Installation 

 

 

 

 

Algas-SDI Operation and Maintenance Manual – P/N – 54000 

2-7

 

 

1.  Install a UL listed shut-off valve with a Minimum 250 PSIG (17.24 bar) gas 

pressure rating.   

2.  Install  a 0-300 PSIG (0-20.7 bar) pressure gauge (or provisions for one) 

ahead of the 1

st

 stage regulator.  

3.  Install the first stage regulator as close to the vaporizer as possible, but not 

further than 24” (0.6 m) from the outlet of the vaporizer.  The outlet pressure 

of the regulator should be set at 4 to 6 PSIG (0.3 to 0.4 bar) lower than tank 

saturated vapor pressure at lowest expected temperature; this may require 

periodic adjustment. 

4.  The second stage (or low pressure) regulator should be installed as close to 

the consuming equipment as practical. 

5.  A line relief valve may be installed (optional) to protect the regulators from 

excessively high pressure.  If a line relief valve is used, set the blow pressure 

at approximately 10  PSIG  (0.7 bar)  above the first stage regulator delivery 

pressure. 

 

VAPOR BYPASS LINE

 

(

see Figure 3) 

 

1.  Install a primary (first stage) regulator at the vapor outlet on top of the 

storage tank.  Set this regulator to deliver gas at  a pressure of 2 to 4 psi 

(0.14 to 0.3 bar)  below the setting of the vaporizer regulator.  Then if the 

vaporizer is overloaded or its output pressure drops off, the regulator on top 

of the storage tank will automatically take over. 

 

2.  Run a line from the regulator and tie it into the vapor service line downstream 

from the vaporizer first stage regulator. 

 

3.  Although vapor bypass line is not required for proper operation, it is 

recommended for all installations.

URNER 

REGULATOR SUPPLY LINE 

(OPTIONAL) 

 

Vaporizer burners are supplied with vapor from the outlet of the vaporizer where 

the least possibility of condensation will take place.   In regions where there is a 

problem with a high content of heavy ends in the LP gas,  a separate vapor 

supply line to the burner control on the vaporizer may be installed.  If a separate 

burner supply line is used, the following is recommended: 

 

1.  Disconnect the ¼” line at the burner regulator inlet. 

2.  Disconnect the ¼” line at the tee on top of the heat exchanger and plug it 

with ¼ NPT plug. 

3.  Install a first stage regulator as close to the tank vapor outlet as possible. A 

manual shut-off valve should be installed ahead of the regulator. 

4.  Connect the supply line from the first stage regulator to the burner regulator 

at the vaporizer.  Make  sure  that the supply is sized properly to handle 

maximum input rating of the vaporizer burner(s).
