One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a mechanical assembly comprising a connecting rod with a first end and a second end, a crankshaft journal, a wrist pin, and at least one guide spacer. The crankshaft journal may be coupled to the first end of the connecting rod, allowing for the transmission of rotational forces. The wrist pin may be configured to attach to the second end of the connecting rod, facilitating the transfer of mechanical motion. At least one guide spacer may be positioned on the wrist pin, located on either side of the connecting rod at the second end, to provide alignment and reduce wear. The crankshaft journal and the wrist pin may be arranged in parallel, enabling the connecting rod to perform both rotational and reciprocating motions.

A liquefied gas unloading and deep evacuation system may more quickly, more efficiently and more completely unload liquefied gases from transport tanks, such as rail cars, into stationary storage tanks or into truck tanks. The system may utilize a two stage compressor, an electric motor, a variable frequency drive, a four way valve, a three way valve, a two way valve, a programmable logic controller based control system and pressure and temperature transmitters. The valving enables deep evacuation of the transport or supply tank to more completely empty the transport tank. The programmable logic controller and variable speed drive may be used to variably control the speed of the two stage compressor so that the system may be running as fast as possible during changes in ambient temperature and/or different stages of offloading the liquefied gases without exceeding the compressor's horsepower limit.
