gas cooker

yellow flames again lads.
this one i had british gas out to, rings are blue except when the electric grill is used that is above the oven.

bg only tested without grill on so they only saw the blue flames and said it was ok, is it norm for an electric grill to interefe with the flames on the gas rings

Don't be silly

I did mean it

 

[doyle]

question no matter how dumb it sounds how can electric grill interfere with gas ring? it only occurs when grill is on

 

[doyle]

ps not swingin the lead, it really happens

 

[sime10]

I await any other answers but you got me

 

[doyle]

only thing i can think of is that the heat from the grill is rising backwards beyond the deflector back to the gas rings and pushing oxegon away from the flames if that sounds plauseable.

 

[sime10]

I think you are worrying too much on the yellow bit

 

[doyle]

na trying to learn a bit

my flames go yellow when i open the outside door when its windy - flame becomes unstable due to excess air (i think)

(is this called - flame chill? Mr gas gurus of DIYnot?)

 

[doyle]

keep learing mate, thats all i do , i got lucky and have been working for a Corgi for nearly 3years now - i'll be taking my CCN1 soon and i'm still in college (3 years and counting!!!! ).

You are thinking to much (good), i do it every day, by pursuing the cause of your yellow flame till the death you will have an understanding of its cause and significance that will stick in your head for good and this will become invaluable when you are on your own in the field.

good luck!.

The rings are starved of primary air, thus taking secondary air to burn the gas resulting in yellow flame. Basic combustion.
