Electric heater barbecue

A drop of oil creates a spark

On December 3, the Banshan Fire Rescue Station in Gongshu District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province conducted an experiment on the fire hazards of heaters.

In the experiment, firefighters overturned a 450-watt electric heater and placed fresh pork, bacon and shrimp on the protective net.

After the electric heater was turned on, the firefighters used a temperature gun to measure the temperature inside the device. The thermometer showed that one minute after the electric heater was turned on, the center temperature of the heating tube inside the device reached 600°C . In about five minutes, the shrimp, meat, etc. placed on the surface of the electric heater were cooked, and the pork and bacon "sizzled" under the high temperature.

At this time, the oil on the surface of the meat drips onto the heating tube of the electric heater, and sparks are generated instantly .

Firefighters said, " 600℃ is above the ignition point of oil. Sparks are generated when oil and electric heating tubes come into contact . This is a big hidden danger when using electric heaters for barbecues. Once sparks fly, there is a risk of fire. "

Safety Tips

· Never use electric heaters to grill or barbecue just for the sake of novelty or convenience.

· Cover the electric heater with an iron net, or wrap it with tin foil or a baking tray when grilling, but the hidden danger still exists. Socks smoke after the electric heater bakes clothes for 1 and a half minutes

In the experiment, firefighters placed a polyester sock on the surface of the electric heater. After about one and a half minutes, the sock began to smoke and emit a burning smell . "If the heating time is longer, there may be open flames."

Firefighters said that many people think that as long as they stay in front of the electric heater to dry their clothes, they will not catch fire, "but in fact this idea is wrong."

So, is it possible to dry clothes etc. at a certain distance from the heater?

Experiments show that if a wet towel is placed 5 cm away from the sun, the towel will become slightly carbonized after half an hour and will be scorched after an hour .

Therefore, even if you keep clothes, towels, etc. a certain distance away from the heater when baking, there is still a risk of fire .

Safety Tips

Do not cover the electric heater with clothing or other items, otherwise the heat cannot be dissipated in time, which may cause the heater to burn out or even cause a fire.

When using electric heaters, keep them away from sofas, curtains, bed sheets, etc.

Cold weather in winter

Household electricity, fire and gas consumption increased
