Recommended Regulator For A Food Truck Using 340,000BTU's An Hour

Question

Question:

Good afternoon, I am running a food truck with commercial equipment, Fryer pulling 170,000 BTUH 4 burners that pull 22,000 each 88,000 BTUH if all 4 are on and 36” griddle pulling 90,000. So a possibility of 340,000 BTUH off a 100lb LP tank, what size regulator is recommended? Thank you!

For that large of a pull you would need to use a regulator like the # 108220 or # 108221 depending on your setup. Both of these regulators have a 400,000btu/hr rating to handle your 340,000btu demand. The main thing to remember when installing the regulator is to make sure that the vents on facing down so you could need the vertical # 108220 or the horizontal # 108221 to achieve this.

What you need will depend on what you have. For a regulator, I recommend the Camco Horizontal 2-Stage Regulator, Item #CAM59333, or the Camco Vertical 2-Stage Regulator, Item #CAM59313. If your 100 gallon tank is an ASME that is generally installed…

You can use the Camco Single Stage Propane Regulator - 200,000 Btu/Hr #CAM59013, which is a fairly standard replacement regulator and will work well to replace your KLI 9000 since it is designed for low pressure items as it maintains a constant…

Without knowing what regulator you have now, it isn't possible for me to tell you if you need to switch, but for a regulator that will work with a 100 lb propane tank go with the Camco Horizontal 2-Stage Propane Regulator w/ P.O.L - 160,000…

Check the deep fryer literature or the fryer itself to find the propane pressure required by the fryer. If it is 11" w.c. you could use #CAM59013. Regarding a hose it is going to depend on the type of fitting that is on the fryer. Hose…

Actually, the Camco #CAM59013 that you'd looked at would be the perfect replacement for your application. This is a single stage low pressure regulator that's perfect for appliances such as the stove/heater you mentioned. I've…

Answer 9

A single stage regulator can work just fine like with the Camco Regulator part #CAM59013 that you referenced. But if there's a very large distance between the tank and the appliances that is when a dual stage regulator makes the most sense…

Yes. The U-Post RV LP Gas Regulator Bracket - Qty 1 #37207-30405 is the correct mounting bracket for both the #37207-31525 and #37207-30395.

Answer 11

You can use the same regulator that you have with a 30 lb or 100 lb tank. However, some high pressure appliances do require a 2 stage regulator like part #108221 if you are currently using a single stage regulator like part #CAM59013 and your…

To hook up two 100 pound propane tanks to your trailer, I would recommend the JR Products #37207-30395 Propane Regulator With Automatic Changeover. This part can supply 345,000 BTU of gas. The maximum inlet pressure is 100 PSI. I would just inventory…
