by the pump shaft.
46 RP
M-4-RP
For Rev. 1
If the pump is to be used in liquid oxygen service, the bearings are lubricated with an oxygen compatible
lubricant.
Some pump models may be ordered with an optional purge system that provides a positive flow of nitrogen
gas to the warm end housing and/or intermediate support between the warm and cold ends. The positive
flow prevents a buildup of product gas or liquid in these areas in the event of piston rod packing/cold seal
failure.
4.3.3 Cold / fluid end
Functional description
The cold end of a reciprocating pump consists of a piston rod running in a cylinder sleeve that is mounted in
a housing. The piston rod is driven by the crosshead in the warm end. At the other end of the rod is the
piston area in which rings ride in circumferential grooves to effect a seal between the piston and the cylinder
sleeve.
At the far end of the cylinder sleeve a suction valve is installed; this design allows an almost straight-through
flow during the suction stroke for minimum NPSP requirements.
On the side of the discharge housing near the suction valve, and slightly beyond the end of the piston stroke,
is the discharge valve which is a spring loaded ball type. The discharge valve opens any time the cylinder
internal pressure is higher than the system pressure on the downstream side.
The cold end is designed with a relatively long housing and piston rod in order to provide thermal insulation
to both the liquid being pumped (to keep heat out) and to the packing at the drive end (to keep the packing
warm). Both housing and piston rod are fabricated from stainless steels both for strength at operating tem-
peratures and for its relatively poor thermal conductance.
Figure 4-4 identifies the pump cold / fluid end (item 1) in an electric motor driven vertical version (left) and an
electric motor driven horizontal version (right).

4.4 Hazard area

General area
Relief valve discharge
Uninsulated lines
Valve packing leakage
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:
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.
Valve packing leakage. If a cryogenic valve has leakage at the packing, the valve may become frozen in
place and inoperable until the valve is warmed to a point above freezing. In addition, the cryogenic fluid is
dangerous (see paragraph 2.5.6).

4.5 Interfaces
Interface description
Interfaces include the suction and discharge ports, electrical connections to the motor, and purge gas con-
nections (if applicable). The following points should be considered regarding these interfaces:
Suction and discharge ports. On most ACD reciprocating pumps, these interfaces are fittings matching
standards as shown on the applicable installation drawing. Gaskets generally are not required unless the
pump includes a centrifugal boost pump at the suction. Any loads imposed on the pump housing by the
attached piping lines must be within the limitations shown on the installation drawing.
The smallest ports, such as those for instrumentation, are generally threaded types. 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 fittings 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 4-6) are located on the electric motor. If no
options are installed, only one terminal box will be installed.
Purge gas. If the pump includes a purge system, the installation must include a source of purge gas
supply connected to the purge system inlet. The purge gas composition, pressure, and flow capability
must meet the requirements as shown in the literature accompanying the purge system.

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.
52 RP
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.
Relative humidity: max. 60%.
In case of storage lasting longer than 3 months, regularly check the general condition of all parts and
packaging. If necessary refresh or renew the preservation.

