GENERAL
TORREXX Electric Vaporizer utilizes a finned cast aluminum heater core. The
heater core contains multiple cast-in resistance heater elements. Multiple wiring
configurations allow a variety of AC input voltages to suit local power supply
requirements.
Liquid LPG enters the vaporizer through the Liquid Inlet Solenoid Valve at the
base of the pressure vessel.
During operation, a K-type thermocouple temperature sensor and solid state
control system maintain the core temperature at 165°F (74°C). As the
temperature increases on start, the Liquid Inlet Solenoid Valve opens at 131°F
(55°C), liquid enters the vaporizer and comes in contact with the heater core.
Vaporization results as the liquid extracts energy (heat) from the heater core. As
the heater core cools, the Temperature Sensor provides a signal to the control
system to energize the heater power contactor, applying power to the heater
elements.
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Complete the installation and leak test.
2) Check current and voltage to verify proper operation of the vaporizer.
3) This unit will not be damaged by operating the unit in a “dry” condition. It is
not necessary to have liquid in the unit for testing or evaluation.
4) Normal operating temperature is 165°F (74°C). Use caution when working
around vaporizer.
