Abstract
The present invention is a device that supplies the latent heat for vaporization of L.P. gases. The device for a supply of fuel vapor to a fuel powered device, comprising of a supply tank; a liquid bath having a temperature control system; a LPG flow line immersed inside the liquid bath; a heating system to heat the LPG; and a vaporizer control system comprising a temperature sensor to measure the temperature of the liquid bath, the temperature sensor is connected to a solenoid valve in the vapor supply line, and wherein said temperature sensor shutting off the solenoid valve when the bath temperature drops below a predetermined temperature.

A vaporizer for a supply of fuel vapor to a fuel powered device, comprising:
- a. a liquid petroleum gas (LPG) supply tank;
- b. an immersed type vaporizing vessel comprising:
- i. a heat exchange liquid;
- ii. an LPG line immersed inside said heat exchanger liquid;
- iii. a heating system to heat the heat exchanger liquid;
- iv. an inlet port and an outlet port;
- c. a liquid LPG supply line to carry the LPG from said supply tank to the inlet port of said vessel;
- d. a vapor LPG line to carry a vapor LPG from said outlet port to said fuel powered device, and
- e. a temperature sensor to measure the temperature of said heat exchanger liquid, and a command system to shut off the vaporizer if the temperature of said heat exchanger liquid drops below a predefined temperature.
A method of vaporizing liquid petroleum gas (LPG), the method comprising:
- a. using a vaporizer to vaporize a liquid LPG, wherein said vaporizer comprising of a LPG line immersed inside a temperature controlled liquid bath to heat the LPG;
- b. using a controlled inlet line to supply the liquid LPG to the vaporizer;
- c. using a controlled outlet line to remove vapor LPG out of the vaporizer;
- d. continuously measuring and monitoring the temperature of the liquid bath;
- and
- e. shutting off the outlet of the vaporizer if the temperature of the liquid bath drops below a predetermined temperature.