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 at any time, 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. Specific lifting instructions are provided in
Module 12, Appendix B.
RP 55
M-6-RP
For 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).
56 RP
M-6-RP
For 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, especially if the pump does not include a sump. Because the liquid be-
ing pumped is extremely cold, and must remain so in order to successfully pump it, every
means possible to limit heat gain into the liquid flowing to the pump suction and maintain sub-
cooling (see Module 3) must be taken. Gas and liquid traps must be avoided by designing the
suction piping to have a continuous slope downwards towards the pump suction. The use of
tees, elbows, and other fittings must be minimized 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 ne-
cessary, causing excessive heat leak. The line must be adequately supported and considera-
tion must be given to the thermal loads that will be imposed as the line cools from ambient tem-
perature down to operating temperature. If a flexible hose section is utilized as recommended
(see Flange loads and piping alignment below), it must incorporate a smooth bore lining fabri-
cated from TFE hose that runs the full length of the section in order to maintain NPSH. If con-
necting to a storage tank, a dedicated liquid supply port should be used (see 6.2 preceding).
Return piping. Installations in which the pump is connected to a liquid supply vessel should
include a return line connected from the pump low pressure vent or sump vapor return back to
the storage vessel ullage space through the vessel’s vent system. This return line acts as a re-
circulation line, allowing pump cooldown and filling of the sump (if included) without flow
through the discharge 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 and preferably with a flexible hose section similar to that discussed above for the suction
line.
RP 57
M-6-RP
For Rev. 1
Flange loads and piping alignment. It is highly recommended that the piping connecting to the
pump suction and (vapor) return ports incorporate short flexible hose sections immediately ad-
jacent 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 (if not vacuum jacketed by ACD) 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 moisture which will destroy the effectiveness of the insulation.
The quality (k factor) of the insulation cannot be overemphasized; vacuum jacketing for the suc-
tion line will provide the best operation but if it is not chosen, a minimum of 8 cm fiberglass insu-
lation thickness with vapor barrier and jacketing should be used.
The return line 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 accu-
mulation.
Valves. Suction line isolation valves, in addition to being constructed and cleaned for cryogen-
ic 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 suitable for the high pressure should be provided in the dis-
charge piping. It must also be designed and constructed for cryogenic duty.
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 liq-
uid 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 boi-
loff; thus the relief valve may be relatively small in size. If required, an additional relief valve of
adequate capacity should be installed on the pump discharge to protect from overpressure dur-
ing 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 veri-
fy 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 obstruction
to flow and/or damage to the pump.
58 RP
M-6-RP
For 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 mo-
tor’s insulation is dry and in good condition. Wiring and cabling must be selected for adequate
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 separate lubricating pump and system is included in the pump assembly, verify
that it is ready to operate with proper lubricating oil installed and all subsystems complete. If a belt drive 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 boost pump is provided for the reciprocating pump suction, verify that it is
ready to operate. Perform an inspection and operate it in accordance with its manual.
4. Pump rotation. The driver should be energized momentarily to check for proper direction of rotation.
Some reciprocating pumps are able to operate in either direction, so rotation direction may not be of conse-
quence. See Module 12 for applicability.
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 inspecting
for any deformation due to contraction of the piping. Again, there must be no external leakage.

Risk of injury posed by cryogenic and hot surfaces!
See paragraph 2.5.6 “Hazards posed by cryogenic and high temperatures”.
Liquefied gases and liquid jet
DANGER!
Danger posed by liquefied gases and liquid jet emerging under high pressure!
See paragraph 2.5.4 “Hazard posed by liquefied gases”.
Control system
NOTE:
The reciprocating 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:
RP 61
M-7-RP
For 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 antic-
ipated 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 cool-
down by opening the suction, return line, and discharge vent (bleed) 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.
62 RP
M-7-RP
For Rev. 1
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 discharge vent (bleed) valve. If prime is not achieved, the
pump is to be stopped and cooldown allowed to continue. Adjustment of pressure in supply source
may be required to increase sub-cooling.
2. Normal operation. If prime has been achieved, adjust return line valves as necessary to maintain
pump prime. While operating, the pump assembly is to be checked frequently for continued normal
operation. If abnormalities are observed that cannot be removed by valve adjustment, the pump
should be stopped and the abnormality investigated. Otherwise, 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 piston
rod(s) remains close (within 2 cm) to the normal operating position. If the frost line approaches
too closely to the drive (warm) end, 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.
RP 63
M-7-RP

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:
Flanges
Threaded fittings
Valve packing
Piston rod packing/cold 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
pressure behind it, that occurs at a low point in the line or on the pump housing and subsequently disap-
pears 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
piston rod 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:
Belt drive: Observe for unusual noise or vibration. Do not remove belt drive covers while in operation.
Hydraulic motor: Observe motor and connecting hoses for proper pressure, temperature, and absence of
leakage. Observe for unusual noise or vibration.
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.

