- Propane is a three-carbon alkane with the
molecular formula C3H8, normally a gas, but compressible to a
transportable liquid.
- A by-product of natural gas processing and
petroleum refining, it is commonly used as a fuel for engines,
oxy-gas torches, barbecues, portable stoves, and residential central
heating.
A mixture of propane and butane, used mainly as vehicle fuel, is
commonly known as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG or LP gas).
- It may also contain small amounts of
propylene and/or butylene. All commercial propane fuels include an
odorant, almost always ethanethiol, so that people can easily smell
the gas in case of a leak.
- Propane is produced as a by-product of two
other processes, natural gas processing and petroleum refining. The
processing of natural gas involves removal of butane, propane, and
large amounts of ethane from the raw gas, in order to prevent
condensation of these volatiles in natural gas pipelines.
- Additionally, oil refineries produce some
propane as a by-product of cracking petroleum into gasoline or
heating oil. The supply of propane cannot easily be adjusted to meet
increased demand, because of the by-product nature of propane
production. About 90% of U.S. propane is domestically produced.
The advantage of propane in cars is its liquid state at a moderate
pressure.
- Meanwhile it is noticeably cleaner (both
in handling, and in combustion), results in less engine wear (due to
carbon deposits) without diluting engine oil (often extending
oil-change intervals), and until recently was a relative
bargain in North America.
- Commercially available "propane" fuel, or
LPG, is not pure. Typically in the USA and Canada, it is primarily
propane (at least 90%), with the rest mostly ethane, propylene,
butane, and odorants including ethyl mercaptan.
- This is the HD-5 standard, (Heavy Duty-5%
maximum allowable propylene content, and no more than 5% butanes and
ethane) defined by the American Society for Testing and Materials by
its Standard 1835 for internal combustion engines.
- Not all products labelled "propane"
conform to this standard.
- Propane powers about 190,000 vehicles in
the United States and
more than 14 million worldwide.
- Propane vehicles are a good choice for
many fleet applications, including school buses, shuttle buses,
taxis and light-duty trucks. The advantages of propane as an
alternative fuel include its domestic availability, performance,
safety, and clean-burning qualities.
