"Kunzima ukuthenga intsimbi ngoku," watsho uAdam Gazapian, umnini weWB Tank & Equipment (Portage, Wisconsin), ehlaziya iitanki kunye neesilinda ukuze zithengiswe kwakhona. "Kukho imfuneko enkulu yeesilinda zepropane; sifuna amatanki amaninzi kunye nabasebenzi abaninzi."
Kwimizi-mveliso yaseWorthington (eWorthington, eOhio), uMlawuli weNtengiso uMark Komlosi uthe ubhubhane usichaphazele kakhulu imfuno emandla yeesilinda zepropane. “Amashishini kunye nabathengi benze utyalo-mali olongezelelweyo ekwandiseni ixesha langaphandle,” utshilo uComlossi. "Ukuze benze oku, banezixhobo ezininzi zepropane kuneminyaka emibini okanye emithathu edlulileyo, ngaloo ndlela beqhuba imfuno yeemveliso zabo bonke ubukhulu. Ukusebenzisana nabathengi bethu, abathengisi be-LPG, abasasazi kunye neentengiso Xa sithetha neshishini, sikholelwa ukuba lo mkhuba awuyi kuthotha kwiinyanga ezizayo ze-24."
"I-Worthington iyaqhubeka nokwazisa iimveliso ezintsha zokunceda abathengi kunye nemarike babe namava angcono kwiimveliso zethu kunye nokwandisa ukusebenza kakuhle," kusho uKomlosi. "Ngokusekwe kulwazi esilufumene kubathengi nakubathengi, siphuhlisa uluhlu lweemveliso."
UKomlosi uthe zombini ixabiso kunye nokunikezelwa kwentsimbi kuye kwaba nefuthe kwimarike. “Silindele ukuba oku kube njalo kwixesha elizayo,” utshilo. “Elona cebiso lilungileyo esinokulinika abathengisi kukucwangcisa iimfuno zabo kangangoko.
UGazapian uthe inkampani yakhe yenza zonke iinzame zokuhlangabezana nemfuno yeesilinda zentsimbi. UGazapian uthe phakathi kuMatshi ka-2021: "Kule veki nje, sineelori zeesilinda zegesi ezithunyelwe zisuka kumzi-mveliso wethu waseWisconsin zisiya eTexas, Maine, North Carolina naseWashington."
“Iisilinda ezihlaziyiweyo ezinepeyinti entsha kunye neevalvu zeRegO ezenziwe eMerika zibiza iidola ezingama-340. Ezi ngokuqhelekileyo zintsha ngeedola ezingama-550,” watsho. "Ilizwe lethu ngoku lijongene nemiceli mngeni emininzi yezoqoqosho, kwaye yonke intwana yokonga iluncedo."
Wabonisa ukuba abaninzi abasebenzisi bokugqibela basebenzisa iisilinda zegesi ze-420-pound ekhaya, ezinokubamba malunga neelitha ezingama-120 zepropane. "Oku kusenokuba yindlela yabo efanelekileyo ngoku ngenxa yenkxaso-mali eqinile. Ezi zisilinda ze-420-pounds zingabekwa yindlu ngaphandle kweendleko ezinxulumene nokugrumba kunye nokubeka imibhobho ephantsi komhlaba. Ukuba baqhuba inani elikhulu leegaloni ngeesilinda zabo, bagqiba Ukugcinwa kweendleko kunokufunyanwa kwitanki ye-petroli ye-500 eqhelekileyo, kuba incinci igcina iindleko eziphantsi kwaye zinokuthi zigcinwe rhoqo ekhaya.
I-American Cylinder Exchange (i-West Palm Beach, eFlorida) iqhuba ukuhanjiswa kwe-cylinder kwiindawo ze-11 zedolophu e-United States. Umlingane uMike Gioffre uthe i-COVID-19 ibonise kuphela ukwehla kwexesha elifutshane lomthamo oqhubeke ehlotyeni.
“Ukusukela ngoko, sikubonile ukubuyela kwinqanaba eliqhelekileyo,” utshilo. "Siseke inkqubo yokuhanjiswa kwe 'phepha', esekho nanamhlanje, kwaye ngoku inokuba yinxalenye esisigxina yenkqubo yethu yokuhambisa. Ukongeza, siye saseka ngempumelelo indawo zokusebenzela ezikude zabanye abasebenzi bethu bolawulo, ebaluleke kakhulu kuthi Yinkqubo engenamthungo kubathengi bethu, kwaye ithintele ubukho bethu kwiindawo ezinkulu ekuphakameni kobhubhane."
