CATERPILLAR FORKLIFT LPG REGULATOR

The major element of a Caterpillar Forklift LPG Regulator is Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG),which is also known as LP Gas, propane or butane & GPL. In this article we will be mostly discussing about the LPG Regulator. LPG is nothing but some compilation of hydrocarbon gases which is inflammable & can largely be used in automobiles. You can often find LPG in the form of a refrigerant or an aerosol propellant. For forklift trucks or any automobiles, auto gas is the term used instead of LPG. In forklift trucks the chemical composition & configuration of Liquid Petroleum Gas is totally different.

In LPG conversion, the LPG regulator plays the most important role. It is comprised of a regular diaphragm, a regulator vent & a pressure relief valve. Regular vent works as a breather in the LPG regulator which allows breathing in normal operations.

Another name of the regulator is the vaporizer. It utilizes the coolant heat to vaporize the LPG into gases. This function matches the role of the carburetor in gasoline engines. 

Since the forklift LPG regulator does the basic job of converting gasoline engine to operate on LPG, many technical difficulties may arise alike any other parts of the forklift engine. Without regular inspection & periodical maintenance, the regulator may stop functioning which can also affect other engine parts.
