Uma unesitofu segesi ekhishini lakho, kungenzeka ukuthi sisebenza ngegesi yemvelo, hhayi i-propane.
“I-propane iphatheka kalula, yingakho isetshenziswa kakhulu ezindaweni zokosa inyama, izitofu zokukhempa, namaloli okudla,” kuchaza uSylvia Fontaine, umpheki ochwepheshile, owayekade eyirestaurateur, kanye ne-CEO nomsunguli we-Feasting at Home.
Kodwa faka ithangi le-propane ekhaya lakho futhi ungakwazi ukupheka ikhishi lakho nge-propane, kusho uFontaine.
Ngokusho kwePropane Education and Research Council, ipropane iwumkhiqizo okhiqizwa yigesi yemvelo.I-propane ngezinye izikhathi ibizwa ngokuthi i-liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
NgokweNational Energy Education Development (NEED), i-propane iwumthombo wamandla ovame kakhulu ezindaweni zasemakhaya kanye nasezindlini ezingomahambanendlwana lapho ukuxhunywa kwegesi yemvelo kungase kungenzeki khona.Ngokuvamile, amakhaya aphehlwa nge-propane anethangi lokugcina elivulekile elingabamba amalitha angama-1,000 we-propane ye-liquid, ngokusho kwe-NEED.
Ngokuphambene, ngokwe-US Energy Information Administration (EIA), igesi yemvelo yakhiwa amagesi ahlukahlukene, ikakhulukazi i-methane.
Nakuba igesi yemvelo isatshalaliswa ngenethiwekhi yamapayipi aphakathi nendawo, i-propane icishe ihlale ithengiswa emathangeni anosayizi abahlukahlukene.
"Izitofu ze-propane zingafinyelela amazinga okushisa aphezulu ngokushesha kunegesi yemvelo," kusho u-Fontaine.Kodwa, uyanezela, "kukhona okubambekayo: konke kuncike ekusebenzeni kwe-slab."
Uma ujwayele igesi yemvelo futhi ushintshele ku-propane, ungase uthole amapani akho eshisa ngokushesha, kusho u-Fontaine.Kodwa ngaphandle kwalokho, cishe ngeke uwubone umehluko omkhulu, usho kanje.
"Ngokombono ongokoqobo, umehluko phakathi kokupheka kwe-propane negesi yemvelo awunaki," kusho uFontaine.
"Inzuzo yangempela yokupheka kwelangabi legesi ukuthi kuvame kakhulu kunesitofu se-propane, ngakho-ke kungenzeka ukuthi usujwayele kakhulu," kusho uFontaine.Kodwa-ke, uyazi ubukhulu belangabi olidingayo kukho konke kusuka ku-sautéing anyanisi kuya ekushiseni isoso se-pasta.
"Igesi ngokwayo ayithinti ukupheka, kodwa ingaba nomthelela endleleni yokupheka uma bengajwayele igesi noma i-propane," kusho u-Fontaine.
Uma uke wasebenzisa isitofu se-propane, kungenzeka ukuthi sasingaphandle.Izitofu eziningi ze-propane zenzelwe ukusetshenziswa ngaphandle njenge-grill noma isitofu esiphathwayo.
Kodwa amanani angashintshashintsha kakhulu kuye ngokuthi uhlala kuphi, isizini nezinye izici eziningi.Futhi nakuba igesi yemvelo ingase ibonakale ishibhile, khumbula ukuthi i-propane isebenza kahle kakhulu (okusho ukuthi udinga i-propane encane), engayenza ingabizi jikelele, ngokusho kwe-Santa Energy.
I-propane negesi yemvelo kunenye inzuzo: Awudingi ukuxhunywa kugridi, kusho uFontaine.Lokhu kungaba ibhonasi enhle uma uhlala endaweni lapho ugesi enqamuka njalo.
