Definition of LPG
Oct 11, 2021| Definition of LPG
It is a fact that LPG is a gas. Actually, it is an abbreviation of Liquefied Petroleum Gas. At first, this name might seem a bit contradictory. How can something be both a gas and liquid? The former can fly in the air while the latter can splash in a pool. But as you will learn on this site, both the name and the gas itself actually make really good sense.
At normal temperature and pressure – as in your living room or garden – you will meet LPG as a gas. But when it is either cooled down or put under pressure, it changes into a liquid. Exactly the type of liquid that is filled onto the cylinders you use for your BBQ in the summer. However, as soon as the liquid leaves the cylinder – e.g. to turn your spareribs into a feast – it returns to normal temperature and pressure and therefore turns into a gas again.
Transforming a gas to a liquid has many advantages. To sum it all up, LPG is in many ways a truly responsible source of energy. Before we get to the details, let us highlight a feature or two that characterise LPG and its outstanding qualities.
