Cooker with gas control system

Gas stoves have a high demand among users for ease of use, lower cost, quick heating of dishes, as well as for the speed of cooking. Many users have not yet figured out how the gas control stove differs from other similar products, because in appearance they are almost the same.

Quite often, consumers ask similar questions when buying new household appliances for the kitchen. With a timer and electric ignition, everything is clear, and to find out how the gas control system works, to find out all its advantages and disadvantages, for which it is installed on almost all modern models, this article will help.

Why is this feature needed?

This system allows constant monitoring of the burning of blue fuel: in the event of a sudden flame attenuation due to draft or for some other reason, the gas supply to the burner instantly stops. This prevents leakage, as well as the accumulation of explosive mixtures in the room, which is fraught with negative consequences for users and all residents of the apartment.

The media and television often talk about the consequences of a gas explosion in high-rise buildings, the consequences are terrible: not only the apartment where the leak occurred is destroyed, but also the neighboring ones - people die. To protect users from such a disaster, gas equipment manufacturers also install such protective systems.

Operating principle

Users are primarily interested in the question of how gas control works. The scheme and operation of the system is quite simple:

1. Turning the switch, in some models you need to lightly press it to activate electric ignition. With this action, the user opens the gas supply to the burner, while the automation ignites it.
2. An open flame heats the thermocouple installed next to the burner, which transmits a signal to a valve that blocks or allows gas to enter the system.
3. In case of flame failure or sudden extinction, the thermocouple cools down - the valve closes the channel, the gas leak is eliminated.

The thermocouple is activated almost simultaneously with automatic ignition, the response time of the electromagnetic valve on all models is different. For example, on Lada, Darina, Hephaestus models it works within 10-15 seconds, for Gorenje from Slovenia this interval can be a little longer - up to 20 seconds, and Hansa is fast - 10 seconds and stable burning is provided.

The gas control system is very useful when using the oven: due to the design, the burner is located under the bottom panel of the product, it is not visible visually whether the gas is on or off, and the automatic protection is always on guard. Some users complain about the long response when auto-ignition is performed, but manufacturers of gas stoves constantly take care of safety - this is a pretty effective protection against child intervention, because if a child presses a switch, he will not be able to hold it for the right time, so the burner will not is activated.

The gas control system consists of the following main parts:

1. A thermocouple is two wires of different metal, one end is soldered together in the form of a ball with perfectly round edges, located on the very edge of the flame, so heating takes place in a few seconds. When the ball heats up, a weak electrical signal occurs at the other end, which activates the valve.
2. The electromagnetic valve is in the open position only by a signal from a thermocouple, if there is none, then it closes immediately, blocking the gas flow to the burner.

If any element breaks down, you should not interfere with the design - call the wizard from the service center, everything will be done as soon as possible and with a guarantee.

Individual traits

The gas control function on the burners and the burner of the oven guarantees the user safety in any, even unforeseen situations, timely and reliable shutdown of the gas. The presence of such effective protection solves several problems simultaneously:

1. When the flame is extinguished, the gas supply is automatically turned off, regardless of the cause.
2. The user does not need to be constantly in the kitchen: the system will automatically work if the flame goes out due to a gust of wind from the window or due to liquid spilled during active boiling.
3. Effective explosion prevention: no leakage, no gas contamination and no risk of a dangerous health situation.

The operation of the system on modern models is different, but does not exceed 60 seconds.
