petroleumkaasukse

Petroleumkaasukse refers to liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in Finnish. LPG is a fuel gas derived from petroleum refining and natural gas processing. It is a mixture primarily of propane and butane. Under normal atmospheric conditions, LPG is a gas, but it is stored and transported as a liquid under pressure. This makes it a convenient and portable energy source.

The composition of LPG can vary depending on the geographical location and the specific application. Typically, it contains at least 90% propane and butane, with trace amounts of other hydrocarbons. Its high energy density and relatively clean burning properties make it a popular choice for various uses.

Petroleumkaasukse finds application in a wide range of sectors. It is commonly used for domestic purposes such as cooking, heating, and powering water heaters, especially in areas not connected to natural gas grids. In the automotive industry, LPG is used as an alternative fuel for vehicles, often referred to as autogas. It is also utilized in industrial processes for heating, cutting, and welding. Additionally, LPG is used in agricultural applications, such as crop drying and powering machinery. Its portability and storage capabilities make it versatile for off-grid power generation and recreational activities like camping.
