These
pumps are of similar construction to the ECC type and are usually located
within the refrigerated cargo tank of a marine gas carrier to transfer such
fluids as LNG, LPG, Ethylene, etc. These units are available for all
applications of liquefied gas carriers and are used for main cargo unloading,
stripping, spray and emergency (retractable) service. The units are fixed to
the bottom of the tanks using a mounting arrangement designed to minimize
stresses, and are connected directly to the discharge piping, which then
travels out through the tops of the tanks.
Flow
capacities range from 20 to 3000 m3/h and with heads up to 200
meters on single stage pumps. A single stage design is most often used,
although multi-stage pumps can also be supplied if required.
Electric
power feed cables and deck penetration assemblies provided by Cryodynamics meet
the requirements of all the major ship classification societies. The main
in-tank power cables are Cryodynamics UL listed armored cables, and can be
provided in all voltage ranges up to 8000 volts. Special designs with built-in
internal filtration are available to handle cargoes that are likely to suffer
particulate contamination such as LPG.
