Abstract:
A vaporizer for heating entering liquids to transform said liquids into a vapor, said vaporizer comprising:an elongated body housing an internal tubing unit, said body having at least three ports defined adjacent one of said ends;an interior heat dispensing pipe associated with one of said ports;an inlet pipe associated with another of said ports, said inlet pipe traversing the body of said vaporizer and fluid flow communication with a distribution pipe parallel to the longitudinal axis of said body;an outlet pipe associated with the last of said ports, said outlet pipe parallel to and spaced apart from said distribution pipe; and,a plurality of regularly spaced apart vaporization tubes extending between said inlet section and said outlet section, each of said vaporization tubes comprising a pipe wound to radially diverge from said inlet to said outlet section so that entering liquids are vaporized prior to reaching said outlet section; and,means for heating said vaporization section to completely vaporize said entering fluids to produce said exiting vapor, said means comprising an outlet and wherein said inlet pipe is proximate said outlet and wherein each of said vaporization tubes further comprises a mid-point and each of said mid-points are parallel to the longitudinal axis of said body and wherein said heat dispensing pipe outlet is coplanar to said mid-points.
