How to obtain liquefied natural gas

What is liquefied natural gas.

First of all, a natural gas, mainly methane, propane, or possibly also a mixture of different gases.To liquefy the substance passes the cooling process or compression, while its volume is reduced by hundreds of times.The resulting gas is very unpretentious in storage and safe enough.For example, propane is fairly high ignition temperature - about 5000, which significantly reduces the risk of fire.

small amount of liquefied gas can be obtained and at home.In this case, we will focus on methane that stands out on the moor.To do this, you need to take a little bit of bog land from the bottom and put in a jar, pour on top of all this water.Bank tight-fitting lid and put in a warm place.Even after some time on the water surface bubbles appear - that is methane.Unfortunately, in life you have to use it in any way you will not be because of his meager volume.

Heating of houses and cottages liquefied gas.

Scope of liquefied gas is high enough, since refilling lighters to industrial scale.In household gas cylinders are widely used, which use propane.

The rapid rise in prices for utilities, makes people more often ask the search for alternative means of heating their homes.
this reason, preference is given to heating steel gas cylinders and convectors, which have significant advantages, namely:

• fuel is environmentally friendly;
• Ability to expose the temperature;
• Easy maintenance;
• Economy.

Safety during storage of gas cylinders.

Despite the fact that LPG is safe, you should still observe the safety precautions in order to avoid negative consequences:

• In no case can not furnish the cylinders in the sun;
• To use allowed only those who have been tested for proper operation;
• They must not have any mechanical damage;
• The room temperature should not exceed 45 degrees;
• Cylinders must be installed at a sufficient distance from the gas stove and batteries.

consumption and the cost of liquefied natural gas to heat your home.

Now it should be noted that, compared with natural gas from the central pipeline, the flow of liquefied gas will be much higher.Just calculate how much it will take gas in the heating season is almost impossible, this is due to many factors, such as which this year will be winter - the frosty or warm.Of great importance is the area of ​​the house, which will be heated.

For example, consider a house with total area of ​​100 m2.The volume of gas in the tank is about 40 liters (L 1 - around 20 rubles.), i.e.600 rubles will be spent on filling one cylinder.

average power of 12-15 kW boiler consumes about 0.10 kg gas / hour per 1 kW of heat, ie,consumption is about 1.5 kg / h.This power is sufficient that the house was warm.For example, the boiler will operate 24 hours a day, while gas consumption is about 36 kg.By simple calculations we determine that the amount coming out pretty decent, namely - 1200 rubles.per day.

How to reduce the cost of heating with liquefied gas?

If the floor area is more than 200m2, the installation of such heating is absolutely not profitable.In other cases, it may only need to follow some recommendations:

• Try not to use the service delivery gas cylinders at home, and to fill their own gas stations.Thus, you can control the volume obtained;
• If the street is not very cold, it is possible to set a lower temperature on the boiler, which significantly affects consumption;
• If you are away from home all day, and the weather allows - you can completely disable the heating system.Gated will keep warm until you return.
