LPG Transfer Pumps, as the name implies, are used to transfer LPG from the storage tanks to the vaporizer. In systems with Venturi LPG/air mixing systems, they are also responsible for maintaining the pressure needed for optimum and efficient function of the Venturi tubes.
All AES pump packages are mounted on steel skids, and are primed and painted. They are equipped with differential pressure regulator, constant pressure regulator, strainer, isolation valves, by-pass loops ("Summer-Bypass"), liquid filled pressure gauges, and all other components required for safe operation.
Smaller pumps up to 12 GPM are single phase AC 115/230V 50/60Hz service. Larger pumps are 3-phase AC 460V 60Hz or 400/415V 50Hz and require magnetic motor starters with overload protection. Pumps up to 18 GPM are direct-drive turbine type (electric motor directly coupled to pump). Larger pumps are belt driven, sliding-vane type.
A back pressure regulator provides stable delivery pressure by returning excess pump capacity to the storage tank.
All systems are supplied with an explosion proof motor to meet Class I, Div. 1, Group D (Flame-Proof) requirements.
Magnetic motor starters can be supplied either as a separate component, installed on the pump skid, or integrated with the system controls. If integrated with the system controls, a Start/Stop station at the pump skid is provided for local pump control.
All AES pump systems are available with either Corken or Blackmer pumps, and can be configured for various voltages and for 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
The purpose of Duplex Pump Systems is to provide maximum redundancy. They are therefore manufactured as individual pumps that only share a common skid. All bypass and isolation valves exist in duplicate. Each pump can be completely isolated so that maintenance and repair work on this pump does not affect the other pump, or the system availability.
Integrated pumps can also be equipped with an automatic start/stop function in response to the pressure in the storage tank(s). The price adder for these options is shown below (in section "Motor Starters and other Options").

Motor Starters and Other Options for Single-Phase Pumps (fits both Blackmer and Corken Pumps) |
||
|
Liquid Transfer Pumps with single-phase motors can be supplied with a simple, explosion-proof ON/OFF switch that is integrated into the junction box directly at the pump motor. If the pump control is desired to be integrated with the vaporizer- or vaporizer/blender control system (for example to facilitate remote monitoring and control), pumps with single-phase motors can also be equipped with contactors. |

Motor Starters and Other Options for Three-Phase Pumps (fits both Blackmer and Corken Pumps) |
|
Liquid Transfer Pumps with 3-phase motors always require magnetic motor starters. All AES magnetic motor starters are configured with contactor, solid state motor overload protection, service-disconnect function, and manual reset. AES Starter Packages will be configured to match the selected pump size and motor, and are available for indoor installation, outdoor installation, and explosion-proof Class I, Div 1, Group D [Flame-Proof] installations. It is recommended that all pumps are also equipped with a local Start/Stop station that allows pump control from the pump location. AES Start/Stop stations are configured with an explosion-proof enclosure (Class I, Div 1, Group D [Flame-Proof]), green START button, red STOP button, and amber pilot light (pump ready to be started). All types can also be integrated into the vaporizer or vaporizer/blender control system for remote monitoring and control of the pump operation. The pump operation can also be automated in response to the pressure in the storage tanks (pump will start automatically if tank pressure falls below an adjustable setpoint, and stays on until the tank pressure has recovered above a second adjustable setpoint). |
