Description

Modular vaporizer for liquefied gases from Petroleum.

Object of the invention

The present invention aims at a modular vaporizer for liquefied petroleum gases, that is to say  reference a team whose mission is to proceed with the vaporization of liquefied gas, since the normal use of gas is in state gaseous.

A vaporizer usually consists of a team within which a series of coils is arranged through which hot water is passed in order to provide heat to liquefied gas, which is boiled and passed to state gaseous. The set of tubular coils are inside of a closed cylindrical container. Together with said team regulation equipment is normally available for the purpose of prevent the liquid from entering the supply network. Completing the set is a decanter that collects the drops not vaporized

Characterizes the present invention the fact separate the vaporizer from the regulator, integrating the decanter in the regulator body thus achieving a modular vaporizer, easily interchangeable, easy to repair and maintenance, less space and height, easier to build, more manageable and smaller than current models.

Therefore the present invention is circumscribes within the scope of gas vaporizers liquefied petroleum, in order to pass it to gas, which is the normal way of use.

Background of the invention

So far the existing vaporizers in the market consists, as previously stated, in a closed cylindrical assembly inside which there is a series of tubular coils through which hot water is passed, proceeding to heat the liquefied gas until it boils and therefore vaporize the liquefied gas, this exchanger is associated with a regulation system that prevents the liquid from entering the supply network. Associated with the exchanger is a decanter, responsible for collecting non-vaporized drops.

Normally these vaporizers have a series of inconveniences at the time of its replacement as well as of maintenance and repair.

The exchangers currently used to be associated with the regulation equipment do not allow the use of simpler exchange equipment than those existing in the market, the exchangers must be manufactured more specific according to the size and shape of the container where vaporize, making them much more expensive.

In the repair tasks, the exchangers of coil in some models are not removable, so it is it is necessary to disassemble and replace the entire vaporizer with another, not the previous one being usable, while in the models It is necessary to use lifting means such as cranes, so repair times are high as well as The consequences of lost profits.

Therefore the objective of the present invention is the development of a new vaporizer for liquefied gases from oil that overcomes the previous drawbacks, both of repair and maintenance, the use being possible standard exchangers, of those existing in the market for other applications, the manufacture of specific exchangers for the shape and size of the container where it is manufactured.

Description of the invention

The proposed invention of modular vaporizer for liquefied petroleum gases it consists of a vaporizer that it includes a standard exchanger among those existing in the market for other applications, with the particularity that the regulation equipment that is normally integrated together with the exchanger, has been separated from the exchange area integrating the decanter in the body of regulation.

The exchanger is a standard exchanger, being able to be of plates or any other type, which does that when not arrange the vaporizer inside be more compact, lightweight and modular and with a capacity to more flexible vaporization.

On the other hand with the exchanger used the replacement and maintenance tasks are much faster so which involves the reduction of costs of realization as profit lost The set occupies less space and height in the booths

The regulator is placed next to the vaporizer which integrates the decanter, to the regulator assembly and Decanter we will call separator. The exchange body and The separator are connected by a connecting pipe. The functions performed by the separator are:

-

Separate the drops the droplets of liquid dragged.

-

The regulator is responsible for preventing the passage of liquid to the pipes of distribution.

-

He is in charge of collect the drops of liquid hardly vaporizable.

The separator has an outlet pipe for connection to the service network as well as an orifice of drainage for condensates of difficult vaporization. Inside of the separator there are some flow deflectors, which make drop separator

Description of the drawings

To complement the description below is going to be done and in order to help a better understanding of its characteristics, is accompanied by the present specification, of a set of planes in whose figures, illustratively and not limiting, the most significant details of the invention.

Figure 1. Shows a representation of the elevation and Modular vaporizer side view.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the aforementioned figures described then a preferred embodiment of the invention as well as the explanation of the drawings.

In figure 1 we can see how the Modular vaporizer object of the invention is formed by a exchange body (1) which is formed by an exchanger standard among those existing in the market for others applications, being able to be of plates or of another type, which does not It has an associated body of regulation, so it can be Easily replaced and repaired. Because of its reduced dimensions and weight maintenance work are many more fast not being necessary to use cranes.

Next to the exchange body (1) there is a separator (2) which consists of the regulating body as well as the decanter, the exchange body (1) being connected with the separator (2) by means of a pipe (3).

The functions performed by the separator are:

-

Separate the drops of the liquid dragged.

-

Prevent the passage of liquid to the gas pipes for consumption.

-

Is the element Receiver of hardly vaporizable elements.

Inside the separator (2) have been arranged inner flow baffles (5) that act as a separator for drops. Likewise, the separator (2) consists of an output (4) for connection to the service network as well as a drain hole (6) for condensates of difficult vaporization.

It is not considered necessary to extend this description so that any subject matter expert understands the scope of the invention and the advantages thereof drift

The materials, shape, size and arrangement of the  elements will be subject to variation as long as no alter the essentiality of the invention.

The terms in which this report has been described they should always be taken in a broad and non-limiting sense.

Claims (1)

1. Modular vaporizer for liquefied petroleum gases characterized in that the exchange zone has been separated from the regulating elements, having an exchange element (1), which is one of the standards used in the market for other applications, together with a separator equipment (2) connected by means of a pipe (3), where the separator consists of the integration of the decanter in the regulating body, fulfilling the functions of: Separating the droplets of entrained liquid from the gas, preventing the passage of liquid into the consumption conduits, and is the receiver of the condensates difficult to vaporize, said separator (2) also has an outlet (4) towards the service network, a drain hole (6) for condensates of difficult vaporization, and a set of baffles (5) that serve as drop separators.
