Quick-Select Chart for
AES Vaporizers / AES Pumps

Pump Selection Charts:

LPG Transfer Pumps, as the name implies, are used to transfer liquid 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 mixers.

AES uses pumps from the two leading manufacturers, Blackmer and Corken. All pumps are of "positive displacement" design and use rotary vane pumps with a built-in over-pressure relief valve, designed for continuous use with high reliability.

All pumps are mounted on steel skids, and are primed and painted. They are equipped with constant pressure regulator, strainer, isolation valves, summer bypass loops, liquid filled pressure gauges, and other components that are required for safe operation.

All systems are supplied with an explosion proof motor to meet Class I, Div. 1, Group D [Flame-Proof] requirements, and are available for 60Hz service or for 50Hz service and for various voltages. Smaller pumps are for single phase service. Larger pumps are for 3-phase service and require magnetic motor starters.

When sizing a pump system, the nominal pump capacity should be approximately twice the nominal capacity of the LP or LP/Air system. Nominal pump capacities may vary with type of LPG, ambient conditions, available electric service, required discharge pressure, and other factors.

Blackmer pumps up to model AEP-12B, and Corken pumps up to model AEP-18C, are direct-drive pumps (electric motor directly coupled to pump). Larger pumps are belt-driven.

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 and allow using the pumps in any combination: Pump 1, Pump 2, or Pump 1 and Pump 2 together. 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.

Magnetic motor starters can be supplied either as separate components, installed on the pump skid, or integrated with the system controls. If pump systems are integrated with the vaporizer or vaporizer/blender controls, a start/stop station in an ex-proof enclosure is installed directly at the pump skid and provides local pump control.

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 the “Motor Starters and other Options” section).

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.
 
It is recommended that contactor-equipped 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).
  
The operation of single-phase pumps with contactors 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).

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).
