Dimethyl ether stove
Thread Content
What modifications are needed for stoves that burn dimethyl ether? I hope experts can give me some advice!
Just go and ask the gas company: currently, the standards for natural gas stoves are in use (the standards for dimethyl ether-based gas stoves have not been adopted yet)
The stove that burns dimethyl ether and the pressure regulator both need to be replaced!
Dimethyl ether is corrosive to rubber gaskets. If dimethyl ether is blended into liquefied gas at a proportion below 25%, no major changes should be required. If it is pure dimethyl ether combustion, the excess rubber materials should be replaced
Find a stove manufacturer and have them modify gas or other types of stoves to work with dimethyl ether – stoves designed specifically for dimethyl ether. These stoves will look identical to traditional stoves; they use the same type of liquefied gas cylinders, with the same flow rate and calorific value. With slight modifications to the liquefied gas filling stations, they can be converted into dimethyl ether filling stations
Stoves that use dimethyl ether are also available on the market, and they aren’t expensive; they probably cost a little over 200 yuan. There are some minor modifications, mainly related to the pressure relief valve.
It’s basically similar to a liquefied gas stove, but the rubber hoses and pressure regulators need to be modified; using metal hoses is a safer option. As for the pressure regulators, I’m not very familiar with them. They were developed jointly by Shandong Jiutai Research Center and several universities, and have been in use for several years now. You can ask for more information on that
Regarding dimethyl ether stoves, aside from what was mentioned above, the most important thing is to make adjustments to the stove’s air vents. You might want to take a look at Vatti stoves, which can burn dimethyl ether exclusively.
