Many people use a portable gas burner for lighting coals, heating stuck nuts, soldering, etc. The main criterion for purchasing it is usually only the presence of piezo ignition. But few people know that such burners can also be equipped with a gas generator, the presence of which in the design makes them more convenient and practical.
Why is there a gas generator in the burner, and what does it do?
A burner with a gas generator has a thin tube under a protective casing, which makes a coil near the combustion area.
The liquefied gas supplied to the nozzle first passes through it. This allows him to warm up. As a result, it goes from a liquid state to a gaseous state, and comes out with a stable pressure.
If you turn over or hang a regular gas burner, the flame begins to burn in flashes.
When a device with a gas generator is used, the torch is the same in any position of the cylinder. This is more fireproof and also allows for stable heating, which is important when soldering.
The bend of the gas generator tube can be seen if you look into the burner nozzle.That is, if its presence is not indicated on the package or everything is written in English or Chinese, then the type is determined even visually.