I-LP Cylinder Service Inc. (iShohola, ePennsylvania) yinkampani yokuhlaziya i-cylinder eyafunyanwa yi-Quality Steel ngo-2019 kwaye inabathengi kwisiqingatha esisempuma se-United States. eTennessee, eOhio naseMichigan,” utshilo uChris Ryman, usekela mongameli wezokusebenza. ”
U-Lehman uthe ngobhubhane, ukulungiswa kweshishini kunyuke kakhulu. “Njengokuba abantu abaninzi behlala ekhaya kwaye besebenza ekhaya, ngokuqinisekileyo sibona ukonyuka okukhulu kwemfuno yeesilinda zeeponti ezingama-20 kunye neesilinda zeejenereyitha zamafutha, ezidume kakhulu ngexesha lokucima kombane.
Amaxabiso entsimbi nawo aqhuba imfuno yeesilinda zentsimbi ezihlaziyiweyo. “Ixabiso leesilinda zerhasi liya linyuka ngokunyuka, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha iisilinda ezintsha zegesi azifumaneki kwaphela,” utshilo. URyman uthe ukukhula kwemfuno yeesilinda zegesi akuqhutywanga nje ziimveliso ezitsha zokuhlala ngaphandle kwiiyadi zelizwe lonke, kodwa nangabantu abatsha abahamba kude nezixeko ezikhulu. “Oku kubangele imfuno enkulu yeesilinda ezongezelelweyo ezikwaziyo ukumelana nosetyenziso olwahlukeneyo.
Wabonisa ukuba iteknoloji entsha kwi-monitor ekude yenza kube lula ukulandelela umthamo wepropane kwi-cylinder. "Iisilinda ezininzi zegesi ezinobunzima beepounds ezingama-200 nangaphezulu zineemitha. Ukongezelela, xa itanki ingaphantsi kwezinga elithile, abaninzi abaqapheli banokulungiselela ngokuthe ngqo ukuba umthengi ahambise iteknoloji, "watsho.
Nditsho nekheji ibone itekhnoloji entsha. “Kwi-Home Depot, abathengi akunyanzelekanga ukuba bafune umsebenzi oza kutshintsha isilinda esiziiponti ezingama-20. Le kheji ngoku ixhotyiswe ngekhowudi, kwaye abathengi banokuvula ikheji bazibuyisele ngokwabo emva kokuba begqibile ukuyihlawula.” Waqhubeka uRyman. Ngalo lonke eli bhubhane, imfuno yendawo yokutyela yeesilinda zentsimbi ibinamandla kuba indawo yokutyela yongeze indawo yokuhlala yangaphandle ukuze ikwazi ukuhlalisa inani elikhulu labathengi ababekhe bakwazi ukukhonza ngaphakathi. Kwezinye iimeko, ukuhamba kude kwezentlalo kwiindawo ezininzi zelizwe kunciphisa umthamo wokutyela ukuya kuma-50% okanye ngaphantsi.
"Imfuno yokushisa i-patio iye yanda ngokukhawuleza, kwaye abavelisi baye bazama ukugcina," kusho uBryan Cordill, umlawuli wophuhliso lweshishini lokuhlala kunye nezorhwebo kwi-Propane Education and Research Council (PERC). "Kubantu abaninzi baseMelika, iisilinda zentsimbi eziziiponti ezingama-20 ziziisilinda zentsimbi abaziqhelileyo kakhulu kuba zithandwa kakhulu kwiigrill zebarbecue kunye neendawo ezininzi zokuhlala ngaphandle."
U-Cordill uthe i-PERC ayizukuxhasa ngokuthe ngqo uphuhliso kunye nokuveliswa kweemveliso ezintsha eziphilayo zangaphandle. “Isicwangciso sethu sobuchule sifuna ukuba sigxile kubomi bangaphandle ngaphandle kokutyala imali kwiimveliso ezintsha,” utshilo. "Sityala imali ekuthengiseni nasekukhuthazeni ingqikelelo yamava angaphandle kwekhaya. Imigodi yomlilo, iitafile zangaphandle ezinezifudumezi zepropane kunye neemveliso ezininzi ziyayiphucula imeko yokuba iintsapho zikwazi ukuchitha ixesha elininzi ngaphandle."
Umlawuli wophuhliso lwamashishini e-PERC ngaphandle kwendlela uMat McDonald (Matt McDonald) uthe: "Iindawo zamashishini kulo lonke elase-United States zixoxwa malunga nepropane kunye nombane. "Ngenxa yeenzuzo ezahlukeneyo eziziswa yipropane, imfuno yepropane iyaqhubeka ikhula. UMacDonald uthe ukuphatha izinto kwiindawo zokugcina izinto ezixakekileyo akufuneki kuyekwe ukutshaja ibhetri. "Abasebenzi banokutshintsha ngokukhawuleza iisilinda zepropane ezingenanto kunye neesilinda ezipheleleyo," watsho. "Oku kunokuphelisa imfuneko yeeforklift ezongezelelweyo kunye nexabiso eliphezulu Isidingo seziseko zombane zokutshintsha ibhetri xa umsebenzi kufuneka uqhubeke."
