What is LPG?
Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) is made up of two liquefiable hydrocarbon gases – propane and butane. Both of these are by-products of the crude oil and natural gas refining process.
LPG is kept under pressure as a liquid in specialised containers, pressure vessels and gas bottles/cylinders. LPG cylinders are made in compliance with SABS Standard Specifications. Cylinders for appliance use come in various sizes, i.e. 9kg, 14kg, 19kg and 48kg.
In an appliance such as a stove, the LPG is mixed with oxygen in the burner and combusted under controlled conditions, producing heat for cooking.
LPG Gas Hot Water Systems
Gas hot water systems are increasingly popular for their efficiency and on-demand availability of hot water.
There are two types of gas hot water systems—storage hot water systems that heat and store water in a tank for use on demand, and instantaneous hot water systems that heat water on demand without the need for a storage tank.
Instantaneous hot water systems are especially fantastic, as they do not waste energy heating water that is standing in a tank not being used. It also means no more half-cold showers because a certain someone used all the water in the tank earlier in the day…
LPG Gas for Cooking
Cooking with gas has a number of advantages compared to other alternatives, such as with electric appliances. The most important of these is total control over the heat—an advantage that both amateur and professional chefs appreciate. The heat changes are also instantaneous, with no waiting for an element to heat up and cool down—you can jump straight from a high intensity sizzle to a gentle simmer in seconds.
Similarly, gas ovens offer a number of advantages, primary among them is better control over moisture content in the food, making it much less likely to dry out and instead maintain more of its natural juices.
Why is LPG a Good Option for your Home?
LPG is the preferred fuel for home use for three reasons:
- Efficiency—LPG is an energy-rich fuel, with greater caloric value (heating value) compared to natural gas, coal, or other common fuels. This means that LPG burns hotter and more efficiently than other options, meaning better heating for your home and better bang for your buck.
- Portability—LPG is a highly convenient fuel source, with gas cylinders easily delivered to homes, both urban and rural. It is also easy to store, with cylinders being safely located in homes around the country.
- Cleaner Power—LPG is cleaner than most other fossil fuels, with low sulphur content, low emissions of black carbon, and no spills. Its use helps keep our air clean and emissions of greenhouse gases low compared to use of other fossil fuels.
