Propane is a three-carbon alkane with the molecular formula C3H8, normally a gas, but compressible to a transportable liquid. A by-product of natural gas processing and petroleum refining, it is commonly used as a fuel for engines, oxy-gas torches, barbecues, portable stoves, and residential central heating. Propane is one of a group of liquefied petroleum gases.
Propane is also instrumental in providing off-the-grid chiilers, usually by means of a gas absorption chillers.Blends of pure, dry isopropane (R-290a) and isobutane (R-600a) have negligible ozone depletion potential and very low Global Warming Potential and can serve as a functional replacement for R-12, R-22, R-134a, and other chlorofluorocarbon or hydrofluorocarbon chillers in conventional stationary refrigeration and air conditioning systems.