Ngokuqinisekileyo, izibonelelo zokusingqongileyo zepropane yenye into ebalulekileyo eqala ukuhambelana nabaphathi beendawo zokugcina impahla. "Iikhowudi zokwakha zigxininisa ngakumbi ekunciphiseni i-carbon footprint kunye nokukhusela impilo yabasebenzi," kusho uMcDonald. "Ukusebenzisa ipropane kunokwenza imisebenzi yangaphakathi yemizi-mveliso ibe yindawo ecocekileyo nenempilo."
"Ishishini lokuqeshisa elongeza ngakumbi nangakumbi oomatshini abasebenza kwipropane kuya kusinceda senze inkqubela phambili enkulu kwipropane," uqhubeke watsho uMcDonald. “Amazibuko eendawo zeenqanawa nawo abonelela ngamathuba amakhulu epropane.Kukho umyinge omkhulu wemithwalo kumazibuko aselunxwemeni ekufuneka ihambe ngokukhawuleza, kwaye indawo yezibuko iphantsi koxinzelelo lokucoca indalo.
Udwelise oomatshini abaninzi abafumene ingqalelo yokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni kunye nokuphucula umgangatho womoya wangaphakathi. "Izixhobo zekhonkrithi, iifolokhwe, izithuthi zombane, iilifti zescissor, iigrinder zekhonkrithi, iipolish zekhonkrithi, ii-floor strippers, iisarha zekhonkrithi, kunye nezicoci zekhonkrithi zekhonkrithi zonke zizixhobo ezinokusebenza kwipropane kwaye ziphucule ngokwenene impembelelo yendalo yangaphakathi," kusho uMike Downer.
Iisilinda zegesi ezihlanganisiweyo ezikhaphukhaphu zisetyenziswa ngakumbi nangakumbi kwihlabathi liphela, kodwa uphuhliso kwiisilinda zegesi ezidibeneyo azikhange zikhawuleze kangako. “Iisilinda ezihlanganisiweyo zineengenelo ezininzi,” watsho uSean Ellen, umlawuli olawulayo weViking Cylinders (Heath, Ohio). “Ngoku umahluko wamaxabiso phakathi kweesilinda ezidityanisiweyo kunye neesilinda zentsimbi ziyehla, kwaye inkampani ifunda ngononophelo isibonelelo sethu.
U-Ellen ugxininise ukuba ubunzima obulula be-cylinder yinzuzo enkulu ye-ergonomics. "Iisilinda zethu ze-forklift-xa zilayishwe ngokupheleleyo-zingaphantsi kweekhilogram ezingama-50 kwaye zithobela ngokupheleleyo imida yokuphakamisa ekhuthazwa yi-OSHA. Iindawo zokutyela ekumele zitshintshe iisilinda ngokukhawuleza ngexesha lokuxakeka kwesidlo sangokuhlwa ziyayithanda kakhulu indlela ekulula ngayo ukuphatha iisilinda zethu."
Wabonisa ukuba iisilinda zentsimbi zihlala zilinganisa malunga neekhilogram ezingama-70 xa isinyithi esipheleleyo kunye neesilinda ze-aluminium zimalunga neepounds ezingama-60. "Ukuba usebenzisa i-aluminiyam okanye iisilinda zetsimbi, xa utshintshela ngaphandle, kuya kufuneka ube nabantu ababini abalayishayo kwaye bothula itanki yepropane."
Kwakhona wabonisa ezinye iimpawu. Iisilinda ziyilwe kwaye zivavanywe ukuba zingangenwa moya kwaye zingabi nomhlwa, ngaloo ndlela zinciphisa umngcipheko kunye neendleko zokuzigcina. “Ehlabathini lonke, senze inkqubela engakumbi ekutshintsheni iisilinda zentsimbi,” utshilo uAllen. “Ehlabathini lonke, inkampani yethu engumzali, iHexagon Ragasco, iphantse ibe zizigidi ezingama-20.
U-Obie Dixon, umlawuli wezentengiso weWin Propane e-Weaver, e-Iowa, wathi iimveliso ezintsha zeViking Cylinders ziyimfuneko ebalulekileyo kwiimveliso zabo. “Iisilinda zentsimbi ziya kuhlala zilukhetho lwabathengi abathile, ngelixa iisilinda ezihlanganisiweyo ziya kuba lukhetho lwabanye,” utshilo uDixon.
Ngenxa yeenzuzo ze-ergonomic zeesilinda ezinobunzima obulula, abathengi beefektri zeDixon bayonwabile ukuba batshintshela kwiisilinda ezidibeneyo. “Ixabiso leesilinda lisephantsi,” utshilo uDixon. "Nangona kunjalo, xa kuqwalaselwa iingenelo zokuthintela umhlwa, iSea World inezinye izibonelelo. Lo ngomnye umzekelo apho abathengi bakholelwa ukuba ezi zibonelelo zixabisa naziphi na iindleko ezongezelelweyo."
