A liquid vaporizer (100) includes a stack of coaxially aligned, thermally conductive, thin, flat disks (120) having different diameters. The larger diameter disks (140) each include at least one aperture and preferably a plurality of closely spaced apertures (146) radially located a predetermined distance from the center of the disk (140). The vaporizer (100) further includes means (170) for establishing a liquid film on at least a portion of the surfaces of the larger diameter disks (140) and for accelerating the vaporization of the liquid thereon by passing a gas through the apertures (146) of the larger diameter disks (140) over the liquid film on the portion of the surfaces of the larger diameter disks (140).
