Vertical Vaporizers

Armstrong/Chemtec vertical bayonet vaporizers are for use with materials


stored as liquids but used as vapors such as chlorine, ammonia, propane,
butane, sulfur dioxide, phosgene, and many other liquids. Freeze-up
protection is supplied by a unique design which has been proven in thousands
of installations world-wide. Sizes range from 50,000 to 15,000,000 Btu/hr.
Many different heating media can be used including steam, hot water, and
heat transfer fluids. Electrically heated vaporizers are also
available. Armstrong/Chemtec also manufactures vertical regenerant
vaporizers for widely licensed refinery processes. Armstrong/Chemtec is a
member of the (US) Chlorine Institute and Eurochlor and provides chlorine
vaporizers in accordance the Institute's recommendations.
The Armstrong vaporizer takes its feed from a storage tank or process plant
output. The boiling liquid rises in the shell until the vapor output required by
the load is matched by the heat input from the
submerged surface. When the load matches the
vaporizer capacity, the level stabilizes and
the liquid continues to boil at that level until the
load (usually feed rate) changes. If the load
increases, the fluid level rises to give the added output required. If
the load drops, the fluid level decreases until the output matches
the demand.
Armstrong has been involved in the field of vaporization since our
inception. We have significant field experience with all kinds of
services which is supplemented by our own in-house research into
vaporization and our membership in HTRI, HTFS, the Chlorine
Institute, and Eurochlor. No one in the heat transfer industry has
as much experience with vaporization duties as
Armstrong/Chemtec.
Advantages of Armstrong vaporizers include: compact design,
high performance, 100% vaporization with minimal stability
problems, ability to superheat and vaporizer IN A SINGLE SHELL,
minimal retention of hazardous liquids, and unlimited turndown.
Design Features of Armstrong Vertical Bayonet
Vaporizers
 The tubes are free to expand or contract. Since the tubes are only secured at the
bottom end, there is no tendency for the tubes to flex or twist due to thermal stresses.
This is a marked advantage over units with tubesheets at both ends, where cyclic
thermal stresses may cause failure at the tube end.
 Bottom steam feed protects against freezeup. The condensate is constantly
warmed by the incoming heating medium. Even though the vaporizing temperature in
the shell may fall below the freezing temperature, the condensate does not run the risk
of freezing with consequent bursting of a tube.
 The tube bundle is removable and can be replaced in the field. It is no longer
necessary to remove the whole unit in the event that the tubes begin to corrode out. A
replacement bundle can be bought and installed in the field with a minimum amount of
down time.
 Small foot print. The site space requirements for an Armstrong/Chemtec vertical
vaporizer are much less than any horizontal unit. It is also normally lower than any
other type of vertical in-tube or jacketed vaporizer because of the greater output of
the Armstrong vaporizer.
 Easily added superheat section. Simply by adding height to the bundle (added heat
transfer surface), your desired superheat temperature can be attained.
