LPG:
LPG tanks are manufactured as pressurized vessels, capable of withstanding a maximum of 115 atmospheres of gas pressure and external forces. They safely store LPG gas. There are two types of gas tanks: cylinder and toroidal (doughnut). Generally, steel sheets with a thickness of 3-4 mm are used in these types of tanks. These sheets are joined using the X-ray weld seam system. LPG tanks must comply with the ECER 67 standard. On the other hand, the gasoline tank is made of plastic, which is easily pierced and torn in the event of an accident. Therefore, an LPG tank is safer in case of an accident.
The functions of the Multivalve on the LPG Tank include:
- It should be connected to the LPG tank.
- It performs the gas filling process into the tank.
- It adjusts the filling limit.
- It indicates the fuel level in the tank.
- It directs LPG to the engine.
- It controls excess flow with an excess flow valve.
- If the pipes leading to the engine are pierced for any reason, it ensures safety by cutting off gas flow.
The maximum fuel capacity of the tank is 80% of the total capacity. The remaining 20% is filled with LPG vapor. This allows the liquid inside to expand before filling the entire volume with any increase in temperature. The Multivalve keeps the gas filling at a safe level.
In vehicles converted to use, when the correct product is selected, and the necessary installation is done, there is no performance loss or damage. However, the selected product must be of high quality. Choosing products that ensure 100% customer satisfaction will be beneficial for you. Additionally, the use of autogas leaves much less carbon waste compared to gasoline. This helps protect the engine and engine oil.
Unlike most hydrocarbon fuels, LPG has a low carbon-hydrogen ratio. Therefore, it releases much less carbon dioxide (CO2) per unit of energy produced compared to all other hydrocarbon fuels (natural gas, gasoline, diesel, etc.). Its calorific value is high.
- LPG is a mixture of butane and propane gases in different ratios. Although the mixture ratio varies, it produces more energy per kilogram compared to all other hydrocarbon fuels (natural gas, gasoline, diesel, etc.). It has a high calorific value.
- According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the global warming potential (GWP) factor of carbon dioxide (CO2) is 1, while that of methane (natural gas) is 25, and LPG's is 0.
- In terms of air pollution and human health, the most important pollutants are particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). In European Union countries, health expenditures due to PM are estimated to be 75,000 euros per ton, and those due to NOx are 12,000 euros.
- Particulate matter is estimated to reduce the average life expectancy of each person by 8 to 6 months in European Union countries due to air pollution. Additionally, it has been determined that respiratory problems caused by open fires cost 1.5 million lives worldwide each year.
- LPG's particulate matter (PM) emission is 25-35 times less than wood and coal, 10 times less than diesel, and 30% less than gasoline.
- Among automotive fuels, LPG autogas has the lowest nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. An LPG vehicle produces 50% less NOx per kilometer than a natural gas vehicle, 75% less than a gasoline vehicle, and 200% less than a diesel vehicle.
- In the European Union, considering health expenditures due to harmful substances emitted per 1000 kilometers, LPG autogas provides 70% less health expenditure than gasoline and 700% less than diesel.