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 substance
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 becom-
ing. 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 col-
umn 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 sub-
traction of latent heat causes phase changes in the opposite direc-
tion. Latent heat of vaporization is the specific amount of heat re-
quired 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 related
equipment. Generally, the personnel performing the work will install
a personal lock on the access to the energy source that only they
can remove.

Megohmmeter (“Megger”) First produced by the English company Biddle, the Megger provides
a source of approximately 500 volts DC to be applied across a cir-
cuit’s insulation. The instrument then measures the leakage current
occurring as a result of the applied voltage and indicates the insula-
tion effectiveness in megohms (106 ohms).
Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) The difference between the actual pressure and the vapor pressure
of a liquid at the pump suction port. See paragraph 3.2 for a discus-
sion of NPSH. This term generally used with non-positive displace-
ment pumps (such as reciprocating types).
Net Positive Suction Pressure See Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) above. This term generally
(NPSP) 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 (electric
motor, hydraulic motor, or mechanical drive), and the interposing
drive unit (belt box or gear box) if one is installed. The pump as-
sembly 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 de-
sign 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 rotating
dual) and stationary parts. The crests of the stationary grooves are cen-
tered 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 ob-
stacle 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 unaccepta-
ble, 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 vent is provided from the labyrinth
78 RP
M-11
For Rev. 1
between the primary and secondary gas entrances. The pressures

of the two gases are regulated 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 ren-
dered safe by the mixture with the secondary gas. The gas pres-
sures 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 pri-
mary gas must be provided at a pressure above the pump suction
pressure from the product supply source until the pump is in opera-
tion, 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 rotat-
ing 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 dynam-
ically (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 frictional contact and into-
lerance of foreign material between the faces. The friction also ge-
nerates 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 run-
ning occurs (pump running without fluid in it or severe cavitation) or
if ice formation exists in the seal.
Static head Head (or pressure) due to vertical location. A vertical pipe contain-
ing 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 be-
cause it does not vary with the gas pressure over the liquid but acts
in addition to the gas pressure. In pump applications, 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 subcool-
ing exists. Subcooling can also be achieved by increasing the pres-
sure above the vapor pressure at any given temperature.
Tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) or Poly- A fluorocarbon compound. Virgin TFE or PTFE in tape or paste
tetrafluoroethylene (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.
RP 79
M-11
For Rev. 1
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.

stance can simultaneously exist as a solid, liquid, and gas.

GUPD Description
The Model GUPD pump assembly is a three-cylinder, horizontally

oriented, single-acting positive displacement reciprocating pump
normally supplied as a foot-mounted pump for custom installations
using electric motor or hydraulic drive systems. The GUPD is also
available as a skid-mounted pump assembly in which all
components are mounted on a steel skid with the pump driven by an
electric motor through a timing (Gilmer) belt and sprockets. The
GUPD, with its heavy-duty construction, is suitable for high pressure
and/or mobile pumping operations, storage filling, nitrogen purging
and oil well servicing applications. Depending on the pump size
(piston diameter and stroke) and drive speed, the GUPD is capable
of discharge pressures up to 17,000 psig (1172 bar) and flows from
1 to 49gpm (5 to 185 lpm). Refer to the Pump Performance chart
(Figure A1) for the maximum performance for each pump size. The
GUPD is suitable for pumping applications in nitrogen, LNG
(methane), and ethylene service.
The GUPD pump consists of a “warm end” or drive assembly
containing the drive mechanism and a “cold end” in which the
cryogenic liquid is actually pumped from low pressure to high
pressure. The cold end cylinders are all identical. See Figure A2,
GUPD Pump Assembly, for identification of major components and
pump ports. Figure A3 provides dimensional information.
The warm end housing is a horizontally-split casting encompassing
the drive components for all three cylinders. An intermediate
housing connects the warm end housing to each cold end cylinder
housing. This intermediate housing is open to the atmosphere, thus
completely isolating the cold end from the warm end lubricant. The
warm end contains a built-up crankshaft with a keyed eccentric for
RP/GUPD/A A1-1
A-RP-
For GUPD
each throw. A main bearing is provided between each throw and at

