What is meant by 'liquid withdrawal' in LP-Gas systems?

The term 'liquid withdrawal' in LP-Gas systems specifically refers to the process where LP-Gas is extracted from the storage tank in its liquid state, rather than as a vapor. This is typically done for applications that require the liquid phase of LP-Gas to be converted into vapor after withdrawal, allowing for efficient energy transfer. Certain equipment and applications, such as high-efficiency burners or gas engines, may require liquid withdrawal to properly function.

This process is crucial in situations where the consumption rate is high, and a large volume of gas needs to be supplied quickly. The ability to withdraw LP-Gas as a liquid also entails that the delivery system should be appropriately designed to handle the pressure and temperature conditions of the stored liquid. Understanding this process is vital for ensuring safe handling and effective use of LP-Gas.
