Caramatic ProTwo

The ProTwo (image) consists of an automatic Caramatic ProTwo 7192313 a changeover valve and a pressure regulator. In addition, two LPG cylinders are connected via high pressure hose assemblies. Should either side become empty, the system automatically switches to the reserve cylinder as a result.

In contrast to the two controller systems described above, the DuoComfort is purely an automatic changeover valve. In any event, you require a separate pressure regulator, which regulates the gas flowing out of the cylinders to the supply pressure of, for example, 30 or 50 millibars.

To connect the DuoControl or DuoComfort to the cylinders, you must select two high pressure hose assemblies.

Caramatic BasicTwo

The two-cylinder system Caramatic BasicTwo is especially suitable for use on boats. The special coating means that the salty sea air cannot harm the pressure regulators. The Caramatic consists of two pressure regulators. Both are attached directly to the cylinder and are connected to a hose line.

The changeover regulator uses a rotary knob to control from which side the gas is taken. For example, if the changeover regulator is in “reserve” position, LPG is taken from the cylinder to which the central regulator is attached. If you leave the switch position like this permanently, gas is taken until the cylinder with the central regulator is empty. The Caramatic BasicTwo then automatically switches to the second cylinder.

Extended area of application: You can also use the Caramatic BasicTwo for stationary operation as a two-cylinder system in a caravan or motor caravan. It is therefore not permitted for heating while driving.
