Abstract

Liquefied gas vaporizer means machine to vaporize the liquefied gas as liquid nitrogen($LN_2$), liquefied natural gas(LNG), liquid oxygen($LO_2$) etc. In the air type vaporizer, the frozen dew is also created by temperature drop (below 273 K) on vaporizer surface. This problem increases as the time progresses and humidity increases. In addition, the frozen dew gradually becomes frost deposit consequently, heat transfer through vaporizer decreases because frost deposit form adiabatic sheet. Because of this reason, recent vaporizer system is installed as parallel type, this vaporizer system needs more expensive installation costs and more space. This paper was investigated on the heat transfer characteristics of liquefied gas vaporizer with super low temperature and this paper was carried out the numerical about air heating vaporizer with super low temperature. The numerical analysis on the heat transfer was studied on the effect of geometric parameters of the vaporizer, which are length 1000 mm of 4fin75le type vaporizer. 4fin75le means number of fin is 4 and height of fin is 75 mm.
