Factors Affecting The Size Of Gas Stove Flame
1. Insufficient combustion supply pressure; in this case, the flame will be weak and easy to flame out. For example, if you use natural gas at home, you can check whether the flame of the neighbor's gas stove on the same floor is also weak and weak. Liquefied petroleum gas users can directly check whether the liquefied petroleum gas valve is used correctly, or directly replace the new 0.6m³ pressure reducing valve. If there is no problem with the pressure valve, you need to check whether the liquefied petroleum gas is running out, and you can directly replace the liquefied petroleum gas bottle.
2. The diameter of the gas stove head, flame, and valve body assembly can affect the flame effect of the gas stove. When producing stoves, gas stove manufacturers will conduct gas suitability configuration testing for each different gas stove model. This means combining and matching valve body assemblies with different parameters, burners of different styles, and fire covers with each other, and then testing the combustion effect. Therefore, the different parameters used by these three components will directly affect the flame effect of the gas stove. Therefore, if you want a high-power gas stove at home, you should choose a high-fire gas stove with a large number of fire cover circles on the burner head and a large diameter of the burning fire cover.
3. There are impurities or foreign objects in the gas stove's gas pipe that are blocked, causing the gas to not flow smoothly inside, which will reduce the amount of gas passing through. At this time, the burner flame of the gas stove will be very weak. Generally, you can use thin soft iron wire and a hair dryer to clean and unblock gas pipes.
4. The use environment can also affect the gas stove flame. Gas stoves require oxygen in the air to support combustion when burning. If the air is not circulated or the space used is small and closed, and there is insufficient oxygen in the air, the flame will naturally become very small. Therefore, when using a gas stove, ensure that the surrounding air circulates.
5. Gas stove pots affect the size of the flame. The flame temperature of the gas stove is transferred to the pot to cook the food. If the shape and appearance of the pot has a small contact area with the flame generated when the flame is burning, it will be difficult to transfer the flame temperature to the pot, resulting in a loss of flame temperature. It gives us the illusion that the flame is not powerful enough. Therefore, when choosing a pot, we must also consider whether the flame of the gas stove is in good contact with it.
6. The gas stove shelf (stove bracket) affects the size of the flame. The flames of gas stoves in different situations need to be matched with stove brackets of corresponding heights. If the bracket is too high, the distance between the pot and the flame will be too far, which will waste gas. If the furnace support is too low, the flame will not be fully mixed with the air, the combustion will be incomplete, the flame will appear red, and the flame temperature will be low. Therefore, the stove racks configured by the gas stove manufacturers are all matching. Do not change the height of the stove rack without permission.
7. The material of the gas stove fire cover affects the flame effect. Under the same style and configuration parameters, the flame temperature generated by a gas stove with a copper fire cover is higher than that of a gas stove with a steel or iron flame distribution cover. This is because the heat dissipation performance of copper is better than the other two materials. However, the influence of the fire cover material is almost negligible compared to other factors.
