In LP-Gas systems, what does 'vapor lock' refer to?

'Vapor lock' refers to a condition that can occur in LP-Gas systems, causing interruption in gas flow. This phenomenon typically happens when the liquid propane in the system converts to vapor within the delivery lines, creating a blockage that hinders or stops the flow of gas to the appliance or system. This interruption can impact the performance of appliances, making them inoperable until the vapor lock is resolved. Understanding this term is crucial for anyone handling LP-Gas, as it highlights the importance of maintaining proper system conditions to ensure consistent and safe gas flow. Recognizing and addressing the signs of vapor lock can prevent operational issues and enhance safety while working with LP-Gas.
