What
is a Vaporizer?
A vaporizer is a
device that transforms liquid phase LPG to vapour phase LPG.

How
does a vaporizer work?
-
A vaporizer
can be heated electrically via the heating elements in the vaporizer
water chamber. The heated water in the water chamber in turn provides
the heat to the LPG liquid.
-
The heating is
controlled within a temperature range.
-
The controlled
temperature range of 50°C to 70°C provides optimal vaporization
of liquid LPG without the breakdown of heavy ends.
-
Some vaporizers
can be heated up via a regulated flow of hot water which is fed through
the vaporizer to provide the heat needed.

Advantages
of using vaporizers
-
Maximise the
usage of liquid LPG in the storage tank.
-
Higher flexibility
and fewer refills.
-
Achieve efficient
and constant vaporization rate regardless of the liquid LPG level
and temperature in the tank.
-
Constant mix
of propane and butane.

Where
is the vaporizer installed?

How
is the vaporizer installed?
The vaporizer is
connected at the outlet of the liquid LPG line of the tank. The vapour
outlet of the vaporizer is piped to a set of regulators to further reduce
the pressure of the vapour phase LPG to suit the working pressure of
the burners.
-
Open-air
installations - advisable
to provide weather protection.
-
An inlet strainer
and an oil separator at the outlet are recommended.
-
Fresh water is
to be added fully into the vaporizer water chamber.
-
Place the vaporizer
on solid foundation such as a concrete slab.
-
Pipe connections
must be firmly supported on both sides of the vaporizer.
-
Electrical connections
must suit the category and specifications.
