Help: Loud noise from a water gas stove
Thread Content
Last night, it was first noticed on the second floor of the water gas area； The leakage was severe (it seemed to be coming from the insulation layer of the tank); on the first floor, I saw occasional sparks falling from the western ash box on the second floor (I’m sure the explosion-proof cover of that ash box wasn’t damaged), and soon after that, an explosion occurred. Upon inspection, the explosion-proof cover of the gray box was damaged, a large piece of the insulation layer on the cylinder body had been torn away, and the surrounding instruments and cables were burned. Let’s all work together to analyze the reasons: where did Mars come from, and at which stage did it explode? This morning, I turned on the furnace again; I blew in some steam before starting it up, and it made a noise right away, but it wasn’t too severe. Then I wanted to take samples through a cycle process, and during each of those three cycles, it made a noise once. I know the reason; it’s probably due to high oxygen levels, and it happens every time during the cleaning phase. This post was last edited by lijinjun109 on 2008-1-21 20:06.]
Could you explain the situation in more detail? This post was last edited by limingshuguang on 2007-12-14 08:30.]
In my opinion, it’s impossible that it’s a leak in the water jacket; it’s more likely that there’s a crack in the wall of the cast-iron gas stove in the area where there is no water jacket, causing a leak. If there is a leak in the gas stove’s wall, the leaking gas can catch fire without any ignition source.
Thank you, it might be a leak in the weld
The chemical industry is indeed a bit… Well, it’s not easy to make money there
Upon post-analysis, it was found that there was a leak at the gap in the explosion-proof cover on the gray box; the pressure around that area was high and the flow rate was fast, so it seemed as though there was no gas leakage there. When the gas reached the insulation layer of the cylinder, the flow rate decreased and the gas became visible, giving the impression that a large amount of gas was leaking from the cylinder’s insulation layer. The flames also emerged from this area, and small particles of red carbon were blown out through the gaps; upon coming into contact with gas within its explosive range, they immediately ignited. :handshake :handshake :handshake
To protect oneself from harm is a prerequisite; take care, OP
Thank you all for your concern; I am truly grateful:handshake :handshake
During the operation of a gas stove, it is crucial to conduct regular inspections. If there are any problems, the furnace should be stopped for inspection promptly; it’s important to detect and address issues early, rather than waiting until they become more serious, as that is very dangerous.
