[edit] Implementatifactor
"Implementatifactor to such use is the supply of LPG." What?! --ozzmosis 17:39, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] LPG in Cooking Sprays
Anyone can advise me on the safety in using the cooking sprays which as I understood the propellant is LPG...
[edit] RESPONSE
WANK - Worldwide Analysis Non-Industial Knowledge is an organisation notifying consumers about the majority of safety precautions and facts of using cooking equipment. If you download the PDF 'knowledge booklet' from their website you will find under the section 4.53.2 there is a specific section that explains in detail on sprays and propellants and how to spray without causing any harm.
[edit] Separation of Autogas section
I've created a new page at Autogas (replacing a redirect to here) and will shortly move the content of the Usage in cars section to that page. I will also be moving some of the references at the same time.
This may create the need for other cleaning up in this article. If you spot something, feel free to fix it. :) --Athol Mullen 06:32, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Forklifts?
Some (small) warehouse forklift trucks have red gas bottles mounted on the back? Does anyone know about this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.17.216.130 (talk) 10:04, August 24, 2007 (UTC)
A Yep some forklifts shore do run on LPG one from a joinery plant used to always come an fill up at the local gas station wen i was there, some use 9kg 4.5kg bottles were as this one i remember had a big 45kg bottle Maximum effect (talk) 21:28, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Flash point?
The article used to include a section on the use of LPG as a refrigerant. That said:
- in highly refined form it [propane] exhibits a relatively high flash point of 891 °C (1635 °F)
This means that below 891 °C, if you mix propane with air and try to ignite it with a match, then you will fail, no matter what the concentration. I don't believe this. Perhaps they didn't know the difference between the flash point and autoignition temperature?
I removed the whole section, since it was confusing, and I don't know enough about the subject to fix it. If someone does then it would be nice if they could replace it with correct information.
[edit] Refrigeration
This mentions that LPG is better than refrigerants such as 134a because it doesn't deplete ozone, but accourding to R134a, neither does 134a. RobertDahlstrom 10:23, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
- Indeed, I've reviewed several references and the issue with HFC134a is greenhouse effect, not ozone depletion. Hence, I've removed reference to ozone depletion from the refrigerants section. --Athol Mullen 23:17, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] LPG
WHY? YOU USES LPG AT HOME —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.163.69.205 (talk) 03:48, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Reason for use in homes
LPG is sometimes used in homes that cannot be supplied by mains gas. This could be because they are too far away from any gas mains. For this purpose, the LPG can be stored in underground/above ground tanks. --N (talk) 10:09, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- It's not just because of remote locations. In some suburban areas in Australia, there are sections of suburbs with reticulated natural gas, and other sections of the same suburb just a few streets away that do not have reticulated gas. People in the latter locations who want to use gas have no option but to use bottled LPG. --Athol Mullen (talk) 11:07, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
