Minimizing problems in conventional LPG cylinder manifolds used in apartment buildings in Sri Lanka

Abstract

Apartment users are heavily depended on conventional type LPG supply systems for their cooking purpose. However, this system identified many drawbacks in terms of user safety. This finding alone justifies the need for the LPG industry to find ways to work with LPG suppliers, distributors and building contractors to develop commercially sustainable safe business models for supplying across apartment buildings. Alternatively, liquid withdrawal LPG cylinder manifolds are recommended as safe, effective and efficient system for apartments. In the same time the proposed system can be shown as a solution for limited space in apartments for storage of cylinders. The paper discusses existing issues in conventional LPG cylinder manifolds and presents a liquid withdrawal compact LPG supply system for apartment buildings as a solution for issues in conventional LPG supply systems
