Vapor release from depressurized liquid helium
In addition to liquid losses due to container and transfer tube normal heatleak, tube and receiving vessel cool down, boil-off in the container resultingfrom heat input of the pressurizing gas and saturated vapor equalization,there is a flash loss from the pressure drop in a transfer line and a loss fromdepressurizing a container after making a partial withdrawal.
For best transfer efficiency, the withdrawal should be started andmaintained with as low a pressure as practical. Too low a pressure willrequire a longer time to make a transfer and thus permit heat leak in thetransfer system to become excessive. A balance between effects of heat leakand depressurization generally may be attained by operating in a pressurerange of 2 to 3 psig.
Flash loss due to pressure drop through the transfer line may be estimated byuse of Chart 1 “Helium Flash Rate.” Depressurization loss of liquid in thecontainer may be estimated by use of Chart 2 “Helium DepressurizationLosses.”
For example: Assume a helium container is discharging at a constantpressure of 5 psig. From Chart 1 the flash loss is approximately 13.8%of the liquid entering the transfer tube. From Chart 2 the loss fromdepressurizing the container is approximately 12.5% of the liquidremaining in the container.

Net Positive Suction Head Requirements forCryogenic Pumps
More pump problems result from incorrect determination of Net PositiveSuction Head (NPSH) than from any other single cause.
Liquids at any temperature above their freezing have a corresponding vaporpressure which must be taken into account when planning a pumping system.NPSH can be defined as the difference between the actual pressure and thevapor pressure of the liquid at the suction port of the pump. This is alsosometimes referred to as “sub-cooling” or “super pressure.”
While sitting idle, the liquid in a storage vessel will gradually absorb heat andwith all the vents closed, will generate pressures that are directly related to thetemperature of the liquid. These pressures are called the “saturated vaporpressures.” This saturated condition exists as long as the liquid is at its boilingpoint for any given pressure in the vessel. The important point to remember isthat no matter what the tank pressure is, any reduction in pressure will cause thesaturated liquid to boil.
No cryogenic pump can operate on saturated liquid since in order to establishflow into the pump suction, there must be lower pressure in the pump. Thispressure drop causes the saturated liquid to boil, and the resultant vapors enterthe pump causing it to “cavitate” and lose prime.
To prevent cavitation, some NPSH must be provided to the pump. Theamount of minimum NPSH varies with size, type and make of pump, and isgenerally indicated on the nameplate. The NPSH can be provided by static head,or elevation of liquid above the pump suction and/or by building an artificialpressure in the supply tank with a pressure building coil. This artificial pressuremust be maintained throughout the pumping cycle to insure proper and efficientpump operation.
It is easy to lose, or offset, this “artificial” pressure or liquid head by warmingthe liquid in the suction line to the pump by heat from the atmosphere. It ispossible to have a high “super pressure” in the storage tank so that the liquid ishighly “subcooled” and still have saturated liquid at the pump suction. To preventthis, pump suction lines should be short and well insulated.

Air Pressure Drop In Pipe
30
Air Pressure Drop In Pipe
For lengths of pipe other than 100 feet, the pressure drop is proportional to thelength.Thus, for 50 feet of pipe, the air pressure drop is approximately one-half thevalue given in the table. The pressure drop is also inversely proportional to theabsolute pressure and directly proportional to the absolute temperature.
To determine the pressure drop for inlet or average air pressures other than100 psi and at temperatures other than 60°F, multiply the values given in the tableby the formula:
( 100 + 14.7 ) ( 460 + t )P + 14.7 520
“P” is the inlet or average gauge pressure in pounds per square inch.
“t” is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
The flow of compressed air in cubic feet per minute at any pressure is inverselyproportional to the absolute pressure and directly proportional to the absolutetemperature.
To determine the cubic feet per minute of compressed air at any temperature andpressure other than standard conditions, multiply the value of cubic feet per minuteof free air by the fomula:
( 14.7 ) ( 460 + t )14.7 + P 520
Calculations For Pipe Other Than Schedule 40
To determine the velocity of water, or the pressure drop of water or air, throughpipe other than Schedule 40 use the following formulas:
va = v40 ( d40 )2\] Pa = P40 ( d40 )5
da da
“a” refers to velocity or pressure drop through the desired Schedule pipe.
“40” refers to the velocity or pressure drop through Schedule 40 pipe as givenin the table on the facing page.

