Hi, this is Boran.com. We will share real-time gas information, authoritative gas policies, and comprehensive gas science popularization. Welcome to pay attention to Boran Network and jointly protect gas safety!
Gas stoves
Is it dangerous to fire continuously?
Can it cause a gas flash explosion?
The answer is: Yes!
Case 1
When Ms. Xiong from Shenzhen was cooking at home, the gas stove was never lit, so Ms. Xiong repeatedly twisted the ignition switch to ignite, but the last time the ignition appeared when the spark exploded, and the kitchen became a sea of fire.
Gas deflagration
Ms. Xiong suffered 60% skin burns all over her body, and was only out of danger after the doctor's all-out treatment.
Case 2
A natural gas flash explosion occurred in a household in Shangluo City, the reason was: because the gas stove could not ignite, the maintenance worker continued to fire the test during the maintenance of the resident's home, resulting in a high concentration of natural gas in the air.
So
If the gas stove does not catch fire
Don't light the fire more than once
It's too dangerous
01
Why can't a gas stove catch fire?
1. There is no gas anymore
When there is no gas, the gas stove will not catch fire, and if there is no gas, you can change the tank. If it is natural gas, see if the gas supply is normal.
2. The battery is dead
When the battery of the gas stove is not charged, the gas stove will not catch fire, and if the gas stove battery is used up, the battery needs to be replaced.
3. Poor circuit contact
Many people generally do not pay attention to the circuit problem of the gas stove, but most of the reason why the gas stove does not catch fire is this, when the gas stove circuit has poor contact, check whether the positive and negative poles of the battery box are rusty, whether the line has poor contact, and then remove the rust inside, and accurately connect the line.
4. Overvoltage protection
Many gas stoves have overpressure protection function, once overpressured, the gas stove can not be started, when the gas stove is overpressure protected, the pressure reducing valve needs to be replaced.
5. The ignition needle is dirty
As the saying goes, the kitchen is the place with the most smoke and fire, and it is also the easiest to get dirty, when the gas stove is placed for too long, the ignition needle will be easily stained by the oil, resulting in the gas stove can not catch fire, clean the ignition needle after the grease and dirt before ignition.
6. The line is old and broken
If the high-voltage line of the gas stove is aging, it will also cause the gas stove to not catch fire, if your gas stove has been used for more than 8 years, remember to replace it in time.
02
The gas stove doesn't catch fire, so why can't you try it repeatedly?
The answer to the question is obvious, because when the stove switch is turned on, the natural gas or liquefied gas has been released but has not been burned, then the concentration of natural gas/liquefied gas in the air will rise, and if you try it repeatedly or ignite it with an open flame, it is very easy to flash out.
Therefore, when you use the gas stove, if the stove does not ignite, please do not try repeatedly, let alone use a lighter or open flame to support the combustion! At the same time, please make sure that the kitchen is well ventilated when using the gas stove.
Precautions for the use of gas stoves
1. When the stove is in use, if you find that the fire is out, turn off the switch immediately. Open doors and windows for ventilation, and when there is no smell of gas, find out the cause of extinguishing the fire, and properly dispose of it before re-igniting.
2. When boiling soup or boiling water, the container should not be too full, and no one should wait, so as not to cause air leakage due to the fire being extinguished by the overflowing soup and water.
3. When using, you should always pay attention to the color of the stove. An orange flame indicates that the gas is not fully burned, in which case carbon monoxide is released. The flame can be adjusted by adjusting the damper under the cooktop, whichever is the blue flame.
4. After use, the main valve of the household gas stove should be closed in time.
5. After the use of the gas cooker, it should be maintained regularly to keep the performance intact. The fire cover should be cleaned frequently to avoid dirt blocking the fire hole and causing the stove to backfire.
