Guangzhou Daily News (all media reporter Liu Chunlin) Since the beginning of summer, the temperature has continued to rise, and the hot summer is a season of high incidence of gas safety incidents.
On the evening of July 6, in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, a family of three turned on the air conditioner, closed the doors and windows, and ate barbecued meat with canned gas.
During the barbecue, a family of three was poisoned by carbon monoxide.
When the temperature rises in summer, many citizens are accustomed to turning on the air conditioner and closing the doors and windows when cooking, which can easily lead to insufficient combustion of natural gas and produce a large amount of carbon monoxide.
Guangzhou Gas Group reminds that when using gas to cook rice and soup, be sure to open windows for ventilation and maintain indoor air circulation to prevent unsafe incidents such as gas leakage and accumulation, deflagration or carbon monoxide poisoning due to incomplete combustion.
Be sure to keep indoor air circulation
In summer, it is necessary to pay special attention to keeping indoor air circulation when using gas, such as opening windows and using exhaust fans.
Don't ignore the most critical "diligent ventilation" in order to turn on the air conditioner to blow cool air.
When using gas, be sure to keep indoor air circulation.
Relevant staff of Guangzhou Ganghua Gas reminded that some neighbors are used to turning on electric fans when cooking, but everyone should know that the main safety hazard in the kitchen comes from open flames. Although electric fans blow comfortably, too much air is not only easy to cause open flames The heat spreads and may blow out the flame of the gas stove, so be careful.
Some neighbors who like pasta are good at doing it themselves, but pay attention to the fact that flour is flammable, and electric fans are easy to blow the flour around. If the flour dust in the air reaches a certain concentration and happens to encounter an open flame, it will be dangerous.
So remember to collect the flour.
In addition, flammable items, such as alcohol, curtains, cooking oil, etc., should not be placed above and around the gas appliance to eliminate fire hazards.
After the gas is used, close the main gas valve in time, and check the gas appliance carefully before going out. If there are children or the elderly at home, do not use the gas appliance at will when unattended.
If you go back to your hometown to visit relatives and friends or go on a trip, please remember to close the main valve in front of the gas meter to ensure safety.
The reporter learned from Guangzhou Gas Group that the high temperature in summer will aggravate the aging of the hose, resulting in cracks in the hose and gas leakage.
The user can regularly smear the gas hose with soapy water to check whether the hose is leaking, or replace the special metal bellows for gas. This metal bellows is resistant to high temperature, corrosion, and rat bites. Safe and secure.
It should also be noted that summer is the peak season for decoration, and it is strictly forbidden to dismantle, move or modify gas facilities without permission during decoration.
Qualified units must be entrusted to install and ventilate gas appliances.
Frequently check pipes for leaks
In the old city, there are still many residential users and catering users who use bottled gas. Once bottled liquefied gas is used illegally, gas safety accidents are very likely to occur.
Guangzhou Bottled Liquefied Gas Industry Association reminds that good ventilation should be maintained when using bottled gas, and a range hood or exhaust fan should be installed above the stove.
It is strictly forbidden to place the cylinders horizontally, upside down, heat the cylinders, dump the residual liquid, use the cylinders to recharge each other or change the cylinders to other medium gas.
At the same time, the connection between the gas cylinder and the cooking appliance must be made of special pipes for liquefied gas, and the pipes should be checked frequently for air leakage.
When ventilating, carefully check whether the sealing rubber ring at the front end of the regulator is in good condition when loading and unloading the regulator. When installing the regulator, the handwheel of the regulator must be tightened.
After installation, apply soap solution to check whether there are air bubbles. If there are air bubbles, install it again.
In addition, the ignition method of bottled gas is "fire and other gas", that is, first unscrew the switches on the angle valve and pressure reducing valve, and then turn on the switch on the stove to ignite; the use of liquefied gas cylinders should not be away from people, especially when boiling water, When cooking soup, prevent the soup, rice or water from overflowing and extinguishing the flame, causing the danger of liquefied petroleum gas leakage.
