You will appreciate the advantages of a gas exchange system at the latest when the gas bottle runs out in the middle of the night and you are forced to change the bottle in the dark. For existing gas systems with space for two bottles in the motorhome, it is advisable to use one automatic gas exchange system to install The 2-bottle system changes automatically as soon as the first bottle is empty. As a result, the operation of the gas system can always be guaranteed and supplies can be easily procured.
How does the system work?
Switching gas regulators have two connections for both gas bottles. A marking on the rotary switch of the switching system shows which bottle is currently in operation. The green indicator signals that the cylinder is still filled with gas. Once the bottle is empty, the system will automatically switch to the spare bottle and the indicator will turn red. The now empty, previously active gas bottle can exchanged without interrupting the gas supply. After the change, the switch of the switching system is turned so that the marking points to the former replacement bottle as the new operating bottle. Gas filters also prevent contamination in the gas system and protect both the pressure reducer and the switching valve from contamination from oily aerosols and condensate residues.
What should you pay attention to when converting?
- System compatibility: Make sure that the automatic gas exchange system is suitable for the motorhome model and the existing gas installation.