the outside of the outer throws (a total of four main bearings). A
connecting rod, wrist pin and crosshead that convert the rotary
motion into reciprocating motion complete the drive components for
each cylinder. The main bearings are cylindrical rollers while the
connecting rod big end and the wrist pin bearings are sleeve
bearings. A ball bearing at the end of the crankshaft opposite the
drive takes thrust loads in both directions. The warm end drive
components (bearings, crosshead, and wrist pin) are pressure
lubricated with motor oil from an external lubrication system.
The pump requires an external lubrication system for pressurized oil
delivery to the warm end. That system may be supplied either by
the customer or by ACD. This appendix provides the required
specifications for this system in the Installation section following. If
ACD provides this system, it will also meet the specifications; details
of its components and operation will be provided in Appendix B.
Each cold end consists of a piston rod driven from the warm end
crosshead, a cylinder sleeve, and suction and discharge valves all
contained within a stainless steel housing.
The suction valve is a flat plate type located at the end of the piston
chamber; this location provides the most direct path into the cylinder
with the least loss of head. The discharge valve, also located at the
end of the piston chamber, is a flat-faced poppet type that opens
automatically when the pressure in the cylinder is above the
downstream system pressure and reseats during the suction stroke.
The piston rod is provided with several sets of piston rings to seal
the pumping chamber from the remainder of the housing. The
stainless steel rod is of sufficient length to keep the thermal
conduction to a reasonable minimum, thus limiting heat leak into the
liquid being pumped while allowing the rod seals, located near the
warm end, to remain warm.
The GUPD pump operating cycle is as follows:
The pump is cooled down using liquid from the supply
source. This liquid is pressurized to supply vessel pressure
plus liquid head (see Section 3.2 “Cavitation and
NPSH/NPSP”).
When the piston moves away from the top-dead-center
position (closest to the suction valve), the liquid is drawn
through the suction valve into the pumping chamber. This
is called the suction stroke.
During the suction stroke, the NPSP of the liquid at the
suction port overcomes the pressure drop necessary for it to
flow through the suction valve without boiling (flashing to a
vapor). Sufficient NPSP is necessary for the pumping
chamber to fill completely with liquid in order to prevent
cavitation.
When the piston reaches the end of the inlet stroke (bottom-
dead-center), it reverses and begins the forward pumping
A1-2 RP/GUPD/A
A-RP-
For GUPD
stroke. The liquid is trapped in the pumping chamber by the

closing inlet (suction ) valve. If the inlet valve is restricted
by contamination or is worn, the liquid will leak back into the
suction piping. If the piston rings or the cylinder sleeve are
worn, the high pressure liquid will leak back into the low
pressure area of the cylinder housing behind the piston
rings, causing excessive load on the piston rod seals and
reducing pump performance. If the piston rod seals leak
excessively, ice formation may occur on the drive end of the
piston rod. Ice will damage the seals.
On the forward discharge stroke, the increasing pressure of
the trapped liquid forces open the discharge valve. The
liquid is pumped at the discharge line pressure. A
restriction in the discharge piping, such as a closed valve,
would cause extreme overpressurization. This is why a
safety relief valve must be installed immediately at the
pump discharge.
When the piston reaches top-dead-center, there is only a
small clearance volume remaining. The high pressure on
the back side of the discharge valve immediately causes it
to shut. The piston reverses its direction and the cycle is
repeated.
Optional accessories include a mechanical tachometer adapter (the
digital tachometer adapter is normally supplied) and a boost pump.
Either right-hand or left-hand drive orientation may be specified by
the customer for best fit in the specific installation.
A complete system consisting of a GUPD pump, drive system with
electric motor, lube system, boost pump, piping, valves, and
controls all mounted on a skid is also available; contact ACD for
further information.

