The Effect of LPG on Performance
The Effect of LPG on Performance
LPG is a situation that people do not like very much because it generally reduces the performance of vehicles. The reason why it reduces its performance is that it takes up more space and has less energy than in gaseous form. This means that when you draw the gas into the cylinder and draw the air, the gaseous LPG replaces the air. Gasoline gives much more performance. Because in gasoline, the same amount is sprayed into the intake manifold, since the liquid is denser and takes up much less space. Gasoline burns faster, while LPG burns more slowly. Therefore, the performance of LPG is lower compared to gasoline.
Another function of LPG is that it can reach a high combustion temperature. Compared to gasoline, it should burn more in a hot environment. This means that it warms up its surroundings more and the engine temperature increases. It causes the fragile parts inside to break and melt at high temperature. A common problem is that the valves here break or melt. Aluminum alloy is used in the new generation vehicles to reduce the weight of the parts, while steel alloy is used in the old engines. Aluminum alloy, which cannot withstand high temperatures, can melt or break.
