Iyini i-liquefied petroleum gas?

	I-liquefied petroleum gas, noma i-LPG ngamafuphi, iyingxube yamagesi amabili: IBhutan I-Propane Cishe u-60% we-LPG ukhishwa phansi noma olwandle njengegesi yemvelo, kanti enye ikhiqizwa ngenqubo yokucwenga uphethiloli.
	Igesi ibe isicindezelwa ngokwanele ukuba ibe uketshezi olungagcinwa emathangeni amancane bese ludedelwa kancane kancane ukuze lunikeze amandla. I-propane ithatha cishe indawo engaphansi ngokuphindwe izikhathi ezingu-270 futhi i-butane ithatha indawo engaphansi ngokuphindwe izikhathi ezingu-230 lapho icindezelwe, okusho ukuthi i-LPG kulula ukuyiphatha futhi ihlala isikhathi eside.
	Uma usebenzisa i-LPG, isilawuli siqinisekisa ukuthi igesi ikhishwa ngokuphepha nangokulinganayo kusuka kusilinda ngevalvu. Kulesi sigaba, iphinda iguquke isuke oketshezini ibe igesi ehwamukayo.
	Njengoba i-LPG icishe ingabi naphunga, abakhiqizi bengeza amakhemikhali ukuze bakhe iphunga eliyisici uma kwenzeka kuvuza.
	E-UK, i-propane ivamise ukugcinwa emathangeni abomvu kanye ne-butane eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. Amathangi aluhlaza, avame ukubizwa ngokuthi i-patio gas, ngokuvamile aqukethe ingxube ye-butane ne-propane. Nokho, imibala ingase yehluke kwamanye amazwe.
	Igesi ye-butane ivamise ukusetshenziselwa izinto zikagesi ezincane zasendlini njengezifudumezi eziphathwayo noma izinto ezisebenza ngaphandle njengezitofu nezoso ehlobo. Inobuthi obuncane kune-propane, ngakho-ke ingagcinwa ngokusemthethweni endlini. Kodwa-ke, ayishi kahle kakhulu ezimweni ezibandayo - ngaphansi kuka-0 ° C - ngakho-ke ivame ukuxutshwa ne-propane engu-20%, ezosebenza emazingeni okushisa aphansi kakhulu.
	Ipropane inephuzu lokubilisa (izinga lokushisa elishintsha kulo lisuka kugesi owuketshezi liye kuhwanqa futhi lingasetshenziswa) -42°C. Lokhu kusho ukuthi ngaphandle uma uhlala endaweni efana neNorth Pole, ungayisebenzisa unyaka wonke. I-propane ihlala isesimweni se-liquid ngenxa yokucindezela ngaphakathi kwethangi futhi iba igesi futhi lapho ikhishwa ethangini futhi ibuyela kumfutho womoya.
	Ukusebenzisa kalula isimo sezulu esibandayo se-Propane kuyenza idume kumakharavani kanye nophethiloli olungele amathangi okufudumeza angaphandle, izimoto, izibasi zegesi, izoso ezinkulu, nezinye izinto zikagesi ezidinga umthombo wokushisa onamandla kodwa ophathekayo. Kodwa-ke, inobuthi, ngakho-ke kufanele igcinwe ngaphandle njalo.
	Amasilinda amaningi egesi enziwe ngensimbi. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi insimbi enamandla iyadingeka ukuze imelane nezingcindezi namazinga okushisa ahlukahlukene okwenzeka ngaphakathi ebhodleleni, kodwa lokhu kwenza kube nzima kakhulu futhi kube nzima ukuhamba.
	Kodwa-ke, iziqukathi ezilula ziya zivame kakhulu futhi eziningi manje sezenziwe nge-aluminium, i-fiberglass noma ipulasitiki. Lamathangi angasindi afaneleka kakhulu kuma-caravan, njengoba angeke anyuse kakhulu isisindo semoto emakhaleni noma ayenze ingalingani ngaphambili.
	Iziqukathi ezikhanyayo noma ezibonisa ngale ziya ngokuya zivame kakhulu. Ngokuvamile zenziwe nge-fiberglass noma ipulasitiki futhi zikhombisa cishe ukuthi ingakanani igesi esele ngaphakathi.
	Amanye amasilinda afika ne-pressure gauge ekuvumela ukuthi uhlole izinga legesi futhi usebenze njengomtshina ovuzayo. Ungakwazi futhi ukuwathenga ngokwehlukana ukuze wengeze kuwo. Akuwona wonke ama-regulators ane-gauge port, kodwa ama-adaptha ayatholakala ukuze athengwe. Ukuze uthole ulwazi olwengeziwe bheka: Yiziphi izesekeli zokulawula igesi ezitholakalayo?
	Esinye isisekeli esiwusizo yisikhombi sezinga legesi, esinamathela ngozibuthe ohlangothini lwethangi. Njengoba igesi isetshenziswa, izinga lokushisa ngaphakathi kwesilinda liqala ukwehla. Amakristalu awuketshezi akusikhombi asabela kulokhu ngokushintsha umbala, abonise ukuthi kufanele ucabange nini ngokufaka amafutha.
	Ungakwazi futhi ukuthenga izinkomba zezinga legesi ye-ultrasonic ezisebenzisa ubuchwepheshe obufanayo obusetshenziswa ekuskeneni kwe-ultrasound yezokwelapha. Kunemiklamo ehlukahlukene emakethe, kodwa yonke isebenza ngokuqondisa ugongolo lwe-electron ibe isilinda. Ingxenye ye-beam ibonakala, futhi lokhu kubonisa ukuthi ingabe ikhona igesi ewuketshezi esele ethangini ngaleso sikhathi.
	Uma ingekho igesi eliwuketshezi, inkomba ye-LED (i-light emitting diode) izoba bomvu, futhi uma idivayisi ithola igesi ewuketshezi, izoshintsha ibe luhlaza. Qaphela ukugcina inkomba ivundlile noma i-beam izoqondiswa nge-engeli ethangini futhi ungase uthole ukufundwa okungamanga.
