What are the methods for adjusting the fire of a liquefied gas stove? How to use liquefied gas stove safely?

The liquefied gas stove is a stove that is widely used in areas where there is no gas. When using liquefied gas stoves, many people will encounter the phenomenon of the fire becoming smaller, which will seriously affect the cooking work and prolong the time to prepare meals. Therefore, when the fire on the liquefied gas stove becomes smaller, it is necessary to adjust it in the correct way. In addition, when using liquefied gas stoves, you must also use them safely!

1. Introduction to liquefied gas stove

The main components of liquefied gas are propane and butane. It is the fuel with the highest calorific value among the three combustible gases. It is filled into steel cylinders in liquid state. It is a popular household fuel with a pressure of 2.8 bar in front of the stove. Usually, the pressure of liquefied gas is high and the nozzle aperture is small.

2. Causes and solutions for small flame of liquefied gas stove

1. When cooking food, overflow may occasionally occur or foreign matter may fall into the fire hole, blocking the burner fire hole and obstructing the outflow of the gas-air mixture, resulting in a small and weak flame. The way to eliminate this problem is to remove the burner, clean the clogged fire hole, and then rinse it with water.

2. The gas source is running out. For a gas stove that uses liquefied petroleum gas, when the liquefied petroleum gas in the cylinder is almost used up, the burning flame will be very small due to insufficient pressure or too much residual liquid in the bottle. At this time, the cylinder should be replaced with a new one.

3. The pressure reducing valve nozzle or gas stove nozzle is clogged. When the pressure reducing valve or the burner nozzle is clogged, the gas will not spray out smoothly and the burning flame will be weak. The way to eliminate this problem is to clear the nozzle with a thin steel wire.

4. The angle valve opening is too small. In this case, you can open a larger angle valve.

5. The air volume is small when the hose is flattened or bent. If the flow is blocked when the hose is bent, straighten the hose; if the hose is flattened, replace it with a new one.

6. When using a gas stove with a pipe burner, the flame may be very small due to the small diameter of the pipe and rust and blockage inside the pipe. You can contact the gas company to resolve the issue.

3. How to use gas stove safely?

1. When using the stopcock to adjust the flame size, be sure to turn it slowly and avoid opening and closing it suddenly to prevent damage.

2. Learn to adjust the air damper and adjust the air intake according to the flame combustion conditions to prevent flameout, flashback and yellow flame.

3. Clean after each use. After using it for a period of time, if you feel that the fire power is gradually getting smaller and weaker: it is likely that foreign matter in the gas or by-products of the combustion of unclean gas have partially blocked the fire hole. At this point, you just need to clean the fire hole with a thin needle. Dirt and liquid that enter the stove may cause bacteria to grow and produce odors, and may cause parts to rust and damage circuits.

4. Gas consumes a lot of oxygen when it burns, so the kitchen must be well ventilated when using it. But at the same time, strong winds should be avoided to avoid causing abnormal phenomena such as incomplete combustion or flameout. After cooking, be sure to remember to turn off the main valve of the gas pipe.
