Vaporizer
First Claim
1. A vaporizer for generating a process gas from a gas-liquid mixture fluid, the vaporizer comprising:
- a container defining a process space of the vaporizer;
a supply head having a plurality of spray holes to spray the fluid within the container;
a heating passage disposed below the spray holes within the container, the heating passage being configured to heat the fluid passing therethrough and thereby generate the process gas;
a gas delivery passage connected to the container to laterally deliver the process gas from below the heating passage; and
a mist receiver provided at the container below the gas delivery passage.

Abstract
A vaporizer for generating a process gas from a gas-liquid mixture fluid includes a container defining a process space of the vaporizer. A supply head having a plurality of spray holes to spray the fluid is disposed within the container. A heating passage is disposed below the spray holes within the container. The heating passage is configured to heat the fluid passing therethrough and thereby generate the process gas. A gas delivery passage is connected to the container to laterally deliver the process gas from below the heating passage. A mist receiver is provided at the container below the gas delivery passage.
