Isn\u2019t it the case that people who want to use the gas system in their motor caravan, caravan or motor home while driving, or who would prefer to leave the gas cylinder open all the time, need a crash sensor, an excess flow device and a gas filter? For most systems, yes \u2013 but not entirely with the Caramatic SafeDrive.<\/p>\n
First of all: The crash sensor is certainly required<\/strong>, even with the Caramatic SafeDrive. This safety device is an integral part of the SafeDrive system<\/a>. But that\u2019s where the similarities with the standard systems on the market \u2013 such as the Caramatic DriveOne and DriveTwo from GOK \u2013 come to an end.<\/p>\n If you use the Caramatic SafeDrive (for single-cylinder systems)<\/a> or SafeDrive PLUS (two-cylinder systems)<\/a>, you don\u2019t need an excess flow valve or a gas filter.<\/p>\n An excess flow device is a piece of equipment which monitors a gas hose. In \u201cstandard\u201d systems, the safety device is combined with the high pressure hose assembly as a single unit<\/strong>. The camper connects both of these directly to the gas cylinder and connects the end to the gas filter and\/or the pressure regulation system.<\/p>\n The crash sensor, which is integrated in the pressure regulation system, monitors the downstream piping system up to the connected gas equipment. This has been the system configuration for most standard systems until 2024.<\/p>\n<\/span>What is the purpose of the excess flow valve?<\/span><\/h2>\n
