EVAPORATOR
E-2000

TECHNICAL The E-2000 evaporator completes our range of

INFORMATION efficient and reliable gas feed systems. Its design
represents the collective experience from Wallace &
Tiernan centres around the world. The E-2000
evaporator provides a multitude of configurations
and incorporates a world wide tried function
proven over decades. The Wallace & Tiernan
E-2000 evaporator is a water-immersed tank heat
exchanger specifically designed for the conversion
of liquid chlorine to a gaseous state. The latent
heat of evaporisation limits gas withdrawal from
containers. An evaporator is necessary wherever the
rate of gas withdrawal from multiple containers is
not fast enough to keep with requirements. This
evaporator can also be adapted for handling other
gases such as sulphur dioxide and ammonia.

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

In accordance with local regulations relating to chlorination
systems, every new installation must be checked and
tested by an approved expert prior to its start-up. This
applies also to regular inspections. We recommend to
have these services carried out by our specially trained
technicians.
