Lapho kufika ubusika futhi amakhaza eqala ukungena ekhaya lethu, enye yezindlela okufanele sikhululeke ngayo manje emazingeni okushisa amahle izitofu. Kunezinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zezitofu ezinobuhle nobubi bazo. Namuhla siza ukukhuluma ngakho izitofu zegesi. Iyona esetshenziswa kaningi emakhaya futhi, yize bekucatshangwe isikhathi eside ukuthi iyingozi kakhulu ngoba inethuba elikhulu lokudala imililo nokuvuza kwegesi, eminyakeni edlule ukuphepha nokusebenza kwayo kuthuthukisiwe.
Ngakho-ke, sizonikezela le ndatshana ukukutshela konke odinga ukukwazi mayelana nezitofu zegesi nezici zazo.
Izitofu zegesi ezikhazimulayo
Izitofu zikagesi zisetshenziswa kakhulu emakhaya ukuhlinzeka ukushisa ngezinsuku ezibandayo. Bekulokhu kucatshangwa ukuthi kuyingozi kakhulu ngenxa yomlilo ongaba khona nokuvuza kwegesi. Kodwa-ke, eminyakeni edlule, zithuthukise ukuphepha nokusebenza kahle kwazo.
Lapho ukhetha ukuthi hlobo luni lwesitofu segesi ofuna ukusifaka ekhaya lakho, uyazibuza ukuthi yisiphi esihle kunazo zonke. Kubalulekile ukuthi ucabangele igumbi ozolibeka kulo. Kumele ibe nomoya omuhle, ngoba isitofu sisebenzisa umoya-mpilo ovela emvelweni.
Izitofu zegesi ezikhazimulayo zisebenza ngale ndlela elandelayo. Banesitofu sokusebenza se-infrared esisebenza kakhulu esibenza babe namandla aphezulu. Bayakwazi ukufinyelela ku-4.000 W, ukuze bakwazi ukufudumeza amakamelo amakhulu phakathi kwamamitha-skwele angama-25 kuye kwangama-35. Njengoba zinamandla amakhulu, zidinga ukufakwa egumbini elinomoya ongcono. Imvamisa ziyadla cishe amagremu angama-300 kagesi ngehora. Ngokubheka ukuthi i-butane gas cylinder ine-12,5 kg futhi eshibhe kunayo yonke ekhona, ayibizi nhlobo. Kuyelulekwa ukuthi ikugcine ikude nezingane.
Izitofu zegesi ezikhazimulayo zivame ukudideka nezinye ezinjenge-catalytic ne-blue flame. Noma kunjalo, ukusebenza kwayo akufani. Izitofu ezisebenzisayo zisebenzisa ipaneli yokuthwebula engasebenzisi umlilo ngqo. Lezi zitofu zinconywa kakhulu uma unezingane ekhaya.
Ngokolunye uhlangothi, ilangabi eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lisebenza nge-convection. Igesi ivutha ezingeni lokushisa eliphakeme, elinokusetshenziswa okuphansi kukaphethiloli nokukhishwa okuphezulu kokushisa. Banokuphila okude okude kunezinye izitofu zegesi
Ngalolu lwazi, uqinisekile ukuthi ungadideki kakhulu phakathi kwezinhlobo zezitofu.
Ngabe izitofu zegesi ziphephile?
Njengazo zonke lezi zinto zokushisa, izitofu zegesi zinezingozi zazo. Zingaba yingozi uma zingasetshenziswa kahle nangokuqapha. Ukugwema izimo eziyingozi kumele:
- Ungasebenzisi isitofu segesi ezindlini zokugezela noma ezindlini zokulala.
- Ungawaxhumi emakamelweni amancane kakhulu (approx. 3,5 square metres), ngoba ngokudla umoya ozungezile sizibeka engcupheni yokuphelelwa umoya.
- Uma amandla edlula u-4650W, igumbi kumele ube nazo ngaso sonke isikhathi ukusakazwa komoya.
- Kungakuhle ukuthi uvale uma uzolala.
- Ungabeki amasilinda okubekisa ezitezi ezingaphansi.
- Kubalulekile ukushiya ibanga eliphephile phakathi kwesitofu nezinto ezingase zivuthe kalula njengefenisha nezihlalo zezingalo.
- Ungayimbozi ngezingubo ngaphansi kwezimo.
- Uma umoya uphela kakhulu, vula amafasitela imizuzu eyi-10 ukuze uvuselele umoya.
