According to the city construction commission, a new wave of cold air is about to arrive. What do you know about the safety of gas heaters? Let's take a look
The air is flowing
Full combustion risk is low
The weather is colder and the frequency of the use of gas heaters is increasing. In the use of gas heaters, there is a need to ensure air flow within and outside the bathroom. Oxygen is sufficient in air circulation and the gas is fully burned; however, when oxygen is insufficient, the gas cannot be fully burned, which may lead to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning by excess of the carbon monoxide standard。
Watch out for gas leaks
Emergency response, no panic
The use of gas heaters and the timely closure of gas valves and opening of doors and windows should be stopped immediately if fires are detected during the use of gas heaters or if the smell of a stinking egg is likely to be leaking. At this point, clear fires and switches or shut-down appliances are banned and professionals are informed in a timely manner to inspect maintenance。
The prohibited type is not usable
There's a number for security
Straight-line, flue gas heaters are products of early water heaters whose structure and conditions of use are limited and, if ventilated, are highly vulnerable to carbon monoxide poisoning。
The state has banned the production and sale of straight-line water heaters. If you are still using straight-line, pipe-based water heaters in your homes, please eliminate them as soon as possible
Formal channels are guaranteed
Specialization in installation and maintenance
The quality of gas heaters has a direct impact on the physical safety of users and is assured only if qualified products produced by formal manufacturers are purchased through formal channels。
Installation, maintenance and repair of gas heaters must be carried out by professionals with relevant qualifications and experience. The installation shall be carried out in accordance with the ventilation requirements of the gas heater in order to ensure that the flue gas generated during the combustion process is properly discharged; it shall be performed at a certain distance to avoid the presence of flammable materials or other hazardous articles around the gas heater; and the different types of gas heater shall be installed in a section。
Once the sentence has arrived
Timely replacement is important
According to the state, the sentence for gas heaters and stoves is eight years, which means that if your water heaters look new, they'll have to be replaced in time for retirement
Because, once the life of the heater has been exceeded, it is inevitable that many components will age, leading to reduced water heater efficiency, higher gas consumption, internal ash, low fire, incomplete combustion and carbon monoxide poisoning。
