Is your gas stove safe and energy-efficient
Which gas stoves are sold on the market at a higher value
Twenty-five comparative pilot reports on domestic gas stoves issued by the inner mongolia autonomous region association provide an answer。
The safety of gas stoves has been a major consumer concern, and a total of seven safety indicator projects have been tested in this comparative experiment. The results indicated that five samples detected co concentrations in dry flue gases, gas catheters and marking items that did not meet standard requirements。
Among the safety indicators projects, co concentration in air, dry flue gas, fire safety devices are the most critical indicators, directly related to the safety of consumers. Among them, the air cover is primarily tested for the road sealing of gas stoves, which, in the course of use, can cause risks such as poisoning and gas explosions. Fire-closing protection devices ensure that automatically cutting off the air source is an important barrier to the safety of life in the event of accidental outbursts, such as wind, soup or fire failure. Carbon monoxide is a non-colour-free, toxic gas that is released after fuel is not fully burned, and if the carbon monoxide content in the flue gas is exceeded by the burning of gas stoves, excessive concentrations can lead to toxic reactions in humans。
Performance indicators primarily test the fire stability, durability, heat load and heat efficiency of stoves during use, with particular attention to heat loads and heat efficiency, which are important indicators for determining the size and energy efficiency of stoves. The test results showed that the heat load accuracy project for five samples did not meet mandatory national standards and the heat efficiency project for one sample did not meet the stated quality requirements of the product。
In summary, all detection indicators for 19 of the 25 samples met mandatory national standards, 16 of which performed with excellent performance and were rated five stars. The brands are: wah, fang, shin, haile, casady, rainbow, sopra, boss, shigo, siemens, mei, cheong wai, aukoma, colmo, famous, and booker. Of these, nine samples were sold at a price of less than $2,000, especially in the high-high, 2-d brand。

It's safer with gas stoves
1. Selection of gas stoves according to the conditions for use of gas sources
Currently, there are three main types of gas in our cities, namely, artificial gas, natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas, which may vary from region to region. Different gas heat values and pressures vary, different source stoves must not be mixed, and the type of gas source is not consistent with the use of gas, with a high probability of accidents. Consumers must be aware of the type of gas they use in the area in which they live and choose the stoves appropriate to the source of gas。
2. Be careful whether the gas stoves are equipped with fire-closer protection
In accordance with existing mandatory national standards, domestic gas stoves must have a fire safety protection device to protect against gas leaks in the event of a sudden fire out. The test for the presence of a fire-closing protection device is the observation of the position on the inside side of the furnace, thermal electrical or ion-closing protective probe。
It depends on the gas catheter structure
When the domestic gas catheters of gas stoves use a hose connection, the two structures indicated in the domestic gas cookers (gb 16410-2020) (9. 9. 5mm and Φ13mm), commonly referred to as the “paper head” structure, should be matched by a hose-coast secure tightness measure, inadequate gas catheter structure and risk of a gas pipe being released, leaking, etc。
4. Priority for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly gas stoves
Consumers should be aware of the energy efficiency marker of stoves and identify authenticity by scanning the energy efficiency 2-d code. The energy efficiency of stoves is highest at level 1, lowest at level 3, and the higher the level of energy efficiency, the more energy efficient the product is。
5. Observation of product packaging, labelling and appearance to approximate product quality
Domestic gas stoves are subject to mandatory product certification management and are selected to check for ccc identification. High-quality gas stoves typically have the characteristics of solid overpacking materials, complete specifications and certifications, clear print content, solid overall product structure, heavy weight, thicker sheeting, well-processed, smoother edges. Don't buy "three-nil" products。
6. Require product standards for the purchase of domestic gas stoves
After 1 january 2022, the implementation standard for domestic gas stoves was the domestic gas cookers (gb 16410-2020), which was not adopted and indicated, and production and sale were prohibited。
7. Note the life of stoves and components
The life of the gas stoves shall be specified by the enterprise and shall not exceed eight years, the life of the non-metal hoses connected to the stove shall not exceed one year and the life of the stove shall not exceed three years。
