Gas system in caravans (cars and caravans), just like at home, is using \npropane-butane gas or LPG (a liquefied mixture of propane and butane). \nLPG at room temperature and at normal pressure is in gas phase and liquefies when its pressure is above 2.2 atmospheres. The gas is pumped into the cylinder at a pressure of 6 atmospheres. Gas in the cylinder being at a pressure higher than 2.2 atmospheres is a liquid gas that accumulates at the bottom of the cylinder. Gas in gas phase accumulates in upper part of the cylinder. Cylinders in which LPG is stored and transported are usually filled to 80% or 85% volume in order to avoid bursting of the cylinder by the liquid which develops when the liquid gets too hot.\n\n\n\n\n

For cookers, burners, refrigerators, water heater etc. gas is used in the gas phase. Gas is taken from the top of the cylinder. In autogas liquid gas is taken from the bottom of the cylinder to supply the engine, which is then evaporated in converter (this is usually achieved by having engine coolant circulated through a heat exchanger that transfers heat from that coolant to the LPG). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common caravans gas cylinders are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Traditional exchangeable cylinders <\/strong> (filled by the weight to not exceed 80% of the filling), these cylinders are usually equipped with a simple outlet valve with a mandatory safety valve set at 27bar pressure. Due to the risk of overfilling these cylinders require special filling equipment.