The Global Measure ofCryogenic Bulk Storage
Chart has engineered the VS-Siphon 100 systemto provide an economical, reliable and highperformance pumping system for high pressure andliquid cylinder filling. Current cryogenic tank andpumping systems have worked for years, butincreased efficiencies are now available using theSiphon 100 with:
• Simple and reliable automatic pump start-up in
three minutes with 100% product utilization
• Thermal-siphon design manages heat from pumpcool down, keeping storage tank pressure down
• Pump priming at tank pressure of 10 psi (0.69bar) or less without the necessity for pressurebuilding
• Reduce liquid cylinder and Orca filling losses
• Longer life of high-wear pump parts
• Capability to operate two pumps at once (liquidand HP pump)
• Adapters available to match all standard pumps
The VS-Siphon 100 system combines tworevolutionary technologies in cryogenic bulk tanks.
• Thermal-Siphoning — improved and patented, the system reduces andefficiently reprocesses the heat of pumping.
• Composite Insulation — 30% to 70% more efficient than Perlite in reducingthe effects of heat from the atmosphere.

Specific Gravity— The ratio of the mass of a body to the mass of an equal volumeof air (for gases) at a specified temperature. It is dimensionless. For liquids andsolids, it is the ratio of the mass of a body to the mass of an equal volume of water.Specific Heat Ratio— Ratio of specific heat at constant pressure to the specificheat at constant volume at a particular temperature.Specific Volume— The volume occupied by one unit weight of a substance.Superconductivity— The phenomenon by which some substances suddenly loseall electrical resistance when their temperatures are reduced. These transitionsoccur at temperatures lower than that of liquid hydrogen.Thermal Conductivity— The property of a material that describes the rate atwhich heat will be conducted through a unit area of material for a given drivingforce. It is dependent on the material and upon its temperature.Triple Point— The particular condition under which a substance can be present inany or all phases (gaseous, liquid, or solid).Vapor Pressure— The pressure exerted by a vapor in equilibrium with the liquidphase of the same substance.

Definitions & MiscellaneousDefinitions
Absolute Zero— The lowest temperature attainable. All molecular activity isconsidered to cease. Its value is -459.7°F (-273.15°C)Coefficient of Viscosity— A measure of the tendency of a fluid to resist shear.Theunit for viscosity is the poise which is defined as the resistance (in dynes per squarecentimeter of its surface) to one layer of fluid to the motion of a parallel layer one centimeter away and with a relative velocity of one cm per second.Critical Pressure— The pressure under which a substance may exist as a gasin equilibrium with the liquid at the critical temperature.Critical Temperature— The temperature above which a gas cannot be liquified by pressure alone.Cryogenics— The science which involves very low temperatures, usuallyregarded as below -150°F.Density— Mass per unit volume.Dew Point— The temperature at which liquid first condenses when a vaporis cooled.Dielectric Constant— The specific inductive capacitance of a material. It is equalto the ratio of the capacitances of two condensers of identical size, one using theparticular dielectric, the other using air or a vacuum as the dielectric.Joule-Thomson Effect— The change in temperature resulting from expansion ofa gas or vapor through an orifice or other restriction. In general, a lowering oftemperature or cooling effect is the usual result of such an expansion.Latent Heat of Fusion— The heat required to convert a unit mass of substancefrom the solid state to the liquid state at a given pressure (and temperature).Latent Heat of Sublimation— The heat required to convert a unit mass ofsubstance from the solid state to the gaseous state.Latent Heat of Vaporization— The heat required to convert a unit mass ofsubstance from the liquid state to the gaseous state at a given pressure (andtemperature).Liquified Gases— Usually applied to the liquid form of substances which undernormal conditions of temperature and pressure are found as gases. Liquid oxygenis an example.Molecular Weight— The sum of the atomic weights of all the atoms in a molecule.The atomic weight is the relative weight of the atom, on the basis of carbon isotopeC12.Normal Boiling Point— The temperature at which a liquid boils when under a totalpressure of one atmosphere.Normal Sublimation Temperature— The temperature at which a solid sublimesunder a total pressure of one atmosphere.Specific Heat— The ratio of the heat capacity of a body to the heat capacity ofwater at some reference temperature.
