What is a liquefied gas cylinder pressurizer?
Thread Content
When the pressure in the liquefied gas tank is low, it is difficult to load the gas using a centrifugal pump; in such cases, a booster pump needs to be activated. So what is this booster pump? Reboiler? Or something else? Question! !
A small compressor is used to inject non-condensable gas at the top of the tank, thereby increasing the pressure inside the spherical tank.
Reply to 2# jm1970: So this is what’s called a pressure booster for spherical tanks. Thank you!
This booster refers to a heat exchanger; the liquid phase inside the tank enters the booster where it exchanges heat with steam, and the resulting gaseous phase goes into the storage tank, thereby increasing the pressure in that tank
