Hello, I have a 30 pound propane tank and am attempting to figure out what type of regulator I will need for my dryer. Expert Response: To run your dryer with a 30 lb tank, you’ll need the Camco Single Stage Propane Regulator – 200,000 Btu/Hr, item # CAM59013. Although it’s possible that your dryer has its own regulator, so double-check.
Natural Gas Appliance Operating Pressures in WC, millibars, Pascals, PSI or ounces of pressure
A typical operating pressure for natural gas appliances is roughly 7 inches of water column (WC), which is 14.9 millibars or 1743 Pascals or Pa, or about 0.25 psi (pounds per square inch) or about 4 ounces of pressure per square inch.
LP or Propane Gas Appliance Operating Pressuresin WC, millibars, Pascals, PSI or ounces of pressure
A common operating pressure for liquid petroleum or LP gas appliances is 10″ – 11″ of water column (WC), or 27.4 millibars or 2491 – 2739 Pascals or Pa, or around 0.36 – 0.40 psi, or about 5.78 to 6.36 ounces of pressure per square inch.
I’m not sure what size propane regulator I’ll need.
You’ll most likely need the Camco Horizontal 2-Stage Propane Regulator w/ P.O.L – 160,000 Btu/Hr # CAM59333 for your propane tank with fill valve. This will feature a 1/4 inch NPT inlet and a 3/8 NPT exit, and will keep your vent-less heater at a constant 11 inch water column propane pressure.
Is a high-pressure or low-pressure propane regulator required?
Because outdoor gas equipment such as high-heat cast iron burners demand more gas than a low-pressure regulator can give, a high-pressure regulator is required. High pressure regulators control output pressures ranging from 1 psi to 60 psi.

What is a propane regulator’s PSI?
Pressure is the key to propane’s mobility and the capacity to pack so much energy into such a tiny volume of space. Propane is a vaporous gas in its natural condition. That vapor, however, is transformed to a form that is easier to transfer and store under pressure. LPG, or liquefied petroleum gas, is created by pressurizing propane gas below its boiling point of -44 degrees Fahrenheit.
Propane stays a liquid at this temperature or below, condensing a significant quantity of energy into a small volume of fluid. When the temperature of propane rises, it begins to liquefy “This vapor is the useful form of propane, which is transformed to flame and used to heat your equipment. Propane gas expands naturally in this state until it reaches equilibrium, or when it has normalized with atmospheric pressure.
There are four of them “The link between gases, pressure, temperature, and volume is explained by the “Gas Laws.” Propane pressure should generally be between 100 and 200 psi to guarantee that liquid propane gas remains liquid.
Normally, the pressure within a propane tank varies significantly depending on the temperature outside. At 70 degrees, a conventional 20-pound propane tank will have an internal pressure of 145 psi. On a 100-degree day, the same tank will have 172 psi of pressure.
Pressures greater than 200 psi are likely to cause a release from the safety relief valve found on most propane storage tanks. If there is too much pressure in the tank, this device lets propane gas to safely leak out.
Is it possible for a propane regulator to be too big?
A gas regulator that is overly large will allow too much gas to flow into the appliance, perhaps resulting in an explosion. The appliance will work inefficiently or not at all if the gas regulator is too small. Natural gas regulators and propane regulators are the two most common types of gas regulators.
What criteria should I use to determine the gas regulator I require?
What to Look for When Buying a Gas Regulator For more information, look at the appliance itself or the original papers. A data plate detailing the required gas throughput and intake pressure should be present. Make sure you’re using the right kind of gas.
Is a propane dryer preferable to an electric dryer?
When compared to electric dryers, propane dryers have a much larger capacity. Residential and commercial users can process more loads in less time thanks to consistent heating and faster drying periods, saving time and money in the long term.
Is it true that all propane regulators are the same?
Every propane gas barbecue makes advantage of this.
Although all LP regulators are made equal, not all LP regulators are created equal. Regardless of the goal
essentially the same, but different settings necessitate different regulators.
The sort of regulator a grill requires is determined by the propane it uses.
prerequisites for the application
High-Pressure Regulators, First Stage Regulators, Second Stage Regulators, Integral Twin Stage Regulators, and Appliance Regulators are all examples of gas regulators.
