Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gasifiers, in particular to an air-temperature gasifier of LPG and LNG dual-fuel medium. Background Art

[0002] A vaporizer is a device used to heat liquid gas into gas. Simply put, liquid gas is heated and vaporized by a vaporizer and then becomes gaseous gas. The heating can be indirect (steam heating vaporizer, hot water bath vaporizer, natural ventilation air bath vaporizer, forced ventilation vaporizer, electric heating vaporizer, solid heat conduction vaporizer or heat transfer fluid) or direct (hot gas or submerged combustion).

[0003] LNG (liquefied natural gas) and LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) are two commonly used fuels. The prices of LNG and LPG vary in different regions and seasons. Especially in winter, due to the shortage of gas sources, the price of LNG rises significantly and will far exceed that of LPG. Therefore, using LPG in winter has great advantages. However, most of the gasifiers in the existing technology can only adapt to the gasification of one of the fuels, LNG and LPG. Enterprises need to be equipped with two sets of gasification equipment at the same time. Equipping two sets of gasification equipment separately will not only increase the cost, but also increase the floor space, which is not conducive to operation.

[0004] In view of this, there is an urgent need for an LPG and LNG dual-fuel medium air-temperature gasifier. Summary of the invention
