What is VoT (Vapor Off-Take)

VoT (Vapor Off-Take) refers to the withdrawal of LPG in vapor (gaseous) phase from the top portion of an LPG storage vessel or cylinder.
In LPG storage:
• Liquid LPG settles at the bottom
• LPG vapor occupies the top space
VoT uses this vapor space for supply.

VOT Uses

Where VoT is Used

VoT is suitable only for low-flow, low-consumption applications.

Application — VoT Usage

    • Domestic cooking — Yes

    • Small commercial kitchens — Yes

    • Industrial burners (low load) — Yes

    • Bottling plants — No

    • Bulk transfer / Auto LPG — No

Why VoT Is Used

  • Simple system (no pump required)

  • Lower operating risk than LoT

  • Suitable for intermittent consumption

  • Uses natural vapor pressure of LPG

 However, vapor pressure depends on:

  • Ambient temperature

  • Liquid level inside the vessel

Typical VoT System Components

A basic VoT line consists of:

  • Vapor outlet nozzle (top of vessel)

  • Manual isolation valve

  • Pressure regulator

  • Safety relief valve

  • Vapor pipeline

  • Burner / appliance

No pump is required.

Safety Importance of LoT

  • Low flow capacity

  • Pressure drops at high demand

  • Low flow capacity

  • Pressure drops at high demand

  • Not suitable for continuous heavy loads

  • Risk of vessel chilling at high draw-off rates

If vapor is drawn too fast, liquid LPG may flash, causing:

      • Pressure collapse

      • Frosting on vessel

      • Supply interruptio

VoT vs LoT (Quick Comparison)

Aspect — VoT (Vapor Off-Take) — LoT (Liquid Off-Take)

  • Phase — Vapor — Liquid

  • Outlet position — Top of vessel — Bottom / dip pipe

  • Pump required — No — Yes

  • Flow rate — Low — High

  • Typical use — Domestic / small users — Bottling / Auto LPG

Safety Aspects of VoT

Lower hazard compared to LoT

Must have:

  • Pressure regulator

  • Relief valves

  • Proper ventilation

  • No liquid carry-over

Incorrect VoT design can cause liquid slugging, damaging regulators.

Regulatory References (India)

  • Gas Cylinder Rules, 2016

  • PESO-approved vapor withdrawal arrangements

  • OISD guidelines for LPG installations

Key Takeaway

VoT (Vapor Off-Take) is ideal for small, low-demand LPG consumption, using natural vapor pressure—simple, economical, but limited in capacity and not suitable for industrial-scale operations.
