The Torrexx Electric LPG Vaporizers provide an efficient, reliable vaporization solution in a compact, self-contained design. The units are Explosion Proof (Class1, GroupD, Division1), and are available in a wide variety of operating voltages for versatile installation options.
The Economizer valve mounts on the discharge of the vaporizer and remains closed until the tank pressure falls to 30 psig. This allows a supplemental bypass pipe to feed the load directly from the tank saving the energy of the vaporizer until required. 1” FNPT in and out.

Propane/Air Mixers
Typical Propane/Air Mixing Systems
Standby System Plant
LP-Gas Standby Systems
A typical arrangement for a propane/Air mixing assembly is depicted. The mixer is a typical venturi style with a mixed gasholding tank and requires a pressurizing pump to provide the elevated vapor pressure for gas/air mixing.
LP-Gas standby fuel installations provide reliable energy needs during natural gas curtailment. Natural gas supplies are often restricted especially in the winter months when demand on the natural gas mains is at its maximum. The natural gas utilities have a finite supply of pipeline capacity and experience shortages during peak demand days.
An LP-Gas standby system allows the end user to switch to a compatible propane/air mixture during natural gas curtailment. The connected plant can continue normal operations with an equivalent clean burning fuel. The plant manager can also gain signifi-cent savings in their year-long fuel costs by contracting with the utility for an interruptible natural gas rate.
All piping, valving and ancillary equipment must be selected and installed according to the provisions of NFPA 58.
The layout of a typical standby system plant is depicted showing the major components.
Details of the system valving, spac-ing and distances are intentionally not shown.

The Algas XPV Propane/Air Mixing Systems are complete natural gas replacement units for commercial and small industrial natural gas users. They are a combination of the Power XP Electric vaporizer and the Vaporaire Venturi Air/Gas mixer. The units come completely pre-packaged with vaporizer, venturi arrangement, surge tank and all controls for easy installation.
The smaller units utilize a single vaporizer/mixer combination. The larger units use multiple vaporizer/mixers factory connected in parallel to provide greater capacity. All units are Explosion Proof (Class1, GroupD, Division1), and are available in a wide variety of operating voltages for versatile installation options.
A check valve is required on both the natural gas and mixed gas lines upstream of the tie-in point. This prevents the natural gas from entering the mixed gas lines and the mixed gas from entering the natural gas lines. The respective gas regulators aid in preventing back flow but should not be depended on as the sole devices left to provide this function.
The 510T is a bronze body horizontal swing check with a 300 lb. W.O.G. rating and features a soft seat for tight closure on back seating.
