Application
Steam heated vaporizers are used in petrochemical and cryogenic plants to vaporize liquefied gases such as Oxygen, Nitrogen, Argon, Ethylene, Propylene, Natural Gas in a load range from approx. 500 Nm³/h up to 195 000 Nm³/h.
Characteristics
The characteristics of Linde steam heated water bath vaporizers are:
The water is heated up by direct steam injection
through one or more steam lances, in such a way that
steam hammering is avoided
The steam flow is controlled by water temperature controllers
During stand-by conditions, the water temperature is kept through a small steam lance at 60 °C
The water circulation is achieved by means of
buoyancy and gravitiy, so that availability from 0 to
full capacity can be reached within two minutes
In case an immediate availability within 10 seconds is required, additional water circulating pumps can be installed.