Ngenxa yokuthi izitofu zegesi cishe zisebenza ngegesi yemvelo kune-propane, uzoba nezinketho eziningi zesitofu uma ukhetha igesi yemvelo, kusho u-Fontaine.
Utusa ukusebenzisa igesi yemvelo esikhundleni se-propane, ephawula ukuthi “amapayipi egesi asefakiwe kakade ezindaweni eziningi ezihlala abantu basemadolobheni.”
“Bheka imiyalelo eze nomshini noma uhlole ilebula yomkhiqizi esitofini ukuze ubone ukuthi ikulungele yini ukusetshenziswa ne-propane noma igesi yemvelo,” kusho u-Fontaine.
“Uma ubheka i-injector kaphethiloli, inosayizi nenombolo ebhalwe kuwo,” usho kanje.Ungathintana nomkhiqizi ukuze ubone ukuthi lezo zinombolo zikhomba ukuthi isitofu sifanele i-propane noma igesi yemvelo.
"Ngokuvamile akunconywa ukusebenzisa igesi yemvelo esitofini se-propane, noma okuphambene nalokho, nakuba kukhona ama-conversion kits," kusho u-Fontaine.Uma ngempela ufuna ukusebenzisa enye yalezi zinsiza, thintana nochwepheshe, kutusa u-Fountaine.Ukuthuthukisa ihhavini yakho akuyona iphrojekthi yokuzenzela wena.
“Kokubili i-propane negesi yemvelo kungaba yingozi empilweni uma kungafakwa umoya ofanele ngaphezu kwesitofu,” kusho uFontaine.
Eminyakeni yamuva, amanye amadolobha, anjengeNew York neBerkeley, aye ashaya imithetho evimbela ukufakwa kwezitofu zegesi ezakhiweni ezintsha.Lokhu kubangelwa ukuqwashisa okwandayo ngezingozi zempilo ezingase zibe khona ezihlobene nezitofu zegesi, ukusetshenziswa kwazo okungaholela ekukhululweni kwezinto ezingcolile futhi kuhlotshaniswa nengozi yokuthuthukisa isifuba somoya ezinganeni, ngokusho kweCalifornia Public Interest Research Group.
Ngokusho kwe-California Air Resources Board (ARB), uma unesitofu segesi, qiniseka ukuthi upheka usebenzisa i-hood futhi, uma kungenzeka, ukhethe isishisi esingemuva njengoba ihood idonsa umoya kangcono.Uma ungenayo i-hood, ungasebenzisa udonga noma ihood yosilingi, noma uvule iminyango namafasitela ukuze uthole ukugeleza komoya okungcono ngokuhambisana nemithetho ye-ARB.
Ngokusho kweCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), amafutha avuthayo (njengejeneretha, imoto, noma isitofu) akhiqiza i-carbon monoxide, engakwenza ugule noma ufe nokufa.Ukuze ube sohlangothini oluphephile, faka izitholi ze-carbon monoxide futhi uhlele ukuhlolwa kwaminyaka yonke kwemishini yegesi unyaka ngamunye ngokwemihlahlandlela ye-CDC.
"Ukuthi ukhetha i-propane noma igesi yemvelo kuncike ngokuphelele kulokho okutholakala endaweni yangakini nokuthi yiziphi izinto ezitholakalayo ukuze zithengwe," kusho u-Fontaine.
Lokho kungasho ukuthi abantu abahlala emadolobheni bazokhetha igesi yemvelo, kanti izakhamuzi zasemakhaya zingakhetha i-propane, kusho yena.
“Izinga lokupheka lincike kakhulu ekhonweni lompheki kunasohlotsheni lwegesi esetshenziswayo,” kusho uFontaine.Iseluleko sakhe: “Gxila kulokho ofuna ukuthi umshini wakho osebenza ngogesi ukwenze nokuthi iziphi izinketho ezifanelana nesabelomali sakho, kuhlanganise nokufaka umoya ofanele endlini yakho.”
