LPG Propane

LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), commonly known as "cylinder gas", is a common energy source used in heating, heating and lighting in our country. LPG is a colorless and odorless gas. However, it is scented against possible leaks. LPG obtained from the purification of crude oil in refineries or from natural gas is filled into steel cylinders and presented to the consumer. The composition of the gas is 70% butane, 30% propane. It is a flammable gas heavier than air.

LPG exists in the cylinder in both liquid and gaseous form. When the device to which the cylinder is connected is started to be used, the gaseous LPG at the top decreases. The liquid LPG at the bottom fills the missing place by evaporation. Since LPG is a liquefied gas under pressure and its boiling point is below 0 degrees, it evaporates immediately at normal temperature. Being able to evaporate easily is a feature that makes LPG superior to other fuels. Since it can be easily liquefied under pressure, it can be easily stored and transported in steel cylinders. Being a storable energy source makes LPG superior to many other energy sources.

Properties of LPG gas

• Available in both liquid and gaseous form.
• It is a non-toxic gas. The reason why LPG gas is thought to be toxic is due to accidental deaths. Since it is heavier than air, it consumes oxygen very quickly in the environment and deaths occur due to lack of air.
• LPG features include easy storage and transportation. Gas LPG is converted to liquid LPG form for easy transportation.
• Chemical formula C4H10
• It is denser than air. It has a density ratio of 2.07.
• The boiling temperature is -0.5 degrees.
• It has a critical temperature value of 150.8 degrees.
• Freezes at -138 degrees.
• It has a pressure value of 0.92 bar at 15 degrees.
• Liquid specific gravity 0.560 kg/dm3,
• Gaseous specific gravity 1.860 kg/dm3,
• Steam pressure is 2.5 Bar at 15 degrees.
• Its calorific value is 10900 Kcal / Kg.

Usage Areas of LPG Gas

• In the kitchens of hotels and restaurants,
• For cooking, heating and bathing in homes,
• In constructions, especially road constructions,
• In the agriculture and livestock sector,
• Industrial sectors with high working pressure,
• In the maritime sector,
• As an alternative fuel in vehicles,
• In order to provide steam in the tourism and industry sector,
• In order to melt metal and aluminum in industry,
• As wood drying, paint drying, grain and drying,
• In the metal cutting and welding industries.
