    摘要: A vaporization system and control method are provided. Liquid cryogen is provided to first ambient air vaporizer (AAV) units. When an output superheated vapor temperature is less than a threshold, the liquid cryogen is provided to second AAV units. When greater than or equal to the threshold, it is determined whether the second AAV units are defrosted. When defrosted, the liquid cryogen is provided to the second AAV units. When not defrosted, it is determined whether ice has formed on the first AAV units. When not formed, it is again determined whether the superheated vapor temperature is less than the threshold. When formed, it is determined whether a current ambient condition is favorable to defrosting the second AAV units. When not favorable, the liquid cryogen is provided to the second bank of AAV units. When favorable, it is again determined whether the superheated vapor temperature is less than the threshold.

    摘要: A cryogenic vaporization system and a method for controlling the system are provided. The system includes a first vaporizer arrangement and a second vaporizer arrangement configured for receiving a liquid cryogen and outputting a superheated vapor. The second vaporizer arrangement is connected in parallel with the first vaporizer arrangement, and includes one or more banks of ambient air vaporizer (AAV) units or loose fill media with a high heat capacity. The second vaporizer arrangement has a different configuration than that of the first vaporizer arrangement. The system further includes at least one control valve controlling provision of the liquid cryogen to at least one of the first vaporizer arrangement and the second vaporizer arrangement.
