Definition of LPG and Its Common Uses

LPG is a byproduct of the oil and gas industry and is a gas at room temperature and pressure. It is commonly used for heating, cooking, and transportation. LPG is composed of a mixture of propane and butane and is stored in pressurized tanks. LPG is a versatile, eco-friendly gas that is increasingly being used as a fuel alternative for portable generators. It has a higher calorific value than gasoline or diesel, making it a clean and efficient energy source.

Overview of LPG Conversion for Generators

LPG conversion kit is a set of components that allows users to modify their existing generators to run on LPG fuel. By installing an LPG conversion kit, users can enjoy the benefits of using LPG as a cleaner, more cost-effective fuel source for their generators.

Advantages of LPG Conversions for Portable Generators

  • Greater Economy: LPG is cheaper than gasoline and diesel, and its use can reduce fuel costs by up to 50%. LPG can save you money in the long run and is a more sustainable fuel alternative.

  • Enhanced Reliability: LPG burns more cleanly and produces fewer emissions than traditional fuels, which can extend the lifespan of the engine and reduce maintenance costs.

  • Increased Safety: LPG is non-toxic and non-corrosive, and its use eliminates the risk of fuel spills and fires associated with gasoline and diesel. This is especially important for outdoor events where safety is a top priority.

  • Greater Acceptability at Events: LPG generators are commonly used in indoor and outdoor events due to their low noise levels and environmental friendliness. It is a sustainable energy source that is easily accessible, making it a popular fuel alternative.

How to convert gasoline generator to LPG

To convert a gasoline generator to LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) fuel, you'll need to follow these steps. Before you start, make sure you have all the necessary materials and tools.

Materials:

  • LPG conversion kit (specific to your generator brand and model)

  • Wrench set

  • Screwdriver set

  • Pliers

  • Hose clamps

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Safety first: Before starting the conversion, make sure the generator is turned off and disconnected from any power source. Also, ensure that the gasoline tank is empty.

  2. Remove the air filter: Locate the air filter housing on your generator and remove it using a screwdriver or wrench, depending on the fasteners used. Keep the screws or bolts in a safe place, as you'll need them later.

  3. Disconnect the carburetor: Using a wrench, disconnect the fuel line from the carburetor. Then, remove the bolts or screws that hold the carburetor in place. Carefully remove the carburetor from the engine and set it aside.

  4. Install the LPG conversions: The LPG conversion kit should include a regulator specifically designed for your generator. Attach the conversionsto the designated mounting location on the generator using the provided hardware. Make sure the regulator is securely fastened.

  5. Reinstall the air filter: Place the air filter housing back and secure it using the original screws or bolts.

  6. Connect the LPG fuel tank: Follow the instructions provided with your LPG conversion kit to connect the LPG fuel tank to the regulator. Make sure all connections are tight and secure.

  7. Test the generator: Turn on the LPG fuel supply and start your generator according to the manufacturer's instructions. Check for any leaks around the connections and listen for any unusual sounds. If everything seems to be working correctly, you have successfully converted your gasoline generator to LPG fuel.

By following these steps, you'll enjoy the benefits of using LPG fuel, such as lower emissions and reduced fuel costs.

Compare fuel consumption and cost of LPG and petrol

The fuel consumption of an LPG-converted generator is approximately 0.4 kg LPG per kW/h of electricity generated. On the other hand, a small gasoline generator may consume about 0.3 liters per kW/h. And LPG tends to be much cheaper than gasoline, typically $0.50 per kilogram for LPG versus $1.00 per liter for gasoline. Therefore, we can see that LPG is generally more cost-effective than petrol. However, LPG vs gasoline cost comparisons can vary by geography and market.
