A relatively new invention is an explosion-proof composite cylinder, which is increasingly being purchased by consumers to solve various problems associated with the need to use gaseous fuel. It is based on a polymer, which today replaces metal in everyday life and production conditions. Metal counterparts gradually become obsolete, they are dangerous, and their use is inconvenient, so experts advise replacing them with modern high-quality polymer cylinders, which are sold with a manufacturer's warranty.
Description
Modern polymer-based composite cylinder is a sample product for gas storage and transportation. Such cylinders are designed so that during operation they do not pose a danger to human he alth and the environment. It is noteworthy that in the event of a fire, such products cannot cause an explosion, which is a simultaneous release of gas in a large volume into the environment. This can happen with metal cylinders, however, in modern products, there is a gradual decrease in high pressure through the body, and the combustion of gas in the fire is carried outin a natural way. Thus, the gas is released gradually, burning and preventing the possibility of an explosion.
The composite cylinder is also easy to use. The material, which is called fiberglass, is of high quality and is used to reduce the weight of the balloon. As a result, it is possible to form transparent walls that allow you to control the gas level and monitor fuel consumption. You will no longer face the problems that were previously expressed by the fact that the gas could suddenly run out.
The composite cylinder is durable, it is made of impact-resistant material that is resistant to mechanical and chemical stress. The material does not react with fuel and environmental elements. This indicates that it will be able to serve for many years without being subjected to corrosion and other damage.
Environmental safety quality
Perhaps everyone knows what a metal gas cylinder looks like, but not everyone can imagine what kind of design a polymer cylinder has. If you purchase the latest product, you can fit it into the interior of any home, as it has an attractive design and aesthetic appearance. Not to mention environmental safety.
Today there are many devices, a huge amount of equipment and technology that make human life easier and easier. Many people forget that the objects around us must be safe.
According to studies, it is safe to say that composite cylinders cause much less harm to the environment compared to metal counterparts. They are equipped with high-quality valves and gearbox-type components that eliminate fuel leakage and are able to last for a long time. Among other things, the composite gas cylinder is much easier to dispose of.
Use area
Modern gas cylinders open up many possibilities for using this equipment. It can be applied in the conditions of a summer residence, at home, industry and business. Such cylinders are suitable for tourists and motorists, among other things, they can be used during construction and repair work, as well as for space heating and cooking.
Description and cost of Ragasco LPG 12, 5 composite cylinder
If you are interested in a composite gas cylinder, then you can get acquainted with its features using the example of Ragasco LPG 12.5, which has a volume of 12.5 liters. Its height is 299 mm. The refueling gas can be not only butane, but also propane, and the weight of the contained propane is 5 kg. As for butane, it can be placed in this container in the amount of 6 kg. The weight of the balloon itself is 3.4 g.
The manufacturer took care of safety and supplied the device with a fusible link and a valve with a safety valve. Such composite gas cylinders, the price of which is approximately 5900 rubles,are made of fiberglass strands coated with epoxy resin. Such products are explosion-proof, they are designed in accordance with impact resistance standards, which makes them shock-resistant and resilient.
Description and cost of Ragasco LPG 18, 2
Polymer-composite cylinders have recently become more common, as an alternative solution, you can consider Ragasco LPG 18, 2, which will cost about 6300 rubles. Its volume is 18.2 liters, and its height and diameter are 460 and 306 mm, respectively. Butane, as well as propane, can act as a refueling gas, as in the case described above. The weight of the contained propane is 7.5 kg, butane - 9 kg. The cylinder itself weighs 4 kg, and it can be used at an operating temperature range ranging from -40 to +50 ° С.
Description of the cylinder Ragasco LPG 24, 5
Polymer-composite cylinders today are offered for sale in a wide range, another option is Ragasco LPG 24, 5, the cost of which is 6590 rubles. The volume of the container is 24.5 liters, but the height and diameter are equivalent to 571 and 306 mm, respectively. As for propane and butane, they can be placed in a container of 10 and 12 kg, respectively. The balloon itself has a slight weight, but it differs from the two options described above and is 5 kg. Its working pressure is 20 bar, and the working temperature of the medium varies in the same range as that ofoption that was described above.
Why you should prefer a polymer-composite cylinder to metal-composite and metal products
Composite gas cylinders, the price of which is affordable for the modern consumer, are more preferable than metal-composite and metal cylinders. This is due to their low weight, which is 70% less than metal. If we are talking about a metal-composite cylinder, then its weight is considered average. Among other things, such a function of visibility of the gas level is very important both for industrial enterprises and for private use. Manufacturers took care of this and made the polymer-composite cylinders transparent, while the two analogues described above do not differ in such qualities.
Polymer-composite gas cylinders have another advantage, which is the absence of corrosion. If you purchase a metal cylinder, then the material can be damaged from the inside and outside, while metal-composite products corrode only from the inside. The impact resistance of polymer composite containers is increased, but metal ones can be easily damaged, but when it comes to metal composite containers, their impact resistance is average.
Conclusion
Speaking of the above, it can be noted that cylinders made of composite materials are more preferable for both domestic use and industrial use. This is also due to the lack of sparking, anda metal cylinder is not of such quality, which is especially dangerous during transportation.
