In the cold season many companies run into the problem of falling pressure in gas cylinders. This makes equipment run unevenly, increases gas consumption and reduces process efficiency.
The problem is particularly acute for construction sites, production facilities and companies using propane-butane mixture.
Why pressure falls
The gas in a cylinder is a mixture of propane and butane. At low temperatures butane practically stops vaporising, so pressure inside the cylinder drops sharply.
As a result equipment starts running unevenly or stops altogether.
What problems arise
- interruptions in equipment operation
- reduced output
- higher gas consumption
- incomplete use of the cylinder
The solution — heating gas cylinders
To maintain steady pressure, gas cylinder heatingis used. It is a safe solution that maintains the working temperature and ensures a steady gas supply.
Benefits
- gas savings of up to 30%
- steady equipment operation
- use of up to 95% of the gas
- fewer cylinders needed
Where it is used
- construction sites
- production plants
- the oil and gas sector
- industrial facilities
Conclusion
The problem of falling gas pressure in winter is solved with heaters. This cuts costs, improves operating stability and avoids equipment downtime.
