The duration for which a 9kg gas cylinder will last when used with a geyser depends on several factors, including the geyser’s energy efficiency, usage patterns, and the local gas pressure. However, we can estimate the approximate usage based on typical consumption rates.
A 9kg gas cylinder contains approximately 9 kilograms of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). The energy content of LPG varies, but on average, it’s around 46.4 megajoules per kilogram (MJ/kg). So, a 9kg cylinder would contain approximately 9 * 46.4 = 417.6 megajoules of energy.
To calculate the approximate duration for which the gas will last when used with a geyser, we need to know the geyser’s gas consumption rate in megajoules per hour (MJ/hr). This can vary depending on factors such as the geyser’s input rating and efficiency.
Let’s assume a typical gas consumption rate for a geyser is around 12 megajoules per hour (MJ/hr), although this can vary. Then, we can calculate the approximate duration as follows:
Duration (hours) = Total energy content of gas cylinder (MJ) / Gas consumption rate of geyser (MJ/hr)
For example:
Duration = 417.6 MJ / 12 MJ/hr ≈ 34.8 hours
So, a 9kg gas cylinder would last approximately 34.8 hours when used with a geyser with a gas consumption rate of 12 MJ/hr. Keep in mind that this is just an estimate, and actual usage may vary based on individual circumstances. It’s essential to monitor gas usage and have spare cylinders available to ensure uninterrupted hot water supply.
