Propane,
also commonly referred to as liquefied petroleum gas, LPG,
is a colourless, odourless, non-toxic gas.
It burns much more efficiently and cleanly compared to its
fossil
fuel counterparts, including diesel and gasoline, as its products
do not include sulphur dioxide or particulates.
Characteristics
of Propane
Propane
has a number of unique characteristics that increase
its usefulness and value as an energy source. At
the same time, these characteristics require that
you respect the product to assure your safety.
Propane
is not poisonous.
Propane
vapor is more dense (heavier) than air and, as
a result, can accumulate in low spots.
Propane
can be liquefied at ordinary temperatures with
moderate pressures.
In
its natural state, propane is colorless and odorless.
An unpleasant-smelling agent is added to help detect
leaks.
As
a liquid, propane is easily transported and stored.
Propane
burns cleanly and has a high heat value.
Propane
liquid is extremely volatile and will vaporize
quickly if spilled.
Propane
vapor will diffuse very slowly into the atmosphere
unless assisted by strong wind currents.
Propane
vapor leaking into the atmosphere cannot always
be detected by the eye.
One
gallon of propane liquid will produce about 270
gallons of propane vapor in the air.
One
gallon of propane liquid will produce about 10,000
gallons or 1,300 cubic feet of a combustible propane-air
mixture in the atmosphere.