DANGER!
Danger due to liquefied gases and oxygen
deficient atmosphere!
See paragraph 2.5.4 “Hazard posed by liquefied
gases”.
DANGER!
Risk of injury from cryogenic surfaces!
See paragraph 2.5.6 “Hazards posed by cryogenic
and high temperatures”.
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.
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 is to be lifted at any time,
appropriate methods and lifting points are to be
used. The pump assembly is provided with fork lift
pockets which should be used for transport and
installation.
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.
A1-6 RP/GUPD/A
A-RP-
For GUPD
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
area at startup.
Installation of the GUPD pump assembly includes: 1) lifting and

mounting to an adequate foundation, 2) installing a suitable drive
system (electric motor and timing belt or hydraulic drive, 3)
connecting the pump suction, return line, and discharge ports to
appropriate piping and boost pump, 3) connecting the electric
motor to appropriate power and controls, and 4) installing an
adequate external lubricating system.
Lifting. If skid mounted, the GUPD pump assembly is to be lifted
by the lifting eyes provided on the skid frame. Do not lift the
entire skid by the pump itself or by any of the attached
components. If the pump is foot mounted, it is to be lifted by
slings placed around the warm end housing. Do not place sling
under or lift by the pump crankshaft.
Mounting. The foot mounted GUPD includes four (4) mounting
points with female threads into the warm end casting. See Figure
A3 or 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.
The foundation should be a minimum of 4 inch (10 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. A suitable structure fabricated
from steel shapes should be interposed between the foundation
and the pump. Fastening the structure to the foundation is
preferably accomplished using cast-in-place anchor bolts meeting
ASTM F-1554 grade 36 (or equivalent) and sized to closely fit the
mounting holes (within 1/8” or 3 mm) drilled into the structure.
RP/GUPD/A A1-7
A-RP-
For GUPD
Mobile applications will also require a similar structure fabricated

from steel shapes for mounting the pump. These applications
must be individually engineered for the specific installation.
Drive system. The GUPD foot mounted pump should be driven
by an adequately sized electric motor through a timing belt and
sprocket drive system. The motor and drive system size depend
on the desired flow rate and maximum pressure at which the
pump will operate. Motor voltage and frequency must match the
power available at the installation site.
The GUPD skid mounted pump assembly is assembled complete
with the appropriate electric motor and drive system.
Hydraulic drives should be engineered for the specific application.
Boost pump. A boost pump on the suction line to the GUPD
pump is required for most applications to ensure that the 60 psig
(4.1 bar) minimum NPSP is met under all conditions. The boost
pump is normally a small centrifugal pump directly driven by an
electric motor.
Piping connections. See Figure A6 for the components of a
typical piping system for a standard supply vessel. The pump
assembly is shipped with covers over the suction, vent return, and
discharge 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 pipe or tube ends are parallel and concentric
with the pump ports.
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 suction and vent ports or manifold
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.
A suction strainer should be installed to protect the pump from
particulates that could cause damage to pump valves and piston
rings. The strainer should be rated 100 mesh and have a flow
capacity of ten times the pump flow at a one-psi (7 kPa) pressure
drop.
See the Figure A3 or the Installation drawing provided in
Appendix B for the port sizes and locations. Suction and
discharge piping should never be smaller in diameter than the
pump suction and discharge (respectively) port sizes.
As noted in the Pump Performance chart (Figure A1) on a
previous page, the maximum pressure at the suction and vent
ports is 225 psig (15.5 bar).

Electrical connection. Connect the motor electrically in

accordance with local codes, the manufacturer’s
recommendations and the nameplate information. If the GUPD
includes the remote mounted control enclosure, it should be wall
mounted in accordance with the instructions on the installation
drawing included in Appendix B.
Pressurized lubricating oil system. For the pressure-lubricated
warm end, an external lube oil system is required that meets the
following specifications (See Figure A4 for a graph of oil flow vs.
temperature required by the GUPD pump):
• Oil Pump: 12-14 gpm (45-53 lpm)

• 30-50 gallon reservoir
• Oil cooler sized to maintain inlet oil temperature at 130° F
(54° C) max. with a by-pass thermostat set at 100° F (38°
C) for cold starts.
• Oil Fulflo type relief valve set @ 80 psig (5.5 bar).
• Oil filter on inlet side of drive (25 micron).
The recommended external lube system diagram is provided in
Figure A7.
After installation is complete, operate the lube system at full
pressure (60-80 psig, 4.1-5.5 bar) for approximately 30 minutes to
check for leaks. Oil temperature should never exceed 130° F (54°
C) and pressure should never fall below 40 psig (2.8 bar). Check
all lube system plumbing connections on the pump and the
external system as well as crankcase seams and intermediate
housings for any visual evidence of oil leakage. There should be
no leakage.
CAUTION!
Do not operate the GUPD pump during lube system
leak check.

