General description
The electric connecting project ought to be operated under the criteria or procedures
of electric equipment technology. Both incorrect connection and curbstone operation
may cause electric shock or even fire.
Without any security measures, it may bring about fire, explosion, deadly injury or
suffocation if applying other types of liquid to the system.
Low-temperature liquid or gas, under high pressure, if not used according to the
security rules, will probably cause severe injury or even deadly.
I. Instruction
1. We present our sincere thanks for your purchasing our pump. It is designed and
made carefully so that you may rest assured to use it. But accidents may also happen
if the pump is inappropriately installed and used. Therefore, please abide by the
guidance in the manual before fixed and used so to ensure safety and effectivity.
Besides, keep the manual carefully.
2. The safety tips indicated in this manual is to guide your correct usage of the pump
and protect you from the potential danger and even injury. Once it is wrongly
operated, two results may come out, separately “warning” and “attention”, both of
which concern about security and ought to be obeyed.
3. As all the materials of the cold end can be applied to the working condition of both
oxygen medium and high cold medium, each component of the cold end should be
degreased and dried all round in the process of maintenance and repair.
4. The pump has to be kept in dry places to prevent smear, water and dust if not used
at the moment.
5. Since the pump has been degreased and dried strictly in the manufactory, users
needn’t do the cleaning before installation. But if the adhesive tape to the intake,
return air inlet, outtake of the cold end is damaged, please degreased and dried again.
Attention: the adhesive tape to the intake and return air inlet can only be
removed during the installation to prevent smear and dust from eroding the
components inside the pump.

The reciprocating cryogenic liquid pump applies to the filling system of oxygen,
nitrogen and argon, with the usage of making the low- temperature liquid in the tank
pressurized and boiled off, then filling them into gas-jar or pipe. It is stable, easy to
operate, convenient to maintain. In proper conditions, its starting time is about 5 to 10
minutes. The pump head can be offloaded separately and reloaded after examination,
which would be finished within 2 to 4 hours.
III.Technical parameters
IV. Structure
The pump mainly consists of motor, belt wheel, wheel box and pump head, assembled
on the substructure.
The drive end transforms rotary movement into reciprocating movement. Then it
decelerates the motor and transmits the output power to the compression end.
Meanwhile, the motor deals with the thermal conversion and deceleration through the
components such as belt wheel, transmitting shaft, offset wheel, link staff and
crosshead. The shaft, offset wheel and axletree structure of the transmitting system is
splash oiliness model, which greatly prolongs the life-span of the dynamical system. It
is the N46 mechanical oil that acts as the lubricant used in the transmitting box,
modulated already in the manufactory. When the surrounding temperature goes below
minus 10 degree centigrade, users may change it themselves into these with low
freezing point. In normal circumstances, the lubricant needs to be changed only once
annually, with the oil surface at half the height of the oil plate lens( 油 面 镜 ). See

V. Installation
The installation rules suits just those normal operations and are only simply
introductions in different cases, which concern the indispensable equipment, pipelines
and valves, while installation rules would change based on users’ demand. See the
indication on picture. The fixing project ought to be designed properly by installation
department according to specific situations and users’ requirements in order to make
sure the safe and reliable performance of the whole system. We recommend the flow
system on Picture 1.
1. Installation condition
The pump base should be 50 mm above the earth surface, with an awning built, and
some room around the pump for a person to operate. See Picture 2 about the
installation size.
2. Liquid tank
The inlet where liquid flow from the tank to the pump ought to be at the bottom of the
tank, the distance between the tank and pump as short as possible. Siphon standpipe
cannot be used as air block may be caused by the air inside the pipeline, bringing
about the misoperation of the pump. And the diameter of drainage inlet in the tank
should meet the demands of the flow amount, but never shorter than that of suction
inlet.
3. Pipeline disposal
The disposal of pipelines should be designed carefully so to prevent the stress or
outside force to act on the working pump. Meanwhile, the constriction and inflation
brought about by the temperature differences should also be taken into consideration.
Therefore, compensation is to be considered during the installation. See Picture 1.

