Evaporating Dry Chlorine

Evaporating Dry Chlorine

Evaporating Dry Chlorine

(OP)
Can someone point me in the right direction to figure out how the moisture content of dry liquid chlorine (14 ppm H2O) is affected when it is evaporated. I'm trying to prove that a chlorine dryer, that was installed about 20 years ago and has a useful life of 3 months, is not needed.

RE: Evaporating Dry Chlorine

I would be very careful. The evaporation process will somewhat concentrate the water.
Also you have the potential reaction 2Cl2 + 4 H2O --> 4 HCl + O2, yielding HCl, highly corrosive with moisture.
