Liquefied Petroleum Gas Systems: A Review On Desing And Sizing Guidelines

Abstract

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a fossil fuel widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. LPG systems must be designed and sized considering minimum safety standards established in national and international regulations. An LPG system comprises fuel storage containers, pipelines, valves, meters, consumption equipment, and safety and protection elements. These must be sized and selected to withstand the action of the fuel gas and the working conditions to which they will be subjected. This article presents a review of the most important points to consider in the design and sizing of an LPG system based on the most representative international regulations.
