Quick Answer
A CNG reducer is designed to reduce and regulate compressed natural gas for a vehicle conversion system. An LPG reducer, often called a vaporizer-reducer, is designed to vaporize liquefied petroleum gas and regulate its supply for the engine. The two components serve different fuel-system requirements.
How a CNG Reducer Is Used
CNG is stored in the vehicle as compressed gas. A CNG reducer manages the pressure reduction required before the fuel is supplied to the conversion system and engine. The reducer should be selected according to the intended vehicle application, system type and required component configuration.
CNG reducer selection may involve confirming the engine configuration, gas-system type, voltage, installation space and required component matching.
How an LPG Reducer Is Used
LPG is stored as a liquid fuel in the vehicle tank. An LPG vaporizer-reducer changes the fuel into a gaseous state for engine use and regulates the fuel supply within the LPG conversion system.
LPG reducer selection should consider the vehicle application, intended LPG system configuration, connection requirements and compatible components.
Why CNG and LPG Reducers Are Not Interchangeable
CNG and LPG have different storage states and fuel-delivery requirements. For this reason, their reducers are designed for different roles within the conversion system. A project should use components intended for the selected gas fuel and compatible with the complete system configuration.
