This manual is intended for use by Chart UltraDoser 2K operators. It is important to read and understand
the information in this manual before installing or operating the system. This manual is provided by
Chart to its customers as a courtesy and, except as expressly provided in this manual, CHART MAKES
NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE CONTENTS IN THIS
MANUAL. CHART ASSUMES NO REPONSIBILITY FOR ANY OUTCOMES AS A RESULT
OF USING THIS MANUAL.
SAFETY FIRST!
Liquid nitrogen must be handled properly. Without proper handling, severe frost bite, cryogenic burning,
oxygen deprivation, and bursting of sealed bottles (or containers) can result.
During this process, you may need:
Safety glasses with side shields and/or protective face shield
Insulated gloves for cryogenic service
Symbols and statements used throughout this text and their meaning are as follows:
Text following this symbol needs extra attention.
IMPORTANT: Text like this is extra information helpful to the situation
CAUTION: Text like this is information to help avoid personal injury and/or property damage.
WARNING!: Text like this is information to help avoid serious personal injury or death and/or
property damage.

Safety
WARNING!: Your UltraDoser 2K may be fed by a vacuum insulated pipe system designed to
contain pressurized, ultra-cold cryogenic liquids. These systems should only be worked on by
trained personnel to avoid serious injuries such as freezing, oxygen deficient atmosphere and
extremely high pressures.
WARNING!: Any configuration which allows a trapped volume of cryogenic liquid or cold gas
must be protected by a pressure relief valve. As the cold liquid/gas gains heat, the contents will
expand and increase in pressure. A section not protected by an over-pressure relief valve will
experience extremely high pressures and significant safety concerns.
WARNING!: Over pressurization of bottles (or containers) can occur while using Chart’s
UltraDoser 2K potentially bursting the bottles (or containers). Proper calibration of the
UltraDoser 2K ensures optimum nitrogen doses to avoid over pressurization. Be sure to remove
any bottles (or containers) that receive more than its proper LN2doses before sealing.
WARNING!: If you are at all unsure of how to safely work on this system, STOP and contact
Chart immediately at +1 408.371.4932.
CAUTION: 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 maintenance, it should
be shutdown and allowed to warm up.
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 system and safe
operations are anticipated, it is essential that the user of the cryogenic system carefully read to fully
understand all WARNINGS and CAUTION notes listed in this safety summary and enumerated below.
Also read the information provided in the Safety Bulletin for Inert Gases following this Safety Summary.
Periodic review of the Safety Summary is recommended.
WARNING!: Nitrogen vapors in air may dilute the concentration of oxygen necessary to
support or sustain life.
Exposure to such an oxygen deficient atmosphere can lead to unconsciousness and serious injury,
including death.
CAUTION: Before removing parts or loosening fittings, empty the UltraDoser FS150 of liquid and
release any vapor pressure in a safe manner.
External valves and fittings can become extremely cold and may cause painful burns to personnel unless
properly protected. Personnel must wear protective gloves and eye protection whenever removing parts or
loosening fittings. Failure to do so may result in personal injury due to the extreme cold and pressure in
the system.

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 exit forcefully from equipment. Clean,
insulated gloves that can be easily removed and long sleeves are recommended for arm and hand
protection. Cuff less trousers should be worn over the shoes to shed spilled liquid.
Safety Bulletin
Portions of the following information are extracted from Safety Bulletin SB-2 from the Compressed Gas
Association, Inc. (CGA). For the full text of Safety Bulletin SB-2 and for more information about oxygen
atmospheres, refer to Safety Bulletin SB-2 from the Compressed Gas Association, Inc. (CGA) at
http://www.cganet.com. Additional information on nitrogen and liquid cylinders is available in CGA
Pamphlet P-9. Write to the Compressed Gas Association, Inc., 1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington,

Oxygen Deficient Atmospheres
The normal oxygen content of air is approximately 21%. Depletion of oxygen content in air, either by
combustion or by displacement with inert gas, is a potential hazard. 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 immediate with virtually no warning.
When the oxygen content of air is reduced to approximately 15 or 16%, the flame of ordinary combustible
materials, including those commonly used as fuel for heat or light, may be extinguished. Somewhat below
this concentration, an individual breathing the air is mentally incapable of diagnosing the situation. 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.
Human exposure to atmosphere containing 12% or less oxygen leads to rapid unconsciousness.
Unconsciousness can occur so rapidly that the user is rendered helpless. This can occur if the condition is
reached by immediate change of environment, or through the gradual depletion of oxygen.
Most individuals working in or around oxygen deficient 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 an unconscious partner unless equipped with a portable air supply. Best protection is obtainable by
equipping all individuals with a portable supply of respiratory air. Lifelines are acceptable only if the area
is essentially free of obstructions and individuals can assist one another without constraint.
If oxygen deficient 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.

Nitrogen
Nitrogen (an inert gas) is a simple asphyxiant. It will not support or sustain life and can produce
immediate hazardous conditions through the displacement of oxygen. Under high pressure these gases
may produce unconsciousness even though an adequate oxygen supply, sufficient for life, is detect.
Nitrogen vapors in air dilute the concentration of oxygen necessary to support or sustain life. Inhalation of
high concentrations of this gas 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 gas or liquid can cause cryogenic (extreme low
temperature) burns and freeze body tissue.
Persons suffering from lack of oxygen should be immediately moved to areas with normal atmospheres.
SELF CONTAINED 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-off gas contacts a worker's skin or
eyes, the affected tissues should be promptly flooded or soaked with tepid water (105-115oF; 41-46oC).
DO NOT USE HOT WATER. Cryogenic burns, which result in blistering or deeper tissue freezing,
should be examined promptly by a physician.

Receiving Your UltraDoser 2K
The UltraDoser 2K is designed for variable speed filling lines up to 2000 bottles (or containers) per
minute (under specific conditions). It will compensate for changes in line speed, ramp up, and ramp down
conditions.
Unpacking the UltraDoser 2K
The UltraDoser 2K will arrive in a specially designed shipping crate. If the system is intended to be
moved from one location to another, storing the crate for future use is ideal.
Upon arrival of the UltraDoser 2K, it is advised to immediately inspect for any signs of damage. If any
damage occurred in shipping, claims must be filed with the shipping carrier immediately prior to
unpacking the UltraDoser 2K.
While unpacking the crate, all contents should be carefully inspected. Things to check for upon arrival
include:
Dents in the UltraDoser unit
Male and female bayonets should be protected
Proper number of bayonet clamps/flanges and o-rings (one set for every female bayonet)
Any other components that were defined to ship loose
If there are any pieces listed on the Pack Slip and/or Materials List not in the shipping crate please contact
Chart immediately at +1 800.371.3303.
CAUTION: When removing the UltraDoser unit from the crate, gently set it on the ground. Do not drop
the UltraDoser unit! When transporting the UltraDoser unit through the facility, be sure to carry with
care. Take care not to run into walls or drag the UltraDoser unit on the ground.
Prior to installation, the UltraDoser 2K should be stored in a location that will prevent dirt, water or other
debris from getting inside the system. Similarly, it should be stored in a place that is generally out of the
way of frequent traffic to reduce the risk of damage. Chart recommends storing the system in the crate
when not in service.
