Fuel Gases

Fuel GasesA range of products based on hydrogen andhydrocarbon molecules that are burned normallywith an oxidant to produce thermal energyEach fuel gas has a different ratio of carbon atoms to hydrogen atoms and thismeans that different amounts of oxygen are needed to burn the fuel gas efficiently.This ratio of fuel to oxidant affects the temperature of the flame, the flammabilityand explosive limits. Acetylene is lighter than air and gives the highest flame temperature of all fuelgases. It also uses the least amount of oxygen to give complete combustion Hydrogen is lighter than air and burns with an invisible flame. It is also the onlyfuel gas that does not contain any carbon atoms Propane is heavier than air, having both a high primary and secondary flametemperature Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a by-product of crude oil refinement. It is madeup of several fuel gases such as methane, butane and propane. The ratios ofthe gases vary between suppliers and for this reason flame properties canalso differ.Any questions?Ask the Industrial Gas TeamEmail usGENIE cylindersLightweight.
