Abstract

The vaporizer is connected to a liquid out let of the propane supply tank. The liquid propane flows to High pressure regulator which reduces the pressure to 50 psig. By reducing the pressure of the liquid.
the enthalpy of the liquid vaporizes about 12% of the propane and the temperature of the liquid propane is reduced to 20 degrees F. The propane then flows through a helical coil which is immersed in water with antifreeze which is heated by propane vapor burner. The bath transfers heat to helical coil which vaporizes the balance of liquid propane. The vapor outlet is then reduced with a regulator The the vaporizer is equipped with pressure switch control the pressure and would shut off the Bruner if the pressure went to high. This could happen if the vapor demand exceeded the capacity Of the vaporizer.

Description

_ Background of the Invention 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a vaporizer that supplies heat to liquid L.P. gas.
(T o turn one imperial gal. of propane to vapor takes approx.. 1,000 B.T.U.$) to supply vapour propane for devise that Utilize vapor propane and other LP gases.
2.
Description of prior Art.
Vaporizers for liquid propane and other L.P. gases exsist. Most vaporizers use a boiler heated with direct flame on the boiler. The commercial propane contain a small amount Of butane and other heavier hydro carbons. The lighter propane boils off leaving the heavier Hydro-carbons to accumulate until the vaporizer fails.

Description of the Invention Figure 1 is a schematic side view of the vaporizer Figure 2 is the electrical circuit of the vaporizer The liquid petroleum gas flows from the fuel tank 1 through a supply line with manual shut-off valve .downstream from the from the shut-off in the supply line 3 is a hydrostatic relief valve 4 a return flow By-pass line 6 Is connected to the supply line 3 before the solenoid valve 8 and the high pressure Regulator 9 a pressure gauge 10 after the regulator 9 . the inlet of the by-pass line 6 is connected to the supply line 3 at this point. The by-pass line has check valve 7 that prevents the liquid petroleum from by passing the solenoid valve 8 and the high pressure regulator 9 the supply line then enters the water-bath 12 and into a helical coil 15 . The hot water vaporizes the liquid petroleum.
A pressure switch 16 controls the solenoid valves.
The vapor petroleum then flows through a second stage regulator 17 and into an oil trap 19 with a drain 18 . a supply line from the main supply line with low pressure regulator 21 supplies Gas to the water heater control 23 and the main burner 24 which heats the water bath 12 Control 23 is complete with temperature control, and a gas line for the main burner 24 . The water-bath Flue and a vent cap 13 and filler outlet with a cap 14 . The water-bath has temperature switch 11 Which controls solenoid 20 and prevents starting the gas burning equipment 22 until the water bath has reached operating temperature .' The electrical circuit has momentary switch fig 2 -1 to start the vaporizer and is a manual reset if there is an unscheduled shut-down. Solenoid valve fig.2 ยจ2 opens to start the vaporizer and solenoid valve fig.2-4 opens when all the requirements are met. The temperature switch fig.2-
3 closes the water bath temperature reaches operating temperature.

Claims (10)

I claim:
1. A vaporizer that vaporizes liquid petroleum gases into vapor . The liquid L.P. gases flows into Helical coil which is immersed in heated water(with antifreeze) bath which supplies the heat for the latent heat to vaporize L.P. gases
2. A vaporizer which uses pressure regulator and uses the enthalpy of the L.P. gases , residual heat of-the helical coil and the water to supply to start the main burner.
3. A vaporizer that has a system that allows the liquid L.P. gases to flow back to the supply tank this prevents a pressure build up in case of an unscheduled shut down.
4. A vaporizer as claim 3 has a check valve which prevents the L.P. gases from by-passing the solenoid valve and the high pressure regulator.
5. A vaporizer that has filter and an ,oil trap with a drain to eliminate compressor and pipe line rouge.
6. The filter contain molecular sieve and a screen.
7. The vaporizer is equipped with a presser switch that controls the solenoid valves if the pressure goes above the operating pressure.
8. The water bath has temperature switch prevents the operating the gas using devices until the water bath is up to operating temperature.
9. A vaporizer that supplies L.P. gas at constant temperature and presser facilitating the right air/gas ratio for complete combustion and B.T.U. input.
10. The vaporizer is designed to operate with a wide range of L.P. gases .
