Propane burners, principle of operation and application
Propane burners are widely used in construction and repair work. Without this tool, it is impossible to perform some types of work related to roof repair, insulation, drying of casting molds. Other types of works are crimping couplings, heating metal products, soldering, manual welding, connecting pipes, etc. Small in size and weight, the burner is able to provide a steady flame of a given shape for the required time.
Design and principle of operation
Typically, propane burners consist of a handle, a gas supply tube, a metal nozzle, and a gas supply hose from the cylinder. The gas pressure can be adjusted thanks to the integrated reduction valve. To receive gas, the employee just needs to press the lever. The supplied gas at the outlet is mixed with air and ignited.
The tool delivers a constant and controlled flame flow at the right temperature for the required time. The maximum flame temperature can reach 1500 ° C. The flow rate and flame length are regulated by a fan. A metal nozzle installed at the outlet can control the direction of the flame.
Modern products are easily tuned to the required combustion parameters and equipped with a device for adjusting operating modes. For example, using the standby mode, you can save gas with small downtime. With high-quality and accurate execution, a small and light tool can provide not only safe work performance, but also high productivity and reliability. The propane burners has a mass of 1 to 2 kg and can easily be held in the process of performing work.
Depending on the model, the instruments have a different principle of mixing gas with oxygen. Some burners have an oxygen tank for mixing, and in more modern products gas is mixed with oxygen directly from the atmosphere. Some instruments are additionally equipped with automatic piezo igniters. Also adapters, wind protection, covers and various tips.
Propane (gas) burner is widely used in construction and repair work. Without this tool, it is impossible to perform some types of work related to roof repair, insulation, drying of casting molds, crimping couplings, heating metal products, soldering, manual welding, connecting pipes, etc.
Using propane burners for roof repairs
Levers with a lever design are used for manual welding, heating, soldering of metal and other types of work requiring flame treatment. This is a universal easy and safe tool that is convenient to use in repairing a roof. Thanks to a well-thought-out design and easy operation with a burner, you can independently carry out a whole list of repair work:
- high-quality laying of roofing materials
- heating mastic
- removal of old paint
- sealing joints and holes
- cutting and solder of metal sheets
- reinforcing butt joints
Propane burners can be of various types and are selected depending on the thickness and type of material that is processed by this tool, as well as the type of gas.
Propane burners, principle of operation and application
The use of propane burners for soldering pipes and other types of work. To perform pipe soldering, several tools are needed, including a gas burner, which must be selected to suit the diameter of the pipes being processed and the purpose of the pipeline. With the help of a burner, the pipe is heated along its entire length and circumference. The tool provides uniform and adjustable heating of the metal to perform high-temperature soldering. As a result, the welded seams are characterized by high tightness and quality.
The versatility and functionality of this tool allows you to use it for metal cutting, defrosting small sections of the pipeline, heat treatment. Also other types of work that require heating products.
Propane burner allows you to perform different types of work independently. It is convenient when operating in windy weather. However, it is very important to observe safety rules when using this tool when wearing personal protective equipment and not performing work near flammable substances.
