Liquid gas vaporization and measurement system and method

A system for vaporizing and measuring liquid gas, comprising:

• a transmission device to transmit liquid gas;
• a vaporizer to receive a first amount of liquid gas and convert the first amount of liquid gas into vapor gas;
• an accumulator connected to said vaporizer to receive the vapor gas;
• a heated regulator to receive the vapor gas and control and control the pressure of the vapor gas;
• a vapor bypass control loop downstream from the accumulator and prior to the heated regulator;
• one or more test containers to store selectively receive and store respective samples of heated vapor gas output from the vaporizer;
• and
• an analysis device operable to receive vapor gas from said heated regulator and determine the constituent components of the vapor gas.

• an accumulator connected to said vaporizer to receive the vapor gas;
• a heated regulator to receive the vapor gas and control and control the pressure of the vapor gas;
• a vapor bypass control loop downstream from the accumulator and prior to the heated regulator;
• wherein the accumulator comprises:
• an impingement tube having a series of holes spaced at predetermined intervals to provide an increased stable vapor sample by promoting admixing within the accumulator tank;
• and
• an extraction tube which protrudes into the accumulator tank to ensure heavy components which may partition to the inner wall of the accumulator are not being removed.

A method of measuring the constituent components of liquid gas, comprising:

• receiving the liquid gas into a vaporizing device;
• selectively directing the received liquid gas into a vaporizer within the vaporizing device, wherein said vaporizer comprises a singe path vaporizer;
• converting the liquid gas directed to the vaporizer into vapor gas;
• accumulating the vapor gas in a storage device;
• outputting the vapor gas accumulated in the storage device;
• directing a portion of outputted vapor gas from the storage device to a measuring device operable to determine the constituent components of the vapor gas;
• and directing a portion of outputted vapor gas from the storage device to a vapor return, wherein the singe path vaporizer comprises an inner heated cartridge, a first metal layer surrounding the inner heater cartridge to promote uniform heating and eliminate hot spots, a second non-reactive metal layer surrounding the inner heater cartridge, and a mesh layer.
