TABLE 1-1. Vaporizer Capacity

* In order to attain the referenced capacities for Sulfur Dioxide, the following conditions must exist: 

 

 

  The Vaporizer must be clean and have an ambient temperature of 70°F. 

  Inlet pressure must be greater than 50 psi.  

 

  Piping between the pressure reducing and shut off valve, and the Vaporizer should be short and fully  insulated.  

   

  Controlled continuous, minimum make-up water must be provided.

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1   General Description

CAPITAL CONTROLS® Series 71V3B Electrically Heated Vaporizers are used to convert liquid Chlorine, Sulfur Dioxide 

or Ammonia, as specified at time of purchase, into a superheated gaseous state. The Vaporizer consist of a vaporizing 

chamber housed within a self-standing vented water chamber heated by an integrally mounted electric immersion 

heater. The Vaporizers are equipped with controls and gauges to provide safe operation under normal conditions and 

close supervision.

Functionally, liquid chemical from the supply system is directed into the bottom of the vaporizing chamber, absorbs 

heat from the hot wall of the chamber, is converted from liquid into gas, and is discharged through the gas outlet 

opening at the top of the chamber to the gas handling components of the system requiring the gas.

The maximum capacity of these Vaporizers, all similar in design and construction, is related to the liquid chemical  

being handled and the rating of the electric immersion heater. These capacities are listed in Table 1-1.

WARNING: All components of the Vaporizer System are constructed of materials capable of with standing the  

corrosive action of the particular gas for which the system has been specified.  Never use any component for  

handling a gas different from which it has been purchased.
