Implementatifactor

"Implementatifactor to such use is the supply of LPG." What?! --ozzmosis 17:39, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

LPG in Cooking Sprays

Anyone can advise me on the safety in using the cooking sprays which as I understood the propellant is LPG...


RESPONSE

WANK - Worldwide Analysis Non-Industial Knowledge is an organisation notifying consumers about the majority of safety precautions and facts of using cooking equipment. If you download the PDF 'knowledge booklet' from their website you will find under the section 4.53.2 there is a specific section that explains in detail on sprays and propellants and how to spray without causing any harm.

Separation of Autogas section

I've created a new page at Autogas (replacing a redirect to here) and will shortly move the content of the Usage in cars section to that page. I will also be moving some of the references at the same time.

Forklifts?

Some (small) warehouse forklift trucks have red gas bottles mounted on the back? Does anyone know about this?

Flash point?

The article used to include a section on the use of LPG as a refrigerant. That said:

in highly refined form it [propane] exhibits a relatively high flash point of 891 °C (1635 °F)

This means that below 891 °C, if you mix propane with air and try to ignite it with a match, then you will fail, no matter what the concentration. I don't believe this. Perhaps they didn't know the difference between the flash point and autoignition temperature?

I removed the whole section, since it was confusing, and I don't know enough about the subject to fix it. If someone does then it would be nice if they could replace it with correct information.
