What is coal-to-gas conversion?

Abstract: The implementation of "coal-to-gas" in rural areas is a powerful measure to effectively control air pollution, improve air environment quality, improve people's living standards, and transform traditional lifestyles. It is generally supported and cooperated by the rural people. . Nowadays, "coal-to-gas" has entered thousands of households in rural areas, and it is of great significance to improve residents' awareness of the safety of natural gas use. Next, I will introduce to you what coal-to-gas conversion is and the precautions for safe use of coal-to-gas conversion. 1. What is coal-to-gas conversion?

Coal-to-gas conversion is the abbreviation of changing the burning of coal to natural gas. The significance of switching from coal to gas is to reduce air pollution caused by burning coal. Secondly, it can also reduce carbon dioxide emissions, which is beneficial to global climate protection. Regarding the transformation of the scattered coal heating model, each locality should also promote it according to local resources, climate and other conditions. It is not suitable to adopt a one-size-fits-all approach. Only by adapting measures to local conditions can we ensure the long-lasting operation of clean energy and ensure the lasting environmental benefits. play.

2. Common sense of safe gas use for rural “coal-to-gas” users

1. It is strictly prohibited to use two gas sources in the same place

After installing natural gas indoors , the canned liquefied gas commonly used in rural areas should be removed. At the same time, open flames such as coal-burning stoves and large pots and stoves are no longer allowed to be used.

2. Do not place flammable objects near the gas stove

For the convenience of cleaning, some people will add a layer of plastic film to the range hood to keep the surface of the range hood clean. tidy. In fact, this is a very dangerous method. The plastic film is flammable and is located above the flame, making it easy to ignite. In addition to plastic film, do not place oil bottles, wine bottles, condiment bottles and other common kitchen items around the gas stove, let alone paper boxes, bamboo baskets and other items to prevent them from catching fire due to being close to high temperatures.

3. Do not cut off the power to the alarm, and check gas facilities regularly

Gas alarms are a guarantee for effectively preventing gas safety accidents. They will save your life and property at critical times and must always be used. Use with power.

Gas facilities have a certain lifespan. For example, ordinary rubber hoses are prone to aging and cracking. If they are too close to an open flame, there is a risk of being ignited, causing a fire or even a deflagration. Therefore, gas-specific metal bellows or metal armored pipes must be used to connect gas stoves to gas appliances. The length of the connecting hose should not exceed 2 meters. The grease on the surface of the gas stove should be cleaned, and the gas holes of the stove should be cleared. You can use thin metal wire or a toothbrush to clear them.

4. Maintain good ventilation in the gas room (usually the kitchen)

The space where gas is used must have ventilation conditions. Once air leakage occurs, it can be discharged in time to avoid poisoning of personnel and fire. . Using gas in a poorly ventilated room may lead to incomplete combustion due to lack of oxygen, resulting in carbon monoxide poisoning. In addition, places equipped with gas meters and gas pipelines must not be used as bedrooms or rest rooms. If a gas leak occurs, people cannot detect and deal with it in time while they are resting. Any space related to gas consumption must be separated from bedrooms and other rooms, and must have ventilation conditions.

5. Keep away from others when using gas

For natural gas, use a special stove with an automatic flameout protection device. When using gas, do not stay away from the kitchen to prevent the soup from overflowing and extinguishing the flame and causing a gas leakage accident. Keep indoor ventilation when using gas.

6. When natural gas is not used for a long time, the main valve should be closed

There is a term for fire prevention propaganda called "three clears and three passes", among which one "off" is to close the gas main valve. Because it is the last and most critical insurance for gas safety. Once the pipeline damage is not discovered in time, gas leakage can be avoided. Therefore, if there is no one at home for a long time or natural gas is not used for a long time, be sure to close the main valve; if there is a sudden power outage, the main valve should also be closed in time to avoid gas leakage caused by no one at home or negligence when the gas is restored.

7. Gas leaks should be dealt with as soon as possible

If a gas leak is found, make sure the windows are open first, check whether the gas stove and gas valve are closed, and do not make calls at the gas leak site .

At the same time, you should go outdoors in time and contact the gas company staff for inspection. Do not stay indoors, do not turn on and off lights, and do not use open flames before professionals arrive.

If you find a gas leak in your neighbor's house, please do not ring the doorbell or make a phone call to avoid danger. Instead, knock on the door to let them know. If no one answers, call the gas repair hotline immediately.

8. If the ceiling of the gas room is missing or damaged, it should be repaired in time.

Gas is lighter than air. Once it enters the confined space between the ceiling and the roof, it will be difficult to open the door or window. Remove it and there is a danger of deflagration when it reaches a certain density.

9. Gas pipes and gas equipment are not allowed to be dismantled or transferred without authorization

If gas pipes need to be moved, dismantled or modified due to house repairs, reconstruction or other reasons, they should be You should go to the gas company to go through relevant procedures, and have professionals from the gas unit perform the work.

Users are strictly prohibited from opening the gas wall-mounted stove cover without permission for internal disassembly and repair to avoid damage to machine parts or even safety accidents.

For natural gas wall-mounted boilers, it is strictly prohibited to change the gas type used by the product without permission.
