Flow Capacity
e Trifecta Pro 30K system is designed to supply high
pressure cryogenic liquid to a vaporizer, while the reserve
tank is being lled with lower pressure liquid. Its priority is
to maintain supply pressure at or above the required pressure
setting e unique design has self-contained diagnostics that
alert the operator when the process exceeds the ow rating of
the Trifecta
e Pro Series can supply liquid nitrogen and liquid argon in
a maximum allowable working pressure of 600 psi

e system uses ambient vaporizers to maintain pressure
and convert the cryogen into gas; therefore, the performance
is dependent on the weather conditions. e best ambient
conditions are warm, dry air. e worst is damp air just above
the freezing point.
e Pro Series was developed and tested by Chart's New
Product Development group Ball Ground, GA.
For example: the Trifecta 30K is rated to deliver liquid nitro-
gen at 550 psi @ 30,000 SCFH in ambient conditions similar
to Ball Ground. If the end user can tolerate lower delivery
pressures, the Pro 30K can deliver even greater ow rates

for continuous duties in excess of 8-10
hours per day. Higher duty cycles require
auxiliary pressure build capacity and
properly sized process vaporizers.
General
Congratulations, you are now the owner of a Chart Trifecta
Pro Series 30K high-pressure gas supply system.
Chart works closely with our customers to ensure the total
system is designed properly, making the Trifecta system as
eective as possible. Built for long-term durability and indus-
try leading design, these systems give customers the highest
performance at the lowest operating cost - all while providing
a single point of contact for ecient project management.
Typical Layout
ere are three main components to the "Trifecta" system:
• Medium Pressure Bulk Tank (Minimum 175 psig)
• Vaporizer(s)
• Trifecta Pro 30K Skid
e Trifecta Pro 30K has been designed for ease of installa-
tion and operation. An ideal install has the Trifecta Pro Series
skid close to the liquid use valve on the bulk tank, the pres-
sure building side (back) of the skid and the vaporizer facing
the sun ("heat of the day").
A typical layout is shown here:
Introduction

Introduction Product Manual - Trifecta®Pro Series
e ow performance depends on the ability of the total
system to:
• Build pressure in the transfer tanks using gravity and
ambient coils.
–Proper air ow and sunlight reaching the pressure
building coils.
–Extreme weather conditions, and/or duty cycles, may
require de-icing of the pressure building system or the
addition of higher capacity vaporizers.
• Vaporize liquid into gas to maintain pressure and ow at
the use point.
–e vaporizer must be sized for the geographical loca-
tion, ow/pressure requirements and duty cycle.
–Less than optimum sun light and air ows across the
coils will reduce the performance.
• Fill times - relling the reserve tank from the bulk tank
prior to the primary tank emptying.
–e overall ow rate of the system can be limited by
the systems ability to rell. Flow out cannot exceed
ow in!
–Special care must be given in selection of the bulk tank
that supplies the Trifecta.
–e tanks heat leak performance is critical in transfer-
ring cryogen in the liquid state to the Trifecta.
–Liquid use lines and valves out of the bulk tank must
be sized properly. Small restrictive liquid lines and
valves will increase ll times and increase losses.
–e pressure building system of the bulk tank needs to
be sized to build tank sub-cool. e sub-cool condi-
tion (pressure above the liquid saturation pressure)
helps keep ow rates up and the cryogen in the liquid
state as it travels to the Trifecta.
–Liquid feed lines from the bulk tank to the Trifecta
must be kept as short as possible. Longer liquid ll
lines will lead to longer ll times and additional losses.
Take great care in laying out your Trifecta system.
Insulating the liquid feed line will reduce its eective
length resulting in decreased ll times and reduced
losses.

