VAPORIZORS
148 VAPORIZORS Direct Fired LPG Vaporizers A propane vaporizer is actually a boiler. Instead of boiling water, it boils propane. It may sound strange that heat is required to vaporize propane when propane will boil at -44 F, but, when propane vaporizes by expansion alone, it causes a refrigeration action. In applications with high propane demand, the uncontrolled vaporization would freeze valves and burner nozzles. Therefore, heat is required to offset the refrigeration action. Direct fired vaporizers use a portion of the propane they vaporize to supply the heat for the vaporization process. AES direct fired vaporizers can be used to vaporize all forms of LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), including Propane, Butane, Propylene, etc. • For Propane, Butane, & other LPG • Two-Stage Burner • Dual Liquid Level Control • Piezo Ignitor MFR#
