Propane
Propane is one of the most widely used gases. This is due to the flammable property of the gas. The high flammability of the gas provides a controlled heating effect. This flammability makes the gas very interesting for the industrial and construction sectors. It is used as fuel for LPG forklifts, in the application of bitumen roofing and more. For forklifts, we also have special forklift cylinders available.
In addition to industry, the agricultural sector also makes extensive use of propane. Large spaces, such as stables, can be heated in a controlled manner with propane. In addition, landscapers also make extensive use of propane gas when controlling weeds.
The heating effect of propane gas is also important to recreation and restaurants. The gas is used to operate patio heaters and furnaces. The propane gas tank can be placed in the heater without a fixed gas line.
Propane as a refrigerant (R290)
Propane is also a proven and widely used refrigerant, which is why it is increasingly in demand. The main advantage of its use is that it is one of the natural refrigerants with a low Global Warming Point (GWP), which minimizes CO2 emissions and the greenhouse effect.
Propane has been used in our refrigerators as a refrigerant for many years. Partly due to the latest developments in the refrigerant industry, propane is easy to implement despite specific safety standards. They are becoming increasingly popular with designers and engineers who are consciously looking for new refrigeration systems and for a sustainable solution for environmental protection and energy efficiency.
Propane does not contribute to the greenhouse effect and has a very low GWP. Another advantage is the short payback period due to low energy consumption and low operating costs.