Waring: All the pipeline parts suitable to be cut off by valves ought to be quipped
with safety valves to prevent extra high pressure caused by the boiled off
cryogenic liquid stored and the excessive pressure cause by misoperation.
4. Suction pipeline
Keep the suction pipeline that connects the drainage inlet in the tank and suction inlet
in the pump as short as possible, and diameter of two inlets as long as possible so as
to reduce the boiloff, pressure loss or cold loss. The whole pipeline from the tank to
the pump should be kept inclined downwards continuously so that the air formed in
the pipeline can possibly return to the tank. Both valve and inlet ought not to take up
too large cubage, which would increase the quantity of heat, causing boiloff.
As the liquid transmitted by the pump is in most cases saturated, part of boiled
off liquid might come into being due to pressure loss in the process of liquid
transmission, then form an air cavity, which would cause gas etching and damage the
pump severely. So it is especially vital to fix the suction pipeline correctly. The results
of our investigations show that in most cases the reason why low-temperature pump
doesn’t work is that the suction pipeline is wrongly set up, either a proper net positive
suction pressure ( NPSP ) cannot be maintained or the state of the tank is not
comprehended thoroughly.
Net positive suction pressure (NPSP) is actually energy head. Only when the
numerical value goes above the steam pressure of the flowing medium can the gas
etching be avoided. The following are several ways to raise the valid value of NPSP:
A. Enlarge the liquid height difference; B. Lower the liquid temperature (empty the of
the tank to decrease hot steam); C. enhance the primary pressure of the tank (suits
only the pressure rise under the premise of liquid phase balance); D. Take the measure
of effective adiabatic enswathement to suction inlet pipelines and return air inlet
pipelines; E. Other conditions being the same, better pump structure causes less
pressure loss; F. Decrease the amount of turnings and elongate the diameter of each
turning angle as possible.

examine the cooling state of the pump the blow-off valve is to fixed at a high point on
the pipeline). Decrease the amount of turnings and elongate the diameter of each
turning angle as possible. Besides, heat insulation is a must.
6. Drainage pipeline
The diameter of the drainage pipeline should be at least as long as that of the drainage
inlet, usually longer, at least with a length of 3 meters. A blow-off valve is necessary
to be fixed on the drainage pipeline to vent some air based on the forecolding stage so
as to speed the startup of the pump. A pressure switch had better be set on the
drainage pipeline to ensure the security of the whole system by cutting the power
automatically and stop the pump when the working pressure goes beyond the
originally set one.
Warning: The pump is a positive variable one. If the pressure pipeline is shut off,
over 20 Mpa of pressure would be formed, which would likely to
damage the system severely. Therefore, safety valve is a must in the
pressure pipeline.

Rotating direction: The pump may turn bi-directionally. To ensure the life time of
crosshead, slides and shafts, the rotating direction of the motor may be altered in a
certain period.(about 2000 hours)
VI. Start up
To cool the pump, open all the air return valves, liquid suction valves on the tank. The
suction pressure of the pump should be over 0.02Mpa, or it would be impossible to set
up valid NPSP and then unable to start up. Afterwards, open the blow-off valve,
where, when liquid appears, the cooling process ends.
Low –temperature liquid ought to be in the saturated state or certain
undercooling state. If the liquid temperature gets too close to the vapor phrase point,
pressure loss, would be caused in the operation of suction valve, making the pump
evacuated. It is called gas corrosion, which may possibly damage the pump. After the
completion of cooling (In about 5-10 minutes), you may turn on the motor, when the
air return valves, liquid suction valves are still in the wholly opened state.
In the normal starting, the following phenomena would appear:
a) The drainage pipelines of the pump begins to frost;
b) Slight shaking sounds may be heard, which prove inflow valve and outflow
valve are in the working state;
c) Gradually increasing pressure would be shown on the pressure gauge on the
drainage pipelines.
Attention: If the sealing appliance leaks a bit in the process of starting up after
cooling, screw the notch nuts slightly with special tools (ok as long as it
no longer leaks). Never screw the nuts too tight, which would cause
excessive high temperature of the piston shaft, shortening the life time
of the sealing appliance.
The pump is designed with advanced cool end structure, holding high resistance to
gas corrosion. Hence, in usual cases, you may start up the motor just after the primary
cooling and it soon works normally. It is very convenient to operate. If the electrically
controlled box shakes fiercely, the users are suggested to separate the electrically
controlled box from the base and fix it to the earth or other places.

