Advantages of Electric Water Bath type LPG vaporizer
Advantages of Electric Water Bath type vaporizer would be its controllability, vaporization stability and safety. Electric heater warms the water in the bath. And this hot water indirectly heats the liquid LPG running through the heat exchanger tube.
As the heat source is hot water with a gradual temperature change, the vaporization ability is stable and controllable. And even if there is a problem with the heat source, the vaporization ability can be exerted while the water is warm.
- Water temperature controlled between 75-85℃
- Spiral shape heat exchanger tube for smooth and stable vaporization
- Patented technology of Float Valve + Magnet system to prevent liquid carry over
As the Liquid LPG (Propane) is heated indirectly by the hot water, it is safer than Direct Fire type vaporizers.
In some countries with specific gas laws, Electric Water Bath type can be installed much closer to the tank / cylinders.
And its operation is noiseless.
Suitable applications : All Industrial and Commercial applications
- Shopping malls, Restaurants, hotels, applications in the residential areas…
- Factory holding combustibles and explosives (e.g. Paper factories, Gun powder factories…)
- Agribusiness operations (Grain dryer, Poultry farm heating and more)
- Residential / office heating (boilers and etc)
- Metallurgy purpose (e.g. Oxygen removal during copper smelting)

Vaporization mechanism of KAGLA Electric Water Bath type vaporizers
Electric Water Bath type vaporizer CX has Water Bath with Electric heater and the heat exchanger submurged in the water bath. The water temperature is controlled between 75-85℃ for stable vaporization.
Liquid LPG (propane) goes into the heat exchanger tube in spiral shape.
While the liquid goes through this tube heated in the hot water, it is vaporized and comes into the gas chamber.
And then it flows to the outlet for gas consumption.
Function of Float Valve system (**1) – KAGLA patented technology
FLOAT VALVE is a safety function to prevent LPG liquid carryover to the consumption side.
1) Float Valve shut off mechanism
Float Valve is a safety mechanism to prevent Liquid Carryover to the consumption side.
When the gas consumption exceeds the vaporization capacity of the vaporizer, Vaporization may not catch up with gas consumption by the combustion equipment.
In this case, the non-vaporized liquid LPG will come into the gas chamber.
Then KAGLA Float Valve inside the gas chamber will be lifted upwards by the liquid and shut off the valve tightly with magnet connection.
This is a safety device that works reliably without using electricity or pilot air.
It also works in cases such as electric blackout, heater disconnection and others.
Due to the phenomenon that the liquid pushes up the float, the gas chamber outlet is closed by the valve at the top of the float and prevent the LPG liquid from flowing to the consumption side. Since it does not require external sources such as electricity or pilot air, it is a system that operates reliably under all circumstances.
- It is a normal operation state where the hot water temperature is appropriate and heat exchange with the LPG liquid is normally performed. Since there is only LPG vapor in the gas chamber, the float is seated at the bottom position and thus the float valve is open.
- When the temperature of hot water drops and heat exchange does not occur properly, unvaporized LPG liquid flows into the chamber. Then the liquid collected in the chamber pushes up the float valve.
- If gas consumption continues in this state, the float valve will be forcibly closed by the powerful magnet placed on the top of the float valve.
2) Procedure to reset the float valve shutoff
- Identify the cause of the float valve closure and eliminate the problem.
- Turn on the vaporizer and heat the water in the hot water tank with the electric heater.
- Close the liquid inlet and gas outlet valves.
- To reduce the internal pressure, open the drain valve slowly to release the LPG in the chamber and heat exchanger.
- When the water temperature reaches 75℃, open the valves in each part and push in the reset rod to open the float valve.
Since a strong magnet holds the valve, some force is required to push the rod down.
If the reset rod cannot be pushed in at all, there may be liquid remaining in the chamber.
Open the drain valve to check and release it if necessary.