SafetyProduct Manual - Trifecta®Pro Series
General
All operators should have a full and complete understanding
of the content of this manual before operating the equipment
described. is manual is intended to describe the operation
of the equipment and not intended to supersede any site-spe-
cic standards.
As with any cryogenic system, it should be observed that any
non-insulated piping can get extremely cold and should not
be touched by exposed skin. If the system requires mainte-
nance, it should be shut down and allowed to warm-up.
If maintenance is to be done on the system, such as chang-
ing valve seats, it is extremely important that the pressure
be relieved from the system through the vent valves. e
ve transmitters can monitor the system pressure and liquid
levels.
When doing maintenance on the system, it is recommended
that the manual isolation valve to the bulk tank be closed.
Safety Summary
Strict compliance with proper safety and handling practices
is necessary when using a cryogenic system. We recommend
that all our customers re-emphasize safety and safe handling
practices to all their employees and customers.
While every possible safety feature has been designed into the
unit and safe operations are anticipated, it is essential that the
user of the cryogenic system carefully read to fully under-
stand all WARNINGS and CAUTION notes listed in this
safety summary and enumerated below.
Also read the information provided in the Safety Bulletin
for Oxygen and Inert Gases following this Safety Summary.
Periodic review of the Safety Summary is recommended.
Warning! In oxygen enriched atmospheres
ammable items burn
vigorously and could explode.
Warning! Do not permit smoking or open
ame in any area where oxygen
is stored, handled, or used.
Failure to comply with this
warning may result in serious
personal injury.
Excess accumulation of oxygen creates an oxygen-enriched
atmosphere (dened by the Compressed Gas Association as
an oxygen concentration above 23%). Certain items con-
sidered non-combustible in air may burn rapidly in such an
environment. Keep all organic materials and other ammable
substances away from possible contact with oxygen; particu-
larly oil, grease, kerosene, cloth, wood, paint, tar, coal, dust,
and dirt which may contain oil or grease.
Exposure to such an oxygen decient atmosphere can lead to
unconsciousness and serious injury, including death.
Caution! Before removing any parts or
loosening ttings, empty the
cryogenic container of liquid
contents and release any vapor
pressure in a safe manner.
External valves and ttings can become extremely cold and
may cause painful burns to personnel unless properly pro-
tected. Personnel must wear protective gloves and eye protec-
tion whenever removing parts or loosening ttings. Failure to
do so may result in personal injury due to the extreme cold
and pressure in the tank.
Warning! Accidental contact of liquid
gases with skin or eyes may
cause a freezing injury similar to
a burn.
Handle liquid so that it will not splash or spill. Protect your
eyes and cover skin where the possibility of contact with
liquid, cold pipes and equipment, or cold gas exists. Safety
goggles or a face shield should be worn if liquid ejection
or splashing may occur or cold gas may issue forcefully
from equipment. Clean, insulated gloves that can be easily
removed and long sleeves are recommended for arm protec-
tion. Cuess trousers should be worn over the shoes to shed
spilled liquid.
Do not use regulators, ttings, hoses, etc., which have been
previously used in a compressed air environment. And do not
use oxygen equipment for compressed air. Failure to comply
with these instructions may result in serious damage to the
container.
Safety

Safety Product Manual - Trifecta®Pro Series
Caution! Before locating oxygen
equipment, become familiar
with the relevant National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA)
standards for “Bulk Oxygen
Systems at Customer Sites,”
and with all local safety codes.
e NFPA standard (www.nfpa.org) covers general principles
recommended for installing bulk oxygen systems on industri-
al and institutional consumer premises.
Caution! To prevent possible tip over, do
not leave tank standing upright
unless it is secured to its
foundation (bolted down).
Transporting and erection of the tank should be performed
in accordance with rigging instructions available from Chart.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in seri-
ous damage to the container.

