Record 2 2010-07-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ovens, Furnaces and Boilers (Heating)
CONT

LP Gas Furnaces.... The technical data for these two furnaces [natural gas furnace and liquefied petroleum gas furnace] are identical except for the gas controls and the burner and pilot orifice sizes. For LP gas, the orifice sizes are much smaller because the gas has a higher density and is supplied at a higher manifold pressure.

Les gaz de pétrole liquéfié regroupent, entre autres, le propane et le butane. Les États-Unis, la France et le Canada utilisent surtout le propane comme combustible gazeux pour les générateurs d'air chaud. Le «butane» semble être surtout employé dans le sud des États-Unis.
