VACUUM FLASHER Translation On Other Language:
English

VACUUM FLASHER in
English
A refinery vessel; a large-diameter column where charge stock is distilled at less than atmospheric pressure. The pressure in some flasher vessels is less than one-third atmospherics or 5 pounds per square inch. At this reduced pressure, lighter fractions of the heavy charge stock will flash off or vaporize. The lower the pressure, the lower the boiling point for all liquids.