GUPD Operation
WARNING!
Do not attempt to operate the pump prior to
completion and cleaning of all piping and purging of
piping and pump.
CAUTION!
Never operate the pump with no flow. Valves must
be open to allow flow through pump at all times
when operating.
CAUTION!
Verify that the boost pump is capable of providing
the necessary NPSP.
CAUTION!
Do not operate the GUPD pump without proper
lubricating oil and adequate oil pressure (if external
lube system is used).
NOTE!
Never operate the pump without first cooling down
to normal operating temperature. Never operate the
pump if the visible portion of the piston rod has
become excessively cold (frosted over).
Pump cooldown. Since cryogenic fluids exist as liquids at

temperatures far below ambient temperatures, the fluid tends to
boil and vaporize upon contact with a surface of higher
temperature. Therefore, a cooldown process is necessary to bring
the cryogenic pumps down to the same temperature as the
entering fluid. This operation prevents boiling of the fluid in the inlet
chamber and cavitation of the pumps.
In general, the cooldown process consists of cooling the boost
pump and its associated flow system, and cooling the high-
pressure pump with its associated flow system.
Pump priming. The priming of a positive displacement pump for
cryogenic service will vary with respect to the specific system
suction characteristics. It is necessary for an operator to become
familiar with the characteristics of the pump itself and also the
system in order to understand its operation. The cryogenic pump
must be chilled down until the temperature of the metal is the same
temperature as the incoming liquid or does not exceed the
temperature of the liquid at its established NPSP. When the pump
RP/GUPD/A A1-17
A-RP-

is started, the operator should pay very close attention to the

discharge pressure rise that would indicate pump prime. If there is
no immediate indication of pumping action, the pump should be
stopped and further chilling should take place. If a small volume of
liquid can be pumped to atmosphere in order to assist pump prime,
the starting procedure is much simpler.
The operating procedures provided here are based on the GUPD
P&I Diagram (Figure A6).
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.
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.
e) Start GUPD lubrication system and verify that adequate
flow and pressure are being supplied to the pump warm
end.
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 closing
the vessel’s vent valve (if open) and using the pressure buildup
coil.
3. Cool down boost pump as follows:
a) Open liquid inlet valve V-7.
b) Open return to tank valve V-8. Pump should begin to
cool. While boost pump is cooling, proceed to next step.
4. Begin GUPD pump cooldown as follows:
a) Open pump inlet valve V-1.
b) Open return to tank valve V-4 . Liquid will now begin to
flow to the pump suction, cooling the pump.
c) Open pump discharge priming valve V-5. Liquid will now
flow through the pump to cool all parts.
d) If quicker cooldown is desired, open bleed valves V-9 and
V-6.
e) When boost pump appears ready to start, close valve V-
9.
f) Start the boost pump.
g) Throttle the return to tank valve V-8 as required to
increase the boost pump discharge pressure to 60 psi
A1-18 RP/GUPD/A

For GUPD
(4.1 bar) minimum above supply vessel pressure.

