Strengthening safety measures for portable gas ranges has been steadily continuing, but the explosion has not been reduced.
Approximately 3.2 million portable gas ranges are produced annually, and it is estimated that about 16 million units are currently being used.
The number of portable gas range explosions has risen to 124 in the last five years, accounting for 19% of all gas explosions. In particular, the casualties are two deaths for five years and 186 injuries.
Such an accident may not have occurred by installing an explosion-proof device in a portable gas range.
Portable gas range safeguards have been equipped with a container decoupling safety device for over 30 years.
However, this device has the problem that the overpressure cutoff is possible, but the pressure rise inside the butane gas container, which is the source of the explosion, can not be prevented.
A safety device that can solve this problem is a secondary safety device using a discharge valve released by the Gas Safety Research Institute in 2009.
The secondary safety device causes the can pressure drop due to gas discharge just before the explosion of the butane can, and can be used with the existing container detachable primary safety device.
According to actual experiments, it is a safety-optimized device that does not explode even when using a portable gas stove on a brioche fire.
Conventional dual safety device technologies include a spring type (Korean Patent No. 10-1346545) and a Countersink Release Valve (CRV) type (Korean Patent No. 10-1292010).
