Recently, Quzhou, Zhejiang
A woman is dining at a restaurant
The cassette stove of the hot pot suddenly burst on
He suffered multiple injuries to his face and neck
Eye damage
The woman's husband, Mr. Ye, said that it was his wife's birthday, and the whole family chose to eat at this restaurant.
"The store originally used an induction cooker, and the clerk saw that there were many of us, so they said to help us change to a cassette cooker, which heats up quickly. Soon after, Mr. Ye said, the cassette furnace "suddenly exploded" and his wife's eyes were out of sight.
Mr. Ye said that after arriving at the hospital, his wife had multiple stitches and vision impairment in her left eye, and she was still hospitalized. He said that the doctor said that the damage to his wife's eyes and ears was caused by a shock and would take time to repair.
According to the hospital certificate provided by the woman, the woman suffered lacerations on her skin, eye burns, and second-degree burns on her body.
Cassette furnace is also called portable butane gas furnace
It refers to the filling of butane gas as the main gas, liquefied gas and other gases
It can also be used as a fuel
and non-stationary cooking utensils that are directly heated by fire
Sometimes there are quite a few people who go out camping
I love to use it for cooking
However, cassette stoves seem convenient
But there are no small safety risks
Explosion may occur if used incorrectly
01
On July 9, 2023, an explosion occurred in a restaurant in Guilin City, Guangxi, when customers were eating, and the dishes and chopsticks on the table were directly blown away, causing many customers to be hit by fragments!
02
In March 2024, in Yulin, Guangxi, when someone was camping in the park and using a cassette stove for barbecue, an explosion occurred, causing 4 people to be injured to varying degrees at the scene.
Shijiazhuang fire reminds you·
Although cassette furnaces do not need to be plugged in
It's convenient to use
But whether it's in a restaurant or at home
Pay attention to safety when using cassette furnaces!
ask
What are the main causes of cassette furnace explosions or fires?
1. Butane leakage. For example, if a cassette furnace is burning and suddenly a gust of wind blows the fire out, if the switch is not turned off in time, it may cause a butane leak in the gas tank, and there is a risk of deflagration if the cassette furnace is ignited again with an open flame.
2. The cassette furnace gas tank is damaged. Some gas tanks with relatively poor workmanship have thin tanks, and if they are squeezed or crossed by something sharper, the tank may be damaged, and the leaked combustible gas may encounter fire, and deflagration may occur.
3. Cassette furnace failure. For example, the control valve of the cassette furnace is damaged, and the gas consumption of the gas tank and the pressure in the gas tank cannot be adjusted, resulting in excessive instantaneous air pressure entering the cassette furnace, resulting in explosion or deflagration.
4. High temperature causes the gas tank to rupture. Generally, when using a cassette furnace, there is a gap between the gas tank and the burning flame area, which can prevent the flame temperature from being transferred to the gas tank body. However, in some specific use occasions, if the flame temperature cannot be quickly dissipated, but is transmitted to the tank, the high temperature will cause the air pressure in the tank to increase, which will cause the tank to burst.
ask
What are the precautions for using a cassette furnace?
1. When using the cassette portable furnace, it must be kept away from the external heat source, and when the induction cooker is open, avoid the cassette furnace being too close, because it is easy to expand and cause explosion when encountering the heat source.
2. When using cassette furnace, it is necessary to ensure that the gas tank is used for the first time, check whether the interface is leaking before ignition, and it is strictly forbidden to tilt and invert the tank.
3. The gas in the cassette furnace gas tank is not used up and cannot be discarded at will.
4. Cassette furnace gas tank is recommended to be used up within 2 to 3 years, and it is not recommended to use it again if it is not used for too long.
5. In daily life, the cassette furnace should be regularly maintained to avoid extrusion and collision.
6. The cassette furnace gas tank should be stored in a cool, dry and ventilated place, and the temperature should not exceed 30 °C, away from fire and heat sources, prevent direct sunlight, and be stored separately from oxygen, compressed air and oxidant.
ask
Which scenarios can't be used?
1. Do not use the cassette stove as a heater, or use it in an airtight environment.
2. Do not use under strong wind or hot air, because strong wind will blow out the flame, and hot air will increase the air pressure and cause an explosion.
3. Do not use near flammable materials or curtains.
4. It cannot be used under the scorching sun or in a nearby place with an open flame or other heat source.
