CHECKING THE BOTTLED GAS SYSTEM
Descriptions – Bottled gas system
At delivery, each KABE Travel Master has been tested as
per the then applicable regulations.
The following checks should also be carried out regularly:
• When in continuous use, inspect gas lines and gas
appliances daily. Inspect for damage and leaks.
• Use the leak indicator to check the bottled gas system
once a week and after changing gas bottles.
• At least once a year, the entire bottled gas system
must be tested by a professional.
Hoses that show any signs of cracking, aging, wear or
other defect must be replaced.
Bottled gas components or appliances that show signs
of damage or incorrect function must be examined by a
professional.
GAS PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE
At -15°C, only half so much gas flows (per minute) from
the bottle as at +13°C. This is because gas pressure falls
with temperature.
If, in an 11 kg bottle, there is 2.5 kg of gas and the tempe
-
rature is -15°C, the maximum flow is 350 grams per hour.
At +13°C, it can provide a full 700 grams per hour.
A newly filled bottle also performs comparatively better in
cold weather. At -15°C, a newly filled, 11 kg bottle can pro -
vide around 900 grams per hour. At +13°C, this becomes
a full 1,800 grams per hour.
Gas bottles made of composite materials can only be used
down to -10°C.

BOTTLED GAS CONSUMPTION
Consumption varies with season (winter heating can use
large amounts of gas) and, of course, how much you use
the hob.
The refrigerator does not use many grams per hour, but is
in operation several hours during the day.
Below, there are a few guidelines.
For calculation purposes, a full gas bottle holds approx.
10 kg (10,000 grams).
Hob:
Low flame – high flame, 35 – 110 g per hour.
Boiler: 10 – 400 g per hour (depending on heat output).
Refrigerator: 16 g per hour (380 g per day).
