For natural gas substitution, LNT Gastechnik supplies the gas mixing facility with liquefied petroleum gas and air. In the facility, liquefied gas is stored and evaporated. During the highly accurate mixing of the air, both the pressure and the ratio of 60% liquefied gas and 40% air are regulated. While deviations of over 1 kWh were tolerated in old facilities, modern control and regulation technology can reduce deviations to about 0.2 kWh.
The facility continuously monitors and regulates the flow rates of air and propane gas, as well as the pressure to ensure the system maintains a constant, predetermined pressure. The start-up behavior and shutdown of the facility were specially optimized to avoid unwanted pressure fluctuations.
The calorific value of the gas mixture is continuously determined and monitored in the facility using modern safety and measurement technology to ensure the specified calorific value is achieved and maintained.
For added safety, gas sensors detect potential leaks and automatically shut down the facility.
Additionally, a consumption meter records the collected facility data in a statistic.
