GENERAL DESCRIPTION The SC, XC and LAB series container is a vacuum insulated container of aluminum with fiberglass neck construction providing the highest efficiency possible in liquid nitrogen storage. Use the container for inert fluids only. Liquid oxygen is not compatible with fiberglass material and must not be stored. A sharp blow to the outer vessel can damage the neck tube or start a vacuum leak. Use caution and common sense in handling the container. The life expectancy of the CryoSystem Series is five (5) years. SC, XC, and Lab Series have a life expectancy of ten (10) years. Upon receipt of the container, examine both the container and packaging for any evidence of damage during shipping. Contact the shipping agent if any damage is apparent. Watch after the first fill for any signs of vacuum loss, such as frost or sweating on the outside jacket. (Some frost near the tip just after filling is normal). A. SAFETY To avoid injury by frostbite, use extreme care whenever handling liquid nitrogen, liquid nitrogen storage, transfer vessels or any objects which have come in contact with liquid nitrogen. • Leave no areas of skin exposed. • Always wear proper safety attire over clothing: face shield, cryogenic gloves, cryogenic apron. • Never overfill liquid nitrogen vessels. • Always keep liquid nitrogen vessel in an upright position. • Do not tightly seal liquid nitrogen container or prevent nitrogen gas from escaping. • Use extreme care to prevent spilling and splashing liquid nitrogen during transfer. • Immediately remove any clothing or safety attire on which liquid nitrogen has been spilled. • Get immediate medical attention for any frostbite injuries due to liquid nitrogen. WARNING: The venting of nitrogen vapors will deplete oxygen in the air, possibly leading to asphyxiation or even death. DO NOT store or use liquid container in areas that have poor ventilation. Name and address of manufacturer Authorized representative in the European Community B. FILLING INSTRUCTIONS To avoid damage to the aluminum cryogenic vessel which may result in premature vacuum loss, it is important to follow this procedure during the addition of liquid nitrogen to a warm vessel and on subsequent additions. 1. Slowly pour liquid nitrogen into new or warm vessels with a funnel or transfer line when possible. 2. Allow liquid nitrogen to settle in vessel for 2 hours to completely cool inner. 3. Fill the vessel to the desired level after the 2 hr settling (cooldown) time. 4. If filling the dewar from a pressurized source, make sure that the source tank is at a low pressure (22 psi or below). 5. If transfer hose is used for extracting liquid nitrogen from a pressurized liquid source always use a phase separator on the end of the hose. 6. Remember to always wear proper safety attire over clothing; face shield, cryogenic gloves, and apron. 7. Never overfill your dewar with liquid nitrogen. Overfilling the tank may cause pumpout components to leak leading to immediate or premature vacuum failure to occur. C. MEASURING LIQUID NITROGEN QUANTITY 1. Use wooden or plastic dipstick. Never use a hollow tube to measure liquid nitrogen. 2. Level will be indicated by frostline, which develops when dipstick is removed. D. LIQUID WITHDRAWAL 1. Liquid withdrawal from LAB units must be accomplished by pouring or utilizing a withdrawal device. Withdrawal device pressurizes to approximately 5 psi and the pressure forces liquid up the withdrawal tube out the valve. 2. Always wear proper safety attire; shield, gloves and apron. 2
