Another of the frequently asked questions of Calor Gas Dealers Towler & Staines, the LPG Specialists is "do I need to change from propane to butane Calor Gas cylinders when I go caravanning or camping in summer?
The answer is no, because propane offers you the same qualities of performance as butane and has greater flexibility in terms of available regulators. You can fit a regulator which passes a greater amount of gas if you have a lot of gas appliances in your caravan such as a water heater.
For the technically minded, butane has a maximum flame temperature of 1996 degrees C and propane 1980 degrees C. The Calorific Value vaporised is 3200 BTu per cubic foot for butane and 2500 BTu per cubic foot for propane. Butane is needed for indoor use and propane for external use in many applications.
However, the gas performance difference is not really noticeable in use so we advise you to stay with propane all year round.
