parts through innovative means of technology. Burners are mechanical devices that ignite the gas in a
subdued manner. Gas burners are an integral part of our daily life; however, it is a bit complicated to pick the right one that suits the household. Today, homeowners have plenty of options to choose from. It
has gained immense popularity amongst the public due to the below-mentioned reasons:
- Convenient to use and maintain: Gas burner parts are extremely easy to maintain. The
time taken to activate the device is very fast. It does not require frequent cleaning when compared to
pallet and wood stoves. Users are supposed to thoroughly cleanse each side of a burner soon after usage.
This will be helpful to preserve its pristine condition. - Easy to adjust the heat temperature: All you need to do is to adjust the knob to change
the heat temperature in a controlled and precise manner. It is far more reliable than that of an
electric stove. Today, most of the electric stoves available on the market feature only low,
medium, and high-temperature settings making it extremely difficult to cook food items. - Low operational cost: Gas burners are powered by propane gas instead of relying on
electricity to generate fire. Gas often lasts for a longer duration based on the usage of burners. The
replacement of burner parts is also low. On the other hand, electric and pellet stoves depend upon
electricity to produce fire and it involves a higher operational cost.
As the gas burner does not require electricity, it can be operated amidst unscheduled power cuts The optimal
safety of a gas burner is essential to prevent unnecessary gas leakages and potential fire hazards.
Therefore, users have to pay close attention to the burner parts and make sure there are no flaws.
Gas burner requires ample storage space and is heavier in terms of size. Most of them are not portable
versions, especially the ones that are powered by electricity.
How does a gas burner work?
A gas stove burner features a burner assembly that is interlinked to a tiny gas valve and the primary gas
line. As soon as the knob is turned on, the intake valve slowly opens up while the gas passes through the
venturi tube. The pressure would gradually escalate when the gas seeps through various ends. The pipe would
begin to expand and the pressure is discharged by absorbing the oxygen. The integration of oxygen and gas
would pass through the burner parts.
The burner is a hollow metal disk containing puncture holes. The electric pilot affixed on either side would
trigger a flame or spark to activate the integrated oxygen gas while passing through the holes in the burner.
The flow of gas and air can be increased by turning the knob to maximum heat settings and flame size
increases.
