What are the advantages of LPG?
The useful characteristics of LPG fired
equipment is summarised below:
» Portability: Cylinders can be transported easily to the location or can be
fixed to mobile equipment.
» Own Storage: Alternate gas suppliers make use of piped delivery system
where the customer is affected the moment supply fails. LPG stored in
cylinders or bulk installations provide a greater degree of product
security.
» Wide Turn Down: By this is meant the range of gas flow from maximum to
minimum for a particular burner. Burners can be designed to operate over
wide range.
» Ease Of Control: Gaseous fuels are the easiest to control and are very
quick in response i.e. you can light a fire within seconds of turning the
burner knob on. Solid fuels are the slowest.
» Small Flames: Many processes require a small flame, or a number of small
flames rather than a big one. LPG is a good fuel for such applications.
6. Self-Pressurizing: LPG is stored under moderate pressure and therefore no
pumps or gravity system is needed to get the fuel to the burner. Simple LPG
burners are quite independent of electrical supply.
» Consistent Quality: LPG as all petroleum fuels is subject to stringent
quality controls and hence it is possible to maintain consistent quality of
the product.
» Clean Combustion: LPG is a high-grade fuel with negligible impurities
producing ean sulphur -free combustion gases. This can be important for many
processes especially where the gases come into contact with the products.
» Little Maintenance: Many LPG burners are very simple and require little
aintenance. The clean combustion gases ensure long life even for the more
complex burners.
Are you paying for an underweight cylinder?
» Do you know that a domestic cooking gas cylinder contains 14.2 Kg (plus or
minus 150 gm) of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)?
» Now add to that the weight of the empty cylinder (already marked on its
body). And you arrive at the correct weight of a filled cooking gas
cylinder. Anything less and you are not getting your due.
» Checks at our end. At BPCL, we have built in a series of checks in the
system to ensure that the LPG that reaches you is of the correct weight.
» First, at our LPG Bottling Plants, the cylinders are filled through a
preset weighing mechanism. They are then check-weighed for the correct fill
on a check scale.
» Next, they are fitted with leak-tight safety caps and pilfer-proof seals
before they move out of the plant.
» Finally, all our LPG distributors are instructed to carry out 100%
weighing checks to ensure that each and every cylinder is of the correct
weight.
» What should you do? In spite of all there tests, you may still suspect
that you are paying for an under weight cylinder, at the time of taking
delivery. To put your doubts to rest, all you need to do is to call up your
distributor. He will collect your cylinder and get it weighed at his godown,
in your presence. And if your cylinder is indeed underweight, we will
replace it immediately. At no extra charge.
How to make your cooking gas last longer?
Ways to make your gas last longer:
Organise your cooking
Prepare all the ingredients and keep them ready for cooking. This means you can
cook rapidly. If you have to stop cooking for a short while shut off the gas.
It's cheaper to light another match.
The family that eats together saves gas
If you have to heat food just once,it means less waste. Reheated food is also
less nutritious.
A gas burner has two positions - use them
Once you bring a liquid to boil or the food becomes hot you can keep it hot by
using the simmer position hereby saving a lot of gas. Because at the simmer
position gas flows out at only 1/4 to 1/3 the full rate. Try it out and see.
The colour and height of the flame are very important
If the flame is blue in colour, everything is fine. If the outlet holes are
blocked and the flame is yellow, have the stove checked by a mechanic.The flame
should never extend beyond the bottom of the pan. This saves gas and makes sure
the food is cooked properly, especially if there is liquid inside the pan or
vessel.
