Description:

The paper discusses the use of renewable energy sources for the LPG vaporizer systems in a moderate climate. The presented alternative solutions based on modern gas devices and renewable energy show great potential for energy savings in liquid gas evaporation systems in comparison to classical and currently commonly used systems. It has been demonstrated that the proposed solutions can significantly reduce the consumption of energy used to evaporate LPG in an environmentally friendly manner. The use of gas heat pumps in relation to a traditional energy source enables gas consumption to be reduced to 36%. The extension of the heat pump system with ground air heat exchanger or with vertical or horizontal heat exchangers, allows savings in gas consumption up to 42%. Moreover, the application of such systems enables more effective use of low emission and efficient heating medium in gas systems. In addition, in summer, when there is no need to evaporate the liquefied gas, these devices can be used to cold-production for, social and living needs.
