Abstract: Natural gas pressure drops in city gate stations, in the natural gas distribution network, and bypassing through throttle valves. On the other hand, sudden gas pressure drop causes extreme temperature drop. To prevent natural gas from being hydrated in city gate stations, a water bath heater is used, leading to heating natural gas before the pressure reduction stage.
