Ransome Direct Fired VaporizersTheory of Operation

The RH Series vaporizer consists of a vertical ASME rated pressure vessel which is directly heated by a gas fired burner. The burner consumes a smallportion of vapor from the vessel to develop the heat required for vaporization.

As liquid enters the vessel, it begins to vaporize as heat is absorbed from the warm heat exchanger. This causes the vapor temperature to decrease.

The operating temperature switch monitors vapor temperature and signals the gas control valve to fire the burner when vapor temperature drops below set point (120 degrees F / 48.9 degrees C).

Ransome Modesl RH50 thru RH120 use a mechanical liquid level control system that consists of a mechanical inlet valve, which is actuated by a stainless steel ball located inside the vessel. If the liquid level rises above the desired level, the float will lift off the inlet valve lever allowing it to close, preventinga liquid carryover. Once the level drops, the inlet valve will re-open.

Ransome models RH200 thru RH1000 (except RH240) use an electrically operated liquid level control system which consists of an external float switchand solenoid valve. If the liquid rises above the desired level, the float wil close the solenoid valve to prevent liquid carryover.

Standard Features Include:

• Heavy Duty Powder Coated Cabinet and Exhaust Shroud.

• Gas control valve is located inside protective cabinet.

• Precision Temperature Switch Factory-Set and Sealed.

• Double-Louvered Combustion Air Baffles insure operation in adverse weather conditions.

• Optional Electric Pilot Reignitors availble for Extreme Conditions.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

VHW Series Hot Water Vaporizers are designed and

engineered to provide an economical and dependable

source of LP-Gas vapor for a wide range of applications

from 280 GPH up to 5,900 GPH. Standard units are

completely self-contained requiring connection of LP-Gas

inlet and outlet, hot water inlet and water outlet. All are

factory tested on propane and ready for use.

HOW THEY WORK

The VHW Series Hot Water Vaporizer uses a thermally

actuated control system to regulate the flow of hot water

into a shell and tube heat exchanger. The thermal system

consists of a liquid filled diaphragm actuator connected by

means of a filled, semi-flexible capillary tube to a partially

filled sensing bulb inserted in the LP-Gas vapor stream. As

temperature at the sensing bulb increases (as would occur

during a low LP-Gas flow condition), the fluid in the bulb

partially vaporizes, applies pressure to the diaphragm and

closes the valve. As temperature at the sensing bulb

decreases (during a higher LP-Gas flow condition), the fluid

would recondense, reducing pressure on the diaphragm

and opening the valve. Depending on gas flow conditions,

the valve will throttle the flow of hot water to maintain the

desired temperature range.

LIMITS AND SAFETY FEATURES

ASME Code Heat exchange pressure vessels. The

shell is constructed of rugged carbon steel for high

strength and good heat exchange characteristics.

The removable, field replaceable tube bundle is con-

structed entitrely of stainless steel to ensure long life

and corrosion resistance.

Ransome’s unique liquid level switch configuration.

The high liquid level switch prevents liquid from enter-

ing the outlet.

Inlet solenoid valve with bypass back check valve. The

solenoid valve, in conjunction with the high liquid level

switch, closes the inlet preventing the liquid from

spilling over into the outlet.

Bottom hot water feed protects against freeze up. The

warm water is constantly warmed by incomming hot

water. Even if the vaporizing temperature in the shell

falls below freezing, there is no risk of the warm water

freezing with the resultant bursting of the tube.

ASME stamped safety relief valve. Each vaporizer unit

is adequately protected in accordance with NFPA 58

and California Title 8 codes.

All sizes are capable of infinite turndown and will

maintain a ready supply of vapor from zero load to full

capacity.

Standard electrical configuration Class I, Division I.

Vertical design provides maximum capacity in com-

pact, rectangular unit.