h) Continue to cool the GUPD cold end assemblies until the
frost line has progressed to approximately 2 inches (5
cm) back on the intermediate housings.
5. Pumping operation:
a) Close bleed valve V-6 if previously opened.
b) Open the receiving system valves in the discharge piping
from the pump.
c) Start the GUPD pump. Priming of the pump should result
in the discharge line showing frost very quickly, a slight
pulsing noise or clicking indicating that the valves are
functioning, and the discharge pressure showing
increasing pressure. If prime does not occur, stop the
pump and continue cooldown.
d) After pump runs for several seconds, open discharge
valve V-2 and immediately close pump prime valve V-5.
e) Cold end return to tank valve V-4 must remain open
during pump operation.
f) The pump will now operate continuously. Monitor pump
operation to check for any visual or audible signs of
malfunction. Check to ensure that pump is operating
within the parameters provided in the Pump Performance
chart (page A1-4) and on the pump data sheet(s) in
Appendix B.
6. Shut down as follows:
a) When pumping operation is complete, stop pump.
b) Stop boost pump.
c) Close GUPD pump discharge valve V-2.
d) Close liquid inlet valve V-7.
e) Open priming valve V-5.
f) Stop lubrication system.
g) Turn off electrical power supply (circuit breaker OFF).
h) Leave storage vessel vent return valve V-4 and prime
valve V-5 open until the pump inlet, discharge, and vent
return lines have defrosted; then close valves.

A2. MAINTENANCE AND CRYOGENIC

INDUSTRIES LOCATIONS
Repairs - General Although the design of the pump has been kept as simple as possible,
we do not recommend that internal repairs be carried out by the
operator. The parts used are extremely precise with very tight
tolerances; high precision measuring equipment is required. Should
suitable prerequisites be available on site, we will be glad to provide
the customers’ personnel with the necessary training.
External adjustments and warm end lubrication maintenance, as well
as cold end removal and reinstallation, are provided in this section.
Instructions for installation of the optional tachometer kit are also
provided in this section.
Periodic maintenance is covered in Section A4.
A list of Cryogenics Industries locations is provided below should it
become necessary to make contact with authorized repair facilities.
Qualified personnel
WARNING!
Only “Qualified Personnel” should perform any of the
actions shown below.
Refer to Personnel Requirements instruction paragraph
2.3.1 “Qualifications”.
Drive (warm end) lubrication The crank drive is pressure lubricated in the crosshead, wrist pin, and
connecting rod/eccentric bearing areas using an external lube system.
(Pressure lubricated) If the external system has been supplied by ACD, the component
details of that system are provided in Appendix B. If supplied by the
customer, details of the lube system will be part of the vendor’s
literature. The external system must meet or exceed the
specifications provided in the Installation part of section A1
(preceding).
It is recommended that the oil filter be changed after the first 20 hours
of operation, and again after the 100 hours. Thereafter, the oil and
filter should be changed every 100 hours of operation or once a
month, whichever comes first.
Since the oil should not collect in the drive end, but should drain freely
back into the reservoir, oil draining and replacement is performed at
the reservoir.
The piston coupling is a non-lubricated joint; however, a coating of
ACD P/N 14290-1 should be used to prevent galling.
Lubricate using the appropriate oil as shown in the following table:

Optional tachometer kit Description. The optional digital tachometer for installation on the
installation (P/N 46066-1) GUPD pump provides a direct readout of pump shaft speed (rpm) and
total running time (hours). The kit includes:
• Tachometer (Display), P/N 45642-48 (48 tooth
tachometer)
• Cable, 20 feet long, P/N 45643-2
• Magnetic Pickup, P/N 45644-3
• Installation, operation and maintenance instructions
The digital tachometer is a solid-state, digital tachometer/hourmeter,
which operates directly from a magnetic pickup installed on the pump,
with no other electrical power source required. The unit displays shaft
rpm (4 digits) in 1-rpm increments, and cumulative running time in
hours (5 digits). The hours are automatically displayed every 64
seconds; the hourmeter readout is in one hour increments.
Installation. Install the kit components using the following procedure:
1. Remove socket head screw and flat washer from end cover of
pump. Save the screw and washer for possible later use if the
magnetic pickup is removed.
2. Look into the threaded hole revealed by removal of the above
screw (use a flashlight if necessary), and check that one of
the teeth on the bearing retainer is directly below the threaded
hole (in line with the position that the magnetic pickup probe
will take). If a tooth is not in this position, manually rotate the
shaft of the pump as necessary to bring one of the teeth
directly under the tachometer magnetic pickup hole.
CAUTION!
The magnetic pickup probe must not extend between
any two teeth of the bearing retainer. The magnetic
pickup must clear the teeth by 0.005-0.007 inch (0.13 -
0.17 mm). If the magnetic pickup protrudes down and
between any two teeth, the magnetic probe will be
destroyed and possible internal damage to the pump
may occur when the pump is started.
3. Install Magnetic Pickup, P/N 45644-3 in threaded hole of end

