AMBIENT AIR VAPORIZER


Oxyplants India Pvt. Ltd. supplies Atmospheric vaporizers for Liquid Nitrogen, Liquid Oxygen, and Liquid Argon and of various capacities ranging from 20 to 1000 NM3/ Hr. Ambient Air Vaporizer utilize convection as the heat transfer mechanism. Ambient air vaporizers use the relative "heat" of the atmosphere to derive the energy necessary for the vaporization of the liquid cryogen. Ambient vaporizers represent the most cost effective equipment to vaporize or re-gasify liquid cryogens. The vaporizers comprise a number of individual multi-finned aluminum heat transfer extruded elements lined with a high pressure retaining stainless steel tube. Extrusions are connected in series. Liners are hydrostatically expanded (tension bonded) into the extrusion element to ensure 100% contact and efficient heat transfer.

Vaporizers are designed and manufactured in accordance with the ASME Section VIII Div 1 latest edition pressure vessel code and the UBC and applicable sections of ANSI A 58.1. Vaporizers may be manufactured in compliance with any global pressure specification, such as ASME; TüV; PED; and other international codes.

The performance of ambient air vaporizers is subject to many factors. These include flow rate, duty cycle, ambient temperature, relative humidity, freeze period, altitude, wind, solar radiation, operating pressure and proximity to adjacent structures. The effects of average solar and wind conditions are not included in quoted ratings. Performance is based on mean ambient conditions of 70°F (21°C) and 70% relative humidity. Special conditions may vary considerably for a particular application, thereby affecting performance.
