I'm not sure why the guys Thermax weren't excited about it.
I've done some more research on this subject and now the central question seems to be what's the vaporization capacity of a 30,000 gal tank @ 70F and 60% filled. Most rule-of-thumb charts I've seen online are from the ASME and only...
Hey ash9144, I was thinking the same thing. I ran that trap and talked with the sales guy from Thermax who makes those fin systems, but they weren't real excited about it.
So is there anyone else out there who is familiar with propane systems who can chime in on this?
The main question is: can I substitute either more tanks or ambient summer heat in lieu of off-the-shelf vaporizers.

Good point CompositePro - thanks for your input. My thoughts on the increased storage capacity was that it wouldn't be taken advantage of so much for the grain dryer during the summer, but afterwards in the wintertime we would have the option of getting into the retail propane business. We...
I'll have to check on the pressure relief. I'm pretty sure the tanks are rated at 250psi. We will be purchasing the tanks. My burner calls for 12-15 psi.
I guess the whole idea is: why spend a whole of lot of money on vaporizers if I can do the same thing with more tanks at about the same...
I will have a propane burner that burns vapor at a max rate of 140 MMBtu/hr. The Application is a large grain dryer which only operates in summer in the south when lowest ambient temp is around 70F at night and much higher during the day (90-100F). I'm looking at two options: the first is...