If abnormal sound gives off, and it is shown in the pressure pipeline that
excessively high pressure is formed, stop the pump at once and examine for the
reason. If the pressure cannot go high enough, look for reasons before shutting the
pump.
After the filling procedure, shut the inflow valve and air return valve first and then cut
off motor power of the pump. Open the blow-off valve to let out the remaining liquid.
Shut it timely after this step to protect the pump head from water, which would then
be frozen.
If there appears something wrong with the system, cut off the power first to stop
the operation of the pump. Start up again after the problem solved.
VIII. Maintenance
Warning: make sure the power is cut off and liquid is in the state of low
temperature when the pump is examined or repaired. Any unsafe operation
would bring electric shock or accidental injury.

move away the motor. Check to see if any abrasion or crack emerges. If necessary,
change them into a new set of belts.
(6) Disassemble the pump head from the transmitting box, which is operated as
below:
Unscrew the nuts connecting the pump head and the transmitting box and separate
them. No too strong outside force to avoid distortion of the pump. Move the whole
pump head sub-assembly to a clean repairing place.

(1) Wipe the slide, both ends of the connection rod and outer surface of the cross-head
with a clean piece of cloth. Carefully fix the assembly of rod and cross-head into
the box from the back end cover. First, lightly draw the rod with a proper wood
stick. Then fix the assembly of the axletree and eccentric wheel into the box along
the box body. Drill the eccentric wheel through the big end bearing metal of the
rod, aiming at the position of connection rod and eccentric wheel. Fit both the
right and left end covers on the box and screw both bolts tight.
(2) Fix the back end cover on the box and screw the bolts.
(3) Install the belt wheel and key on the shaft extension of the box. Keep the axle hole
and the surface of axle head in the same plane.
(4) Screw tight the bolts on the oil drain hole.
(5) Fill N46 lubricant oil through No. 32 air hole, with the oil surface at half the
height of the oil plate lens
(6) Circumvolve the belt wheel to ensure the transmitting box can work freely.
With the above operation, the transmitting box is installed.
3. The maintenance and repairing procedures of the cold end of pump head.
Warning: As it is a cold end of vacuum inter-layer, never spoil the vacuum joint.
When it needs repairing out and out, you are suggested to change all the fragile
spare parts such as piston rings, guide rings, seal rings, gaskets and floating
valves.

The teardown of the cooling terminal of the pump head has finished until this step.
The rinse & installation should be taken in a clean and dry room. The operator should
be equipped to prevent the dirt& impurity in the clothing or body from the
components. Dangerous damage such as fire or explode may be caused by the
pollutant against oxygen medium such as dirt, moisture, fibre and lubricator (or
hominine grease). Collect all the components of the cooling terminal of the pump
head and rinse& dry before installation.
(2) Cut the new piston ring along the axis with two-sided blade. The piston ring is
composed of two rings, so could be separated after cut. Keep the two rings with an
angle of 180° in installation. Cut the new guide ring along 45 ° of axis with two-sided
blade, then install. Insert the piston pole into the pitch hole of the cylinder.

Above are the steps for installation of cooling terminal of pump head.
Attention: Before start, the strap wheel must be swayed by hand and let the
piston in pump reciprocate for several times. If there is no abnormity, power
could be plugged for pilot.
1. No discharge
A. Cause: reverse tube
Remedy: If the air blocked in the reverse tube, the tube should be replaced (refer to
reverse tube in Page 4) and the discharge valve should be opened to exhaust the air
completely. The reverse valve on the reserve slot should be opened.
Remedy: If caused by frozen, before start the door should be heated and dried; if
caused by pollutants, before start the valve door should be removed to clean and dried;
if caused by poor flexibility of the cone pole in the incoming valve, the pole should be
removed and scratched with fine sand paper until the pole is flexible. Then rinse, dry
and install the pole; if caused by deficient clearance between the floating valve core in
the drain valve, reduce the OD of the floating valve core until there still exists some
clearance around it when the core put into the drain hole of the pump.

Remedy: open the discharge valve in the reserve slot and discharge some gas to
lower the liquid temp.
E. Cause: the piston ring worn out or incoming& drain valve leaks
Remedy: replace piston ring; if incoming valve leaks, abrade the cone pole utile
pass the Carbon tetrachloride test ( no leak), if drain valve leaks, replace floating core.
2. Flow deficient
Cause: the input& output valve door not sealed compactly.
Remedy: remove, check or replace corresponding parts.
