The higher the specific gravity, the heavier the gas and so the slower the flow of gas through a burner jet at a constant pressure. A heavy gas with a higher specific gravity must therefore have a higher heat value if it is to provide the same energy output as a light gas with a ...
During most of the 19th century, natural gas was used almost exclusively as a source of light, but in 1885, Robert Bunsen's invention of what is now known as the Bunsen burner opened vast new opportunities to use natural gas. Once effective pipelines began to be built in the 20th century...

SECURING THE BURNER TO THE BOILER (B) Before securing the burner to the boiler, check through the blast tube opening to make sure that the flame sensor probe and the ignition electrode are correctly set in position, as shown in (C). Now detach the combustion head from the burner, fig.(...
The new grate style is a flatter-type grate that covers the burner tube so that grease drips into the pan and avoids the flame altogether. If you’re cooking a lot of high-fat hamburgers, you’re going to get grease buildup in the bottom of the pan. Weber recommends you use a plasti...
Sometimes a gas smell can be caused simply by one of the stovetop burners that have accidentally been turned on without the burner igniting. In this case, turn off the control dials, open a window, and wait for the smell to dissipate. ...
The pilot flame should be just large enough to stay on, but not so large that the stove top becomes extremely hot. Electronic Ignition Electronic ignition surface burners are the new standard. This method of burner ignition uses a spark module to generate the current necessary to create the...
(with both valves closed) unless held in open position for valve 17 and a match touched to the slotted pipe at 31' which will instantly shoot a flame along this pipe to the ring burner 47 and thereby light the pilot also being supplied with gas by the opening of valve 17, and the ...

It is odourless, non-corrosive and non-toxic and is not explosive either as a liquid or a vapour in an unconfined environment – although serious explosions have occurred in the past where LNG vapour has been ignited accidentally in a confined or restricted area. LNG vapour is, of course, ...
