LPG for Endo Gas Generation

Generated through the partial combustion of industrial LPG, endo gas offers a reliable and efficient solution. Let’s explores the intricacies of the benefits of using industrial LPG for endo gas generation.

What is Endo Gas?

Endo gas or endothermic gas is a protective gas mixture (combination of gases used to protect the metal from other gases by creating a protective atmosphere) primarily consisting of gases hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon monoxide. It is generated through incomplete combustion using LPG, propane and natural gas as a fuel source. The hydrogen and carbon monoxide act as reducing agents preventing oxidation on the surfaces of the metal that comes in contact with endo gas.

Why LPG for Endo Gas generation?

LPG has gained popularity as the best industrial fuel for various applications across diverse industries. Here’s why LPG is a perfect solution for Endo Gas generation:

• LPG maintains a stable and consistent composition, which helps in creating controlled and reliable atmosphere.
• High calorific value of LPG helps achieve elevated temperatures required.
• LPG burns cleanly with minimal impurities, such as sulphur or particulates.
• LPG mixes well with air at all temperatures, providing a uniform charge for combustion.
• LPG contributing to the overall efficiency and economic viability over other fuels.
• LPG is readily available and relatively easy to handle and store, making it a convenient fuel source.

The advantages of SUPERGAS LPG for endo gas generation extend beyond its high heat output, check out our customer impact study, that highlights improved efficiency and enhanced product quality.

Here are some of its common applications: 

• Endo gas acts as a carrier gas introducing carbon onto metal’s surface to increase hardness and wear resistance, this process is called carburising.
• Carbonitriding as combination of carburising and nitriding where endo gas carries both carbon and nitrogen to enhance both hardness and fatigue resistance.
• It also helps prevent oxidation on the metal surface during heating and cooling ensuring consistent hardness.
• Sintering is the process of creating solid metals from powdered metals, this process involves heating at high temperatures below melting point to help the particles bond together. Endo gas is used in sintering furnace to promote better bonding and densification during the process.
• During heat treatment, the protective atmosphere created by endo gas prevents the loss of carbon from the steel's surface, ensuring that the restoration process is efficient and effective.
• It also helps to achieve a uniform distribution of carbon across the surface of the steel component, resulting in consistent mechanical properties.
