Centrifugal Pumps

ACD CRYO can supply an extensive range of centrifugal pump from road tanker applications to process duties. Besides our fixed speed gearbox pumps we can also supply pumps for use with frequency inverters drive or hydraulic drive thus removing the gearbox from the pump and allowing it to run quietly with more flexibility.

We have developed Frequency Inverter drive pumps specifically to meet the demanding challenges of road tanker applications and are able to supply a pump system complete with frequency inverter, control boxes and flow meter to meet a complex mixture of standard pressure, low pressure and high pressure applications from a single unit.

Our hydraulically driven TOP 260 pump is arguably the quietest hydraulically driven pump available and is capable of meeting the high pressure (35 bar LIN) requirements for laser tank filling. With its totally enclosed oil lubricated bearing housing and cartridge type mechanical seal it is also one of the simplest pumps to maintain.

Vertical LPG Compressors

Vertical Compressor

F291 Compressor

Compressors are extremely versatile for they can be used to transfer liquids between tanks, off-load/load out liquids, recover residual vapor, and evacuate vapors for maintenance purposes. Many LPG piping systems do not provide ideal NPSH conditions for liquid pumps which causes excessive pump maintenance. Since compressors are only exposed to vapors, they are not affected by poor NPSH conditions. Many LPG pressurized tanks such as railcars and buried tanks have top unloading connections. A compressor can be the perfect solution for transferring liquids to and from such tanks.

Advantages

  • Threaded and ANSI flanges
  • Oil-free design
  • Self-lubricating PTFE1 step-cut piston rings
  • Packing adjustment screw in most models
  • Ductile iron construction
  • Positively locked piston
  • O-ring head gaskets
  • High-efficiency valves

D891 Double Acting CompressorServicability
Corken compressors are designed to minimize required maintenance and make such maintenance extremely simple. Valve replacement may be accomplished without disturbing the piping and ring replacement may be accomplished by simply removing the head.

Versatility
The same compressor installed for one application can easily be piped to be utilized for other plant applications. An example would be a railcar-unloading, in which the compressor can also be utilized to load and unload trucks.

Truck Compressor Applications
Corken’s LPG compressors have an extended crankshaft option for utilization on trucks with PTO and hydraulic drive systems. The compressor can be utilized for loading/ unloading as well as vapor recovery on trucks.

ByPass Valves

B166 (3/4″ and 1″) Automatic Dual Purpose, Bypass Valveshttp://corken.com/media/images/valve_b166.jpg

Applications
Used with all cylinder filling pumps. (Coro-Flo Models and low flow side channel pumps)

The B166B is a combination bypass and priming valve specifically designed for small cylinder filling type pumps, especially of the regenerative turbine type, such as the Coro-Flo pump series. The vapor elimination system keeps liquefied gas pumps primed to increase system reliability and decrease pump and seal wear. The B166B is a smooth operating bypass with moderate pressure buildup.

 

 

T166 (1-1/4″ and 1-1/2″) Pump Flow Control Valve

T166Applications
Used with large capacity pumps filling various sizes of tanks and bottles such as those used with delivery trucks or multi-spot cylinder-filling plants.

The T166 valve provides smooth-acting flow control. Specifically designed for bypass protection for pumps in the 30–100 GPM (6.8–22.7 m3/hr) range, such as those used on delivery trucks. In contrast to the B177, the T166 valve opens gradually as pressure builds up to modulate the flow, bypassing the excess capacity smoothly and silently back to the supply tank. A continuous internal bleed in this valve assists in eliminating vapors.

 

 

B177 (2″ and 2-1/2″) Differential Bypass ValveB177 Bypass Valve

Applications
Used in liquefied-gas bulk plant installations for the loading and unloading pumps.

The B177 is a low-pressure buildup valve specifically designed for applications requiring protection for positive displacement pumps in the 50–350 GPM (11.4–79.5 m3/hr) for smooth-acting flow control. To properly function, this valve requires a pressure sensing line for the storage tank. This valve should be applied where horsepower is limited and accuracy set points and flow points are necessary.
