13. Fuel consumption
13.1. Fuel consumption if gas bottles are being used
With a gas bottle with a content of 11 kg approx. 1,000 flame effects with a duration of 0.5 seconds
and a height of 5 m can be generated. With a 5 kg bottle approx. 450 of these effects are possible.
13.2. Fuel consumption if gas cartridges are being used
The fuel consumption depends mainly on the vapor pressure in the gas cartridges which depends on
the temperature and also the nozzle size has an effect on the amount of fuel consumed.
The following spreadsheet should give you approximate guideline values. The information in seconds
refers to the approximate total burning duration with two cartridges with different cartridge
temperatures. The burning duration has been determined by using cartridges with a content of 330 g
or respectively 600 ml.

30 seconds would be for example 100 short flame effects with 0.3 seconds each or 60 flame effects
with 0.5 seconds each or 30 flame columns with a valve opening duration of 1.0 seconds.
14. Tilting the G-Flame
In general the tilted operation of the G-Flame is possible. We recommend a maximum tilt angle of 45°
in conjunction with gas bottles and a maximum tilt angle of 75° when gas cartridges are being used.
If gas cartridges are installed the liquefied phase is being used und due to that the flames follow better
the tilt angle because the influence of the thermal lift on the shape of the flame is significantly lower in
this case.
When the tilt angle is more than 30° the tilt sensor has to be turned of in the menu of the device. When
doing so please note that the device will not close the electromagnetic valves e.g. if it is turned over. In
this case it is so much more important to ensure that the G-Flame is securely mounted and that your
personnel is constantly supervising that all devices are in correct position.
If the G-Flame is used with gas cartridges it can also be tilted with an angle of e.g. 90°, 135° or 180°
but in these cases the problem exists that the fuel can no longer be used completely or partly in the
liquefied phase. Due to that for example a short hose and an external cartridge holder is necessary to
enable this operation. If you have a demand for this please contact us so that we can provide a
customized solution.
