In daily life in Japan, it is common to find that most urban areas use pipeline urban gas, while suburbs and single family homes are generally equipped with propane liquefied gas. The two types of gas are not randomly distributed, but are divided based on geographical conditions, construction costs, and usage needs.
1、 There are differences in infrastructure construction conditions
1.1 Suitable for laying pipeline gas in urban areas
Urban residential areas are densely populated and roads are well-organized. The cost of laying underground gas pipelines is controllable, with one household and one pipeline for centralized gas supply. It is convenient for later operation and maintenance, and suitable for long-term use in large-scale residential areas.
1.2 Difficulty in building pipeline networks in suburban areas
Residents in mountainous areas and scattered single family villages are sparsely distributed, and the cost of laying long-distance pipelines is extremely high. With a small population, it is impossible to spread the cost and do not have the conditions to access urban gas.
2、 Adapt gas supply characteristics to different residential scenarios
2.1 Urban gas relies on continuous pipeline transportation
Pipeline gas is continuously supplied, suitable for high-frequency gas consumption places such as apartments and shops, without the need to replace gas cylinders, and suitable for long-term stable gas consumption in kitchens and bathrooms.
2.2 Propane gas cylinders have stronger maneuverability
Liquefied gas is stored in steel cylinders and does not require fixed pipelines. It can be quickly used for moving, remote homestays, and temporary buildings. It can also be supplied independently in the event of a disaster, highlighting its disaster prevention advantages.
3、 Different cost and safety management standards
3.1 Clear differentiation of pricing models
Urban gas is charged based on pipeline gas usage, with a lower unit price for long-term use; Propane is affected by transportation and cylinder replacement costs, resulting in higher unit gas costs and making it more suitable for low-frequency gas households.
3.2 Each safety protection requirement has its own emphasis
Pipeline gas focuses on pipeline aging maintenance; Propane gas cylinders require regular inspection of valves and storage environments, and two sets of safety management systems correspond to regulatory requirements in different areas.
Conclusion
The core of zoning the use of urban gas and propane liquefied gas is to choose according to local conditions. Priority should be given to laying pipeline gas in densely populated urban areas to reduce long-term expenses, while dispersed remote areas rely on propane to ensure basic gas supply. The two complement each other and cover all living scenarios.
