Hydrexx™ fills the critical application niche where 3-phase electrical power is lacking, or where an open flame Direct Fired vaporizer is inappropriate.
The Heating Process
Hydrexx is a compact indirect heated vaporizer. The heat source can be excess hot water from a process or from a dedicated hydronic boiler (remote or packaged from the factory). Hydrexx can also accept saturated process steam as the heating medium.
Hydrexx is corrosion resistant! The heating medium (e.g. hot water or steam) flows inside stainless steel tubes encased by the aluminum shell.
The process fluid (e.g. propane, butane or LPG) is admitted on the shell side and extracts the heat from the stainless steel tubes. Our proprietary Liqui-SAFE ™ valve prevents liquid LPG from passing downstream of the vaporizer. And in the event of a ‘high liquid level’ occurrence, the Liqui-SAFE™ valve provides visual indication of activation.
Two Configurations Available
HX Series vs. HXB Series
The “free-standing” Hydrexx HX Series is limited in supply scope to the heat exchanger, Liqui-Safe™ Valve and relief valve.
All other appurtenances must be sourced locally or requested as options from Algas-SDI.
The HXB Series is a base-plate mounted package with an integral dedicated hydronic boiler installed at the factory.The HXB Series is pre-piped, pre-wired and ready for installation.
The LPG vapor fired hydronic boiler provided with the HXB Series heats the water to the desired preset temperature.The water is contained within a closed loop system and circulated by an integral pump.
Hydronic boilers are efficient, economical and a proven solution for industrial applications worldwide.