cap, and turn clockwise until the magnetic pickup just contacts
one of the teeth of the bearing retainer. It is recommended
that the pump shaft be rotated carefully by hand at this point
to make sure that the magnetic pickup probe is not extended
down between any two of the teeth on the bearing retainer. If
the magnetic probe catches on a tooth, back off the magnetic
pickup until the shaft can be rotated to place a tooth directly
under the magnetic pickup probe.
4. Back off magnetic pickup 0.005-0.007 inch (required
clearance between magnetic pickup and rotating teeth of the
bearing retainer). Rotate shaft manually to make sure all
teeth are cleared.
5. Secure magnetic pickup in this adjusted position with the
locknut on the threaded shaft of the magnetic pickup.

6. Mount tachometer display, P/N 45642-48, in a suitable panel,

using the template provided.
7. For outdoor installation, enclose the display within the
selected panel to avoid direct exposure to the weather.
Operating temperature range is 0° to +175° F (-18° to +79°C).
Exposure to higher temperatures may result in the liquid
crystal display turning black (subsequent cooling will return
the visibility of the display). For best results, avoid mounting
the tachometer display in direct sunlight.
8. Connect cable, P/N 45643-2, between tachometer display and
the magnetic pickup as shown in Figure A12.
Setting for operation. The tachometer update time is 60/N seconds
where N = number of gear teeth times gear speed divided by RPM.
The update time is preset at the factory. Make contact with the factory
to set or alter the update time. The quartz crystal driven oscillator
eliminates the need for field calibration.
Hourmeter reset. Reset the hourmeter as follows:
1. Remove the plastic cover over the rocker switches on the
tachometer. For normal operation both switches 1 and 2
should be in the OFF position.
2. Switch rocker switch No. 2 on the display to ON and back to
OFF while the display is operating (pump running). The
HOURS readout will reset to 00000.
3. Re-install the plastic cover over the rocker switches.

WARNING!
Before beginning work lock out the motor drive system.
Pre-removal verification. Prior to beginning removal of the GUPD

pump assembly, the following steps must be taken to ensure that
removal can be safely accomplished:
1. The pump assembly and related piping must be at ambient
temperature.
2. Electric power must be removed and locked out.
3. If the pump is in any hazardous service, the pump and its related
piping must be purged with nitrogen prior to opening connections.
4. Pressure must be removed from the pump assembly and related
piping by venting to atmospheric pressure prior to opening
connections.
5. Suction, vent return, and discharge isolation valves should be
locked in the closed position.
Removal. Use the following procedure to properly remove the pump
assembly from the installation:
1. Verify that all Pre-removal steps listed above have been
RP/GUPD/A A3-1

accomplished.
2. Remove suction, vent return, and discharge port lines, as well as
lube oil supply and return lines, at fittings. Move them away from
pump assembly to prevent damage.
4. Immediately cover pump ports and piping ends (fittings) to prevent
contamination.
5. Loosen and remove mounting fasteners.
6. Carefully move the pump assembly skid away from the tubing and
foundation using a fork lift or crane and sling .
8. If threaded plugs or caps are used on the suction and vent return
piping fittings in step 4, they must incorporate a small vent port to
prevent overpressure conditons in the event a valve is opened and
liquid is allowed into the piping. Otherwise, the installation of a
temporary line relief valve will be necessary.
Reinstallation. Reinstallation is essentially the removal procedure
listed above performed in reverse order. The following additional
points should be followed:
1. Do not remove piping and port covers until immediately prior to
connection.
2. Use new crush seal conical washers on flare fittings.
3. Pressure check piping connections prior to placing pump
assembly back in commission.

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
Cryogenic pumps which are in compliance with the ATEX Directive 94/9/EC show the following label:

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.
