3 Product Manual - Liquid Cylinders
General
Chart has conducted a rigid test program for liquid
cylinders, both internally and through an independent testing
laboratory, to verify the safety of Chart equipment. Dura-
Cyl
®
and Cryo-Cyl
®
Liquid Cylinders are safely designed
with the following features:
• An exclusive all stainless steel support system designed
to withstand many years of rugged service
•
A stainless steel neck tube that is designed not to break in
case of a minor accident, such as a liquid cylinder being
inadvertently tipped over.
• A vacuum maintenance system specifically designed to
provide long life and safety provisions.
• Safety relief devices to protect the pressure vessel
and vacuum casing, sized and selected in accordance
with CGA Pamphlet S-1.1 “Safety Relief Devices for
Cylinders ”
While Chart equipment is designed and built to rigid
standards, no piece of mechanical equipment can ever be
made 100% safe. Strict compliance with proper safety and
handling practices are necessary when using a liquid cylinder
or other compressed gas equipment. We recommend that
all of our customers reemphasize safety and safe handling
practices to all their employees and customers. While safety
features have been designed into the unit and safe operations
are anticipated, it is essential that the user of these liquid
cylinders carefully read to fully understand all WARNINGS
and CAUTIONS listed in this safety section and enumerated
below Also read to fully understand the information
provided in the Safety Summary below.
Safety Summary
Excess accumulation of oxygen creates an oxygen-enriched
atmosphere (defined by the Compressed Gas Association as
an oxygen concentration above 23%).
Warning! In oxygen enriched atmospheres
flammable items burn vigorously
and could explode. Certain items
considered non-combustible in
air may burn rapidly in such an
environment.
Keep all organic materials and other flammable substances
away from possible contact with oxygen; particularly oil,
grease, kerosene, cloth, wood, paint, tar, coal dust, and dirt
which may contain oil or grease
Warning! DO NOT permit smoking or
open flames in any area where
oxygen is stored, handled, or
used. Failure to comply with this
warning may result in serious
personal injury.
Warning! The Dura-Cyl Series and Cryo-
Cyl 80HP cylinder, with their
stainless steel support system,
are designed, manufactured,
and tested to function normally
for many years of service. Chart
does not suggest or warrant that
it is ever safe to drop a liquid
cylinder or let it fall over in
oxygen or any other cryogenic
service.
Caution! Only use replacement equipment
which is compatible with liquid
oxygen and has been cleaned
for oxygen use. Do not use
regulators, fittings, hoses, etc.,
which have been previously
used in compressed air service.
Similarly, do not use oxygen
equipment for compressed air.
Failure to comply with these
instructions may result in serious
damage to the liquid cylinder.
In the event a liquid cylinder is inadvertently dropped, tipped
over, or abused, slowly raise it to its normal vertical position.
Immediately open the vent valve to release any excess
pressure in a safe manner. As soon as possible, remove the
liquid product from the vessel in a safe manner. If the vessel
has been used in oxygen service, purge it with an inert gas
(nitrogen). If damage is evident or suspected, return to Chart
prominently marked “LIQUID CYLINDER DROPPED,
INSPECT FOR DAMAGE.”
Caution! Before removing cylinder parts
or loosening fittings, completely
empty the liquid cylinder of
liquid and release the entire
vapor pressure in a safe manner.
External valves and fittings can
become extremely cold and may
cause painful burns to personnel
unless properly protected.
