Large tip cutting torches require high oxygen flow rates to operate properly. Flow rate requirements of +/- 1000 scfh are commonly encountered. It is also common for users to try and feed these large tip torches from a single liquid cylinder that has a vaporizing flow capacity of only +/- 300 scfh. The ineffectiveness of this has been discussed in previous articles, but never shown like this new video from Victorhttp://www.jenobi.com/clientsites/thermadyne/video.htm
Hit the link and it should load right up. It provides a great explanation of the challenge of running large tip torches and the benefits of having proper liquid oxygen vaporization.
By the way- The side mount vaporizers shown are manufactured by West Cryogenics, Inc. and distributed by Eddie's Welding Supply and other gas and welding distributors.
