Põletusgaasi

Põletusgaasi, also known as fuel gas, is a general term for a combustible gas mixture used as a fuel source. These gases are typically burned in engines or industrial processes to produce heat or power. Common examples of põletusgaasi include natural gas, propane, butane, and acetylene.

Natural gas is a fossil fuel composed primarily of methane, often extracted from underground deposits. Propane and butane are liquefied petroleum gases (LPG), stored under pressure in liquid form and vaporized for use. Acetylene is a highly flammable hydrocarbon gas used in welding and cutting due to its extremely high flame temperature.

The composition and properties of põletusgaasi vary depending on its source and intended application. Safety precautions are crucial when handling and storing these gases due to their flammability and potential for explosion. Proper ventilation, leak detection, and adherence to safety regulations are essential to prevent accidents. The choice of põletusgaasi depends on factors such as availability, cost, energy content, and specific requirements of the application. Its use is widespread in domestic heating, cooking, industrial furnaces, and as a fuel for vehicles.
