LIQUID WITHDRAWAL DEVICE - Taylor-Wharton

TW-43LIQUIDWITHDRAWAL DEVICEFor Liquid NitrogenLD25, LD35, and50LD DewarsThe Liquid Withdrawal Device (LWD) provides convenientpressure transfer to liquid nitrogen from LD25,LD35, and50LD Dewars. The device clamps directly to the specialneck flange that is found under the plastic trim collararound the neck of these containers.Flow rates up to 8 liters per minutes are possible atoperating pressures up to 10 psig (0.7 bar/69 kPa). Liquidcan be dispensed directly from the LWD via the spoutprovided, or through a standard cryogenic hose connectedto the liquid outlet.Filling a Dewar is accomplished by pressure transferthrough the withdrawal device. (See Filling Instructions.)This filling method allows replenishment of theliquid supply in the Dewar without removing the LWD,while keeping the liquid saturated at a pressure sufficientto sustain liquid withdrawal.SafetyBefore using this equipment, read these instructionscarefully. Also, read and understand the instructions suppliedwith your Dewar and the Handle with Care bookletpacked with all Liquid Nitrogen Dewars. The Handle withCare booklet (Form TW-10) gives detailed information onthe safe handling of liquid nitrogen. Additional copies ofthese publications can be obtained from your supplier. Donot modify LWD or Dewar or use in a manner other than thatdescribed in accompanying instructions and documentation.Contact with liquid nitrogen or cold gas may causeserious freezing (frostbite) injury. Do not touch liquid orcold metal surfaces with your bare skin. Always wear a faceshield and gloves when transferring liquid nitrogen.Vent all pressure from a Dewar before attempting toremove the Liquid Withdrawal Device. If the band clampsecuring the LWD to a dewar is loosened while there ispressure in the Dewar, cold gas or liquid could be expelledcausing personal injury.Liquid Withdrawal Device is for use with liquid nitrogenonly. LWD is for use on specific model Taylor-WhartonDewars listed above.Pressure in Dewar with LWD installed should neverexceed 10 psi. Fill dewar from supply source at 22 psi orless. Do not pressurize using compressed air.Nitrogen gas can cause suffocation without warning.In a confined area, nitrogen gas from this equipment maydisplace air required for breathing. Store and use thisequipment only in well-ventilated areas.Use only containers designed for low-temperatureliquids. Cryogenic containers should be filled SLOWLY tominimize stresses which can damage the container.

Installation1. Remove the necktube cap/core from the Dewar.2. Remove 3 flat-head mounting screws in the base ofthe plastic trim collar around the neck of the Dewar,remove the collar and discard or save for later. It is notused while the LWD is installed.valve. Tighten the compression nuts with a wrench tosecure.5. Position the safety cable assembly around the top of theDewar, underneath the flange. Loosen V-Band Clampuntil the clamp is large enough to remove from theLWD. Drop the band clamp around the flange on theDewar (see Figure 2).6. Clean the flange O-ring and apply a thin layer of siliconegrease before placing it on the grooved flange.NOTE: Be sure flanges surfaces are warm, clean anddry. The O-ring must be cleaned and lightly lubricatedbefore installing the LWD.7. Carefully lower the LWD unit into the Dewar. The LWDshould rest firmly centered on the neck flange of theDewar; the liquid withdrawal tube should not touch thebottom of the Dewar.3. The liquid withdrawal tube (the longer of the two plastictubes) is scored approximately 6 in. (152 mm) from theend. This tube must be shortened for use with a LD25or LD35 Dewar by breaking off the 6 in. (152 mm)section. Discard the 6 in. (152 mm) piece. The tube isused as supplied with the LD50.4. Insert the longer plastic tube into the underside of theflange assembly, beneath the LIQUID valve. Insert theshorter plastic tube into the threaded fitting on theunderside of the flange assembly, beneath the VENT8. Place the band clamp around the flanges of both theLWD unit and the Dewar. Be sure that the clamp isproperly engaged on both flanges. Tighten the clamp –hand tighten only.9. Attach the snap of the safety cable to the ring on theLWD (see figure 2).10. If the spout assembly is to be used, install it on theoutlet fitting above the LIQUID valve. The phase separatorwill ensure a controlled flow of liquid.
