Vaporization of anhydrous ammonia?
Vaporization of anhydrous ammonia?
(OP)
I have a water bath type ammmonia vaporizer in which the required supply ammonia operating range is 180 - 240 psig. The water bath temperature is set at 180 deg. F. The vaporizer vendor only wants single phase liquid ammonia being supplied to their equipment. I may need to bypass booster pumps and supply liquid ammonia at about 140-150 psig @ ground temperature (70 F). Would there be any issues here with the ammonia vaporizing/flashing before it arrives at the vaporizer, or other issues? I am not a chemical engineer and need some aid.
Thanks
Thanks

If you bypass the pump, you'll get your NH3 out at a pressure lower than you feed it by say 10 psi versus at a pressure 5 psia lower than the pump output.
