A LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) vaporizer is a device used to convert liquefied propane or butane into a gaseous state. This process is essential for applications where LPG is stored as a liquid under pressure but needs to be used as a vapor for combustion in appliances, engines, or heating system
Heat Exchange: The vaporizer typically utilizes heat transfer to facilitate the phase change from liquid to gas. This can be achieved using:
Electric heaters: These can directly heat the LPG.
Water-bath vaporizers: In these systems, the LPG is heated by circulating hot water.
Ambient air vaporizers: These rely on ambient air for heat.
Pressure Regulation: Many vaporizers also include pressure regulation features to ensure that the gas is delivered at the correct pressure for downstream appliances.
Safety Features: Vaporizers often come equipped with safety mechanisms such as pressure relief valves, temperature controls, and alarms to prevent overpressure and ensure safe operation.
