Temperatures are rising, and you may notice some differences in the performance of your liquid-to-gas transfilling system. While not everyone will experience these changes due to variations in geography and local or building conditions, we want to ensure you have the best practices to maintain efficient and effective transfilling operations. Here are a few important reminders to help you continue successfully with your liquid-to-gas system this summer:

Keep Spare Parts Handy
Ensure you have at least one top pump seal on hand as a spare. This critical component can prevent downtime. You can order it using part # OF-751.

Plan for a Nitrogen Purge
Summer is an excellent time to perform maintenance on your cryogenic tank and pump. Consider planning a Nitrogen purge to remove impurities and ensure optimal performance. Our Nitrogen purge kit (# OF-803) makes this task straightforward.

Use a Fan to Reduce Ice and Frost Buildup
Position a fan to blow air across the top of your cryogenic tank, especially around the top pump seal area. This simple step can help minimize ice and frost buildup, which can impair the efficiency of your system.

Transfill in Cooler Conditions
If your transfilling operations are in a building without climate control, aim to fill cylinders in the morning when temperatures are lower. Cooler ambient temperatures during the filling process can reduce the risk of overheating and improve overall safety and efficiency.

Schedule Annual Employee Training
Ensure your employees are up-to-date with their annual training. Well-trained staff are crucial for maintaining safety and efficiency. Start making arrangements for any necessary training sessions.
