Cryogenic vaporizers

Cryogenic vaporizers

The Dewar vaporizer system, also known as a cryogenic vaporizer, is a device used to convert cryogenic liquids, such as liquid nitrogen (LN2) or liquid oxygen (LOX), into their gaseous form.
In situations where the required gas demand, or flow rate, exceeds the output capacity of a liquid cylinder, it results in a decrease in pressure and flow rate.
To address this issue, the addition of a vaporizer to the liquid cylinder becomes essential.
By incorporating a vaporizer, the flow rate of the liquid cylinder is augmented, while maintaining a consistent pressure level.

Dewar vaporizer system

The cryogenic vaporizers, or dewar vaporizer systems, operate based on the principle of heat exchange.
It utilizes the heat from the surrounding ambient air to vaporize the cryogenic liquid. The system consists of a Dewar flask or container that holds the liquid and a vaporizer unit connected to the flask.
DSW is a global supplier of cryogenic equipment, including cryogenic vaporizers. We offer both single vaporizers and filling skids, catering to the needs of various industries.

A cryogenic vaporizer has two configurations: a single vaporizer and a filling skid.
These configurations are essential components in cryogenic systems that convert liquefied gases into their gaseous form. The single vaporizer is an independent unit dedicated to the conversion process. On the other hand, the filling skid is a comprehensive system consisting of multiple components, including the vaporizer, pressure regulators, flow meters, safety devices, and control systems. Its purpose is to facilitate the safe and efficient filling and vaporization of cryogenic fluids from storage containers like cryogenic tanks or cylinders. These systems cater to the specific needs of various industries, such as gas distribution, healthcare, and research facilities.

Oxygen Vaporizer Systems for High-Volume Gaseous Oxygen

Liquid oxygen vaporizer systems, specifically heat exchangers, are essential for converting liquid oxygen from containers into high-volume gaseous oxygen. This process is crucial for meeting the flow requirements of burning bars and Oxy-Fuel Torches. DSW offers various vaporizer systems designed for this purpose.

Liquid Oxygen Dewar Output Limit:
Liquid oxygen Dewars have internal vaporizers with a limited capacity. Typically, they can produce approximately six cubic feet of gaseous oxygen per minute (SCFM). However, burning bars require a higher flow rate, ranging from 20 to 100 scfm. To enable the use of liquid oxygen with burning bars, an external vaporiser must be added. The vaporizer’s size depends on the burning bar’s size and the required flow rate. This also applies to Oxygen-Fuel Torch.
