Aerogen gas
Aerogen gas , actually aerogen gas , also air gas or benoid gas , is a flammable gas that has been produced by means of special aerogen gas generators for household use from the cold vapors of volatile light petrol and air . In the course of electrification , gas lighting was replaced by electrical lighting and therefore aerogen gas was no longer used.
Manufacturing
A quantity of light petrol , gasoline (a type of petrol) or the like was vaporized in a storage vessel by means of a pump or pump and the gas was pressed into the pipes.
use
Since gasworks needed a center for the production of the gas as well as distribution lines to the customers, only a locally limited area could be supplied with gas. In order to have gas available in remote houses and yards, gas generators were developed for domestic use.