cryogenics is available from the CGA at www.cganet.com.
Cryogenic containers, stationary or portable, are from time
to time subjected to assorted environmental conditions of
an unforeseen nature. is safety bulletin is intended to call
attention to the fact that whenever a cryogenic container is
involved in any incident whereby the container or its safety
devices are damaged, good safety practices must be followed.
e same holds true whenever the integrity or function of a
container is suspected of abnormal operation.
Good safety practices dictate the contents of a damaged or
suspect container be carefully emptied as soon as possible.
Under no circumstances should a damaged container be le
with product in it for an extended period of time. Further, a
damaged or suspect container should not be relled unless
the unit has been repaired and re-certied.
Incidents which require that such practices be followed
include: highway accidents, immersion of a container in
water, exposure to extreme heat or re, and exposure to most
adverse weather conditions (earthquake, tornadoes, etc.) As a
rule of thumb, whenever a container is suspected of abnor-
mal operation, or has sustained actual damage, good safety
practices must be followed.
In the event of known or suspected container vacuum prob-
lems (even if an extraordinary circumstance such as those
noted has not occurred), do not continue to use the unit.
Continued use of a cryogenic container that has a vacuum
problem can lead to embrittlement and cracking. Further,
the carbon steel jacket could possibly rupture if the unit is
exposed to inordinate stress conditions caused by an internal
liquid leak.
Prior to reusing a damaged container, the unit must be tested,
evaluated, and repaired as necessary. It is highly recommend-
ed that any damaged container be returned to Chart for
repair and re-certication.
e remainder of this safety bulletin addresses those adverse
environments that may be encountered when a cryogenic
container has been severely damaged. ese are oxygen
decient atmospheres, oxygen enriched atmospheres, and
exposure to inert gases.
Oxygen Decient Atmospheres
Warning! Nitrogen and argon vapors in
air may dilute the concentration
of oxygen necessary to support
or sustain life. Exposure to
such an oxygen decient
atmosphere can lead to
unconsciousness and serious
injury, including death.
e normal oxygen content of air is approximately 21%. De-
pletion of oxygen content in air, either by combustion or by
displacement with inert gas, is a potential hazard and users
should exercise suitable precautions.
One aspect of this possible hazard is the response of humans
when exposed to an atmosphere containing only 8 to 12%
oxygen. In this environment, unconsciousness can be imme-
diate with virtually no warning.
When the oxygen content of air is reduced to about 15 to
16%, the ame of ordinary combustible materials, including
those commonly used as fuel for heat or light, may be extin-
guished. Somewhat below this concentration, an individual
breathing the air is mentally incapable of diagnosing the
situation because the onset of symptoms such as sleepiness,
fatigue, lassitude, loss of coordination, errors in judgment
and confusion can be masked by a state of “euphoria,” leaving
the victim with a false sense of security and well being.

5
SafetyProduct Manual - Trifecta®Pro Series
Human exposure to an atmosphere containing 12% or less
oxygen leads to rapid unconsciousness. Unconsciousness can
occur so rapidly that the user is rendered essentially helpless.
is can occur if the condition is reached by an immediate
change of environment, or through the gradual depletion of
oxygen.
Most individuals working in or around oxygen decient
atmospheres rely on the “buddy system” for protection -
obviously the “buddy” is equally susceptible to asphyxiation
if he or she enters the area to assist the unconscious partner
unless equipped with a portable air supply. Best protection is
obtainable by equipping all individuals with a portable supply
of respirable air. Life lines are acceptable only if the area is
essentially free of obstructions and individuals can assist one
another without constraint.
If an oxygen decient atmosphere is suspected or known to
exist:
1. Use the “buddy system.” Use more than one “buddy” if
necessary to move a fellow worker in an emergency.
2. Both the worker and “buddy” should be equipped with self-
contained or airline breathing equipment.
Oxygen Enriched Atmospheres
An oxygen-enriched atmosphere occurs whenever the normal
oxygen content of air is allowed to rise above 23%. While
oxygen is nonammable, ignition of combustible materials
can occur more readily in an oxygen-rich atmosphere than
in air; and combustion proceeds at a faster rate although no
more heat is released.
It is important to locate an oxygen system in a well venti-
lated location since oxygen-rich atmospheres may collect
temporarily in conned areas during the functioning of a
safety relief device or leakage from the system.
Oxygen system components, including but not limited to,
containers, valves, valve seats, lubricants, ttings, gaskets
and interconnecting equipment including hoses, shall have
adequate compatibility with oxygen under the conditions of
temperature and pressure to which the components may be
exposed in the containment and use of oxygen. Easily ignit-
able materials shall be avoided unless they are parts of equip-
ment or systems that are approved, listed, or proven suitable
by tests or by past experience.
Compatibility involves both combustibility and ease of
ignition. Materials that burn in air may burn violently in pure
oxygen at normal pressure, and explosively in pressurized
oxygen. In addition, many materials that do not burn in air
may do so in pure oxygen, particularly when under pressure.
Metals for containers and piping must be carefully select-
ed, depending on service conditions. The various steels are
acceptable for many applications, but some service condi-
tions may call for other materials (usually copper or its alloy)
because of their greater resistance to ignition and lower rate
of combustion.
Similarly, materials that can be ignited in air have lower igni-
tion energies in oxygen. Many such materials may be ignited
by friction at a valve seat or stem packing, or by adiabatic
compression produced when oxygen at high pressure is rap-
idly introduced into a system initially at low pressure.
Warning! If clothing should be splashed
with liquid oxygen it will become
highly ammable and easily
ignited while concentrated
oxygen remains. Such clothing
must be aired out immediately,
removing the clothing if
possible, and should not be
considered safe for at least 30
minutes.
Nitrogen and Argon
Nitrogen and argon (inert gases) are simple asphyxiates.
Neither gas will support or sustain life and can produce
immediate hazardous conditions through the displacement
of oxygen. Under high pressure these gases may produce
narcosis even though an adequate oxygen supply sucient
for life is present.
Nitrogen and argon vapors in air dilute the concentration of
oxygen necessary to support or sustain life. Inhalation of high
concentrations of these gases can cause anoxia, resulting in
dizziness, nausea, vomiting, or unconsciousness and possibly
death. Individuals should be prohibited from entering areas
where the oxygen content is below 19% unless equipped with
a self-contained breathing apparatus. Unconsciousness and
death may occur with virtually no warning if the oxygen
concentration is below approximately 8%. Contact with cold
nitrogen or argon gas or liquid can cause cryogenic (extreme
low temperature) burns and freeze body tissue.

