Selecting the Appropriate Gas Cylinder-Bottle Regulators and Accessories
Liquefied petroleum gas or LPG Gas as it is more commonly known is one of the world's most used energy medium for cooking and providing energy. It has been touted as the best, modern, clean, and efficient energy source and its use has been increasing on a daily basis.
Supply Choice
Today in the United Kingdom, there is a choice of many kinds of fuels to heat the home or for cooking, i.e. electricity, oil, and gas, but it has been gas that has become the most popular choice of many people. More and more homes are being directly connected to main gas lines, if there is a provision for this or they can opt for LPG gas being delivered to the consumer through cylinders or tanks from registered LPG gas suppliers. The gas is channeled to the cooker through a gas bottle regulator which sends the gas to the heater or the cooker as per the homeowner's requirements.
Automatic or Manual
In places where LPG gas bottles or cylinders are used for cooking, the main function of LPG gas bottle regulatorsis to safely maintain the pressure of the gas in the container, which is under very high pressure, and ensure its safe delivery to the cooker or oven. In situations where there are 2 or more LPG cylinders connected, to anticipate running out of gas, you will need a changeover valve; this could be either a manual or automatic version. In the manual version, the user will have to close the empty cylinder valve and physically turn the changeover lever to the second gas bottle; this allows you ample time to order a refill.
Appropriate Regulators
For commercial establishments, where the requirement for gas is more than a family, there may be several different sizes of gas cylinders and what the gas is being used for. Hotels, restaurants, and all-gas residence homes will require special industrial type regulators which are different from the typical gas cylinder regulator used in single residences. The piping, tubing, and regulator used are tougher and long-lasting than tubes and regulators used at homes, because the quantity of gas piped through is more. The tubes and regulators used must be based on the type of gas that is being supplied i.e., natural gas requires a different type of regulator because it has a different pressure setting as compared to liquefied petroleum gas or LPG.
