Abstract
A vapor generator which utilizes a primary fluid to vaporize a secondary fluid is provided with an open flow channel and elevated discharge nozzle for the introduction of secondary fluid. The discharge nozzle is positioned above a portion of the inlet line such that a vertical section of inlet line is filled with secondary fluid prior to discharge into the open channel. In and around the open channel, incoming secondary fluid mixes with recirculated fluid before being discharged through the top of the channel and passed through a tube bundle where it is vaporized.