Safety Product Manual - Trifecta®Pro Series
Persons suering from lack of oxygen should be immediately
moved to areas with normal atmospheres. SELF-CON-
TAINED BREATHING APPARATUS MAY BE REQUIRED
TO PREVENT ASPHYXIATION OF RESCUE WORKERS.
Assisted respiration and supplemental oxygen should be
given if the victim is not breathing. If cryogenic liquid or cold
boil-o gas contacts worker’s skin or eyes, the aected tissue
should be ooded or soaked with tepid water (105-115ºF or
41-46ºC). DO NOT USE HOT WATER. Cryogenic burns
that result in blistering or deeper tissue freezing should be
examined promptly by a physician.
Chart customer stations are designed with the following
safety features:
• A vacuum maintenance system specically designed to
provide long life and all possible safety provisions.
• Safety relief devices to protect the pressure vessel and
vacuum casing sized and selected in accordance with
ASME standards to include a dual relief valve. While
Chart equipment is designed and built to the most rigid
standards, no piece of mechanical equipment can ever be
100% foolproof.

Installation Procedure
e installation of the Trifecta Pro 30K should be done in the
following order:
1. Place Trifecta Pro 30K Skid on concrete pad next
to bulk tank — concrete pad specifications should
be in conformance with local building codes and
reviewed by a licensed engineer.
2. Attach feet (A) to Trifecta 30K stand in (8) places on
base of frame using hardware supplied, parts B, C,
and D in pre-drilled holes:

