NGP Gas preHeater for sale from Niche Gas Products

NGP Gas preHeater

NGP Gas preHeater 200w, dust & moisture resistant

Designed to heat compressed gases - especially CO2, argon, nitrogen - before they reach the regulator. These gases can cause the regulator to freeze on high flows or when atmospheric conditions change.

Problem: As carbon dioxide (CO2) flows through a cylinder valve, the gas expands and becomes significantly colder which in turn can cause moisture within the CO2 to freeze at the regulator seat. The formation of ice around the regulator seat can lead to flow restriction or complete blockage of the system. Freezing of CO2 is more likely to occur with higher flows and in colder climates or the tropics where moisture in the air can form ice on the outside of equipment.

Solution: A method of minimising the above problem is to preheat the gas prior to entry to the regulator.

The NGP Gas preHeater has been designed to be connected between the outlet of a cylinder and the inlet of a regulator. The powerful 200 Watt heating element heats the gas as it flows through the body of the heater. The temperature of the heater is thermostatically controlled to around 75°C.

Manifold Applications:

To minimise freezing, a NGP Gas preHeater can be connected between each cylinder and the flexible lead. Alternatively, for manual manifold applications a NGP Gas preHeater can be connected between the manifold outlet and regulator.