- Uthuli yisitha sakho esikhulu. Ngesikhathi sasehlobo, kuhle ukuwamboza ukuze uwavimbe ekuqoqeni uthuli, ngoba kungaba yingozi nokwehla ekusebenzeni kwawo.
Ukukhulisa ukuphepha kwakho, eminyakeni edlule, izitofu zegesi zithuthukise ukusebenza kwazo ngohlelo lokuphepha olusebenza kanjena:
- Banohlelo lokuthi unqume igesi uma kwenzeka ilangabi liphuma. Ngale ndlela sizobe sigwema ukuthi kungenzeka kube nobuthi begesi.
- Uma umoya ungcoliswe kakhulu, ukukhishwa kwegesi kuyanqamuka ngokuzenzekelayo. Uma umoya uphansi komoya-mpilo noma umshini wokushisa ungcolile, kuzokhiqizwa i-carbon monoxide ngesikhathi somlilo. Yigesi enobuthi, ngakho-ke isitofu sizosigwema lesi simo.
Uma izinhlelo zokuphepha zingasebenzi, isitofu ngeke sisebenze futhi. Ngakho-ke, ziphephile impela.
Indlela yokukhanyisa isitofu segesi
Abantu abaningi banokungabaza ukuthi bazosikhanyisa kanjani isitofu segesi kahle ukuze bagweme izingozi. Into yokuqala okufanele uyenze ukuvula i-valve yesilinda yokulawula ingcindezi. Inkinobho yokulawula kufanele icindezelwe cishe imizuzwana engama-20 futhi ijikeleziswe endaweni yayo ephezulu. Ngenkathi sigcina isilawuli sicindezelwe, sicindezela inkinobho yokubhoboza u-piezoelectric kaningana ukwenza ilangabi lomshayeli likhanye. Lapho ilangabi selikhanyisiwe, kungcono ukubamba inkinobho yalo imizuzwana embalwa bese ulidedela kancane.
Uma ngemuva kokukhanyisa ilangabi lomshayeli nokukhipha isilawuli somlawuli kuphuma, yingoba ibhodlela liyaphela. Uma, ngakolunye uhlangothi, ilangabi lingasha, inkinobho ye-piezoelectric ingahle yephulwe noma iqoqe uthuli.
Kubalulekile ukuthi ungasinyakazisi isitofu segesi uma usukhanyisile, uma kufanele usisuse, kungcono ukusicisha bese ulinda imizuzu embalwa ukuze uphethiloli osemabhodleleni uzinze. Lokhu kwenzelwa ukugwema ukuqhuma kwegesi okungenzeka kube khona.
Ngabe isitofu segesi noma sikaphalafini singcono?
Izitofu zikaphalafini zisetshenziselwa izimo lapho kudingeka khona okokufaka okushesha kakhulu, njengasemakamelweni amakhulu nasemaphaseji. Izindawo ezifana nezakhiwo zomphakathi, lapho imisinga yomoya iqhubeka ingena ngeminyango yokuvula nokuvala. Lokhu kwenza ukuthi njalo uma umoya uvuselelwa, ungene emakhazeni futhi.
Kulezi zinhlobo zezimo, isitofu sikaphalafini silungile, ngoba inikeza ukushisa ngesikhathi esifushane. Kuhle futhi ezindaweni ezinjengezindlu ezingaphansi, ama-workshops, ama-mezzanines nezindawo ezingaphansi zokusetshenziswa kwasekhaya.
Inzuzo yayo enkulu ukuthi ayinabungozi bokuqhuma noma umlilo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ayaphatheka, awadingi ukufakwa noma ukugcinwa, awabizi futhi athule. Ipharafini noma uphalafini ngophethiloli otholakala kuphethiloli we-petroleum futhi ushibhile impela. Kodwa-ke, bakhipha iphunga elingaba nobuthi lapho licishiwe futhi licishiwe. Baphinde balayishe imvelo kakhulu, ngakho-ke ngesikhathi esifushane kuzodinga umoya omncane futhi amakhaza azophinde angene.
Ngokungafani nalolu hlobo lwezitofu, izitofu zegesi azilayishi imvelo kakhulu futhi zizinzile ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Ngakho-ke, ekuphetheni, uma udinga ukushisa okwengeziwe ezindaweni lapho kuqhubeka khona ukungena komoya ngeminyango evulekile nevaliwe, inketho engcono kakhulu upharafini. Ngokuphambene nalokho, uma udinga ukushisa endaweni ezinzile futhi evaliwe, kungcono igesi leyo.
Ngalolu lwazi uzoba nakho konke okucacile mayelana nezitofu zegesi nokusebenza kwazo.