D 3/8-16 SS HEX BOLT 16
3. Pipe Trifecta 30K liquid fill line to bulk tank labeled
“From Bulk Tank.” For maximum eciency, this line
should be insulated and no smaller that 1. Part A is
pre-drilled for anchor bolts as showing the second
image below (See Fig. 1)
a. Use liquid withdrawal line on bulk tank
Note: Do not use the dip tube line.
4. Pipe Trifecta 30K gas use line to external vaporizer
labeled “To Vaporizer.” To minimize ice build-up on
pipe, this line should be insulated (See Fig. 1).
5. Connect power supply to dedicated 120V AC, 15
amp circuit. Connect ethernet cable.
6. Commission Trifecta Pro 30K System.
Placement of Trifecta 30K Skid
e Trifecta Pro 30K skid has four liing lugs on the top of
the skid. ese liing lugs allow for placement of the skid by
overhead crane. If an overhead crane is not available, the skid
has fork truck access as well.
Note: TheTrifectaProSeriesassemblyweighs
almost 4500 lbs. empty (2041 kg).
e Trifecta Pro 30K skid should be placed on the concrete
pad near the bulk storage tank as seen in the Introduction
portion of this manual. e skid should be placed as close to
the bulk tank as possible without interfering with any other
equipment or service requirements of the tank. e system
requires a transfer of liquid and gas between the bulk storage
tank and the Trifecta Pro 30K skid. is process becomes less
ecient with increasing transfer line length.
Note: Each site may have unique requirements;
however,itisrecommendedtofollowthe
basic layout located in the Introduction
section of this manual.
e skid should also be placed such that there is easy access
to all sides of the unit. e skid should be placed where it
may receive a maximum amount of sunlight and airow. One
must be able to check the individual cylinder gauges, the
control box, and any of the solenoid valves or transmitters at
any time. Consideration should also be given to the external
vaporizer placement on the concrete pad.
Note: Itisimportantthatthesunandwind
contact both the external vaporizer and
pressure build coils inside the skid to
insure optimal operation of the unit and
prevent unusual buildup of ice.
Note: DonotlocatetheTrifectaorVaporizer
near equipment that produces excessive
moisture(i.e.coolingtowers,drains,
etc.)

Liquid Line Piping to Bulk Tank
e Trifecta Pro 30K skid requires a liquid line piped from
the bulk storage tank. is line will serve two functions. First,
to allow the high pressure gas to return to the liquid side of
the bulk tank (reduce losses), second, to allow the transfer
of liquid from the bulk tank to the Trifecta. By removing the
tube connection between A and B — shown in Fig. 1 on next
page — the high-pressure vent gas can be separately piped to
the gas phase of the bulk tank, or totally vented to atmosphere.
Venting the Trifecta to the gas phase is oen useful when the
customer has a gas requirement out of the same tank.
e backside (PB Side) of the Pro Series skid has two/three
connection points (See Fig. 1).
• Connection (A) serves as both the high pressure gas
outlet and the liquid inlet when the tubing connection
between A and B is in place
• Connection (B) is the high pressure gas outlet when the
tubing connector between A and B has been removed.
• Connection (C) is the high pressure liquid outlet to the
process vaporizers .

Bulk Tank Pressure Transmitter
e system controller requires the pressure input of the bulk
tank to perform the lling procedure as eciently as possi-
ble is is done through a pressure transmitter e pressure
transmitter measures the pressure of the bulk tank and sends
an electrical signal back to the controller e transmitter for
the bulk tank is located in the upper piping of the Trifecta
Pro 30K and pre-wired into the control box No additional
piping is required by the customer to receive the bulk tank
pressure; this will automatically read the current bulk tank
pressure, unlike previous models.

Electrical Power Supply
A dedicated 120-volt AC, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit must be provided to power the Trifecta Pro 30K control system If 120 VAC is
not available, an appropriately sized transformer may be necessary
e Allen Bradley PLC is mounted within a NEMA 4 control box as shown in the following photograph (Fig 2)
Figure 2 - Allen Bradley Control Panel
It is important that care is taken to install the Trifecta Pro 30K system on a dedicated electrical power circuit that is clean and
protected. Circuits that are susceptible to noise and brownouts may cause erratic system behavior. Care should also be taken
to avoid installation on a circuit that regularly gets turned on and o to provide power to another piece of equipment (lights,
heaters, cooling systems etc.). It should be recognized that a PLC (computer) controls the Trifecta Pro 30K system and a clean,
steady circuit must be used to power the Trifecta Pro 30K system. Connecting the Trifecta to a circuit that is backed up by a
generator might also be advantageous.
Commissioning
e following procedures should be followed when rst commissioning the Trifecta.
Warning! It is important to purge the entire Trifecta Pro 30K and piping with warm, dry nitrogen
before running the system with liquid. Water vapor can cause ice crystals to form
that may cause the solenoid valves and other critical components to operate
improperly.
