Can you convert a propane clothes dryer to natural gas if so how?
Conversion of Natural to PropaneYes you can. I purchased a new dryer and needed it to be propane ready...you need to get the proper oriface (which lets the gas in to the burners) changed out. Natural gas oriface has a larger hole than a propane orifice. Check with your local H. V. A. C. companies or with your gas company.AnswerYes you can, but whether you should is another matter. I purchased a new dryer and needed it to be propane ready...you need to get the proper orifice (which lets the gas in to the burners) changed out. Natural gas orifice has a larger hole than a propane orifice. In addition, the regulator must be modified. It may involve flipping an insert under the cap (typical of stoves) or it may require conversion parts packed in the conversion kit (order one specific to your drier). This regulator is part of the piping within the back of the drier. Incidentally, conversion orifice(s) should be included with the drier and screwed to the body in a clip. When you change it over and label the equipment as converted to propane, put the old natural gas orifice in the clip and screw it back onto the body. Put the instructions in a paper envelope and tape to the outside of the body of the drier.Your local gas plumber knows the routine.Check with your local H. V. A.

Can you use propane gas with natural gas logs why not?
No. you have to change the nozzles for the burners and for the stove portion. The replacement nozzles generally come on the rear of the stove upper right or left corner on a small 2" strip. the nozzles are small with 6flat sides to allow tightening with a wrench. to gain access to the nozzles for the range top generally you have to lift the top,remove the burner, unscrew the propane nozzle and attach the natural gas nozzle. the natural gas nozzle has a larger orifice to allow the gas to pass through to the actual burner. the stove is a bit more complicated but can be done by anyone who is semi mechanically inclined.
What happens when natural gas is hooked up to stove that is set up for lp gas?
Hi, Good question you have there and I for one am glad you asked it. Your system will burn way way rich air fuel ratio mixture as that LP gas requires much smaller jetting simply because its heat output per given volume is roughly 3 times that of natural gas. Be careful with any kind of fuel in your home, (especially) LP fuel. I have seen houses blown completely off their slabs and foundations because of a fuel leak matched with some form of spark. ( Usually an electronic furnace ignitor ) NOT ALWAYS,,,, but, you get the point. Have your LP supplier to rejet your furnace and set it up for you. Usually if you are changing over to their fuel they do it at nominal prices and sometimes nothing. Hope this helps: Jimiwane
Do you expect the energy difference between staggered and eclipsed confirmations in propane to be larger than equal to or smaller than the energy difference in ethane?
it's larger
Will water evaporate faster from a container with a larger opening?
Yes, it is correct.
What is the drill bit that i need to convert natural gas to propane at 40000 btu's?
you cannot do this because a natural gas orifice is larger than a propane orifice. you can make a propane jet work for a natural gas jet simply by drilling it approx. 210 % you must buy new jets. usually the company that made you appliance will sell the jet kits for you! HOPE THIS HELPS YOU! GOOD LUCK.

Is propane gasoline?
No. Propane is a gas under normal pressure and temperature conditions while gasoline is liquid. Gasoline consists of larger hydrocarbons than propane, chiefly octane and its isomers.
How is natural gas distributed?
Either through propane tanks that are filled as needed or pumped directly to the home through underground gas lines to a meter on the house. Larger amounts are sent through gas pipelines that run cross country which carries larger volumes.
What size jet should I use in a 12000BTU LP gas burner if I change it over to burn Natural gas?
The surest way to get the right jet size is to ask the original manufacturer of the burner. Not all propane burners are suitable for changing to natural gas, although almost all natural gas burners are suitable for burning propane with a change of jet. The reason that some burners will not burn natural gas is that the flame speed is too low, and flame instability and lift-off can occur. If you cannot get a direct replacement size from the manufacturer, you can start by using a jet which is about 210% larger. As an example, a gas burner using a number 110 Amal jet on propane at 14" water gauge (37 mbar) will probably be OK with a No. 240 Amal jet on methane (natural gas) at 8" water gauge (20mbar). Similarly, a 75 jet on propane equates to a 160 jet on natural gas. After conversion, the air regulator may need to be adjusted to get the flame to stabilise, and the output on natural gas will be much greater than on propane.

Does a large propane tank have more pressure than a small propane tank?
No, and that's exactly the reason for making it larger ... in order to be able to carry more propane around at the same pressure as the small tank, or maybe even somewhat less pressure.
What happens if the opening of your appendix is larger then normal?
I'm don't think I have every heard of that. Since appendicitis is caused when the opening gets clogged I would guess that the larger the opening the less likely you are to get appendicitis. In truth I doubt it matters for anything.

Where are propane power generators sold?
Propane power generators can be found in most larger hardware stores such as Home Depot. They are a common type of generator and as such aren't too hard to find. You can even try looking on Amazon!
