The maximum temperature of the hydrogen-oxygen flame is
approx. 2850
°
C. It is typical that the pure detonating gas flame
is almost invisible and the flame temperature is too high for
many applications. Therefore, the gas is guided through a
vaporizer liquid to reduce the energy density (flame
temperature). With BLQ1800 the temperature of the flame is
reduced to approx. 1800°C. In the same process the flame
becomes coloured which is desirable with a view to labour
protection.
For melting or soldering e.g. of platinum the flame does not
have to be enriched by vaporizer liquid. For these applications,
the vaporizer liquid can be removed from the vaporizer glass.
The high flame temperature which is necessary for the
soldering of platinum can also be reached by the use of water in
the vaporizer glass. The cleanness of the gas is improved
through the filtering effect of the demineralized water which
allows the fast and high-energy burning of pure hydrogen-
oxygen mixture.
1. Open the closing cap of the vaporizer glass (
see illustration
5.4.A
.).
2. Place the clean funnel (delivered with the unit) into the filling
opening of the vaporizer glass.
3. Carefully fill vaporizer liquid into the vaporizer glass up to
the red maximum filling level marking (
see illustration
5.4.B
.).
4. Screw the closing cap back onto the filling opening and
tighten.
5. The filling process is now finished.
