The lighter exhaust needle plays a key role in improving gas filling efficiency.1. Working principle of the exhaust needleSealing and releasing gas: There is usually a T plug at the bottom of the exhaust needle to seal the gas. When the pressure cap is pressed to ignite, the pry plate will pry the exhaust needle, so that the T plug is lifted and the gas is released. After the pressure cap is released, the pry plate returns to its original position, and the T plug falls to reseal the gas.Control gas flow: The lighter exhaust needle works with other accessories inside the lighter (such as the drainage core, zinc sleeve, sponge, face valve, etc.) to control the flow of gas. By adjusting these accessories, the size of the flame and the filling efficiency of the gas can be changed.2. Methods to improve gas filling efficiencyEnsure that the gas is completely released: Before filling the gas, make sure that the gas inside the lighter has been completely released. This can be achieved by using a tool such as a small screwdriver or a ballpoint pen to repeatedly press the raised circle in the middle of the exhaust needle until the hissing sound of the valve can no longer be heard. This step is crucial to improve gas filling efficiency, because residual gas may occupy part of the space, resulting in insufficient new gas filling.Adjust the flame to the lowest gear: Adjusting the flame of the lighter to the lowest gear can make the gas filling more compact and efficient. This is because the low flame gear means that the gas flow is smaller and it is easier to distribute evenly in a limited space.Inverted and pressed hard: When filling gas, the lighter should be placed upside down so that the outlet of the gas bottle is aligned with and covers the air inlet of the lighter. Then press the gas bottle hard several times, about 5 seconds each time, to ensure that the gas fully enters the lighter.Take advantage of temperature differences: Placing the lighter in the refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes can reduce the air pressure in the lighter. In this way, when filling the gas, the sub-zero gas can be filled into the lighter more quickly and completely. Especially for transparent lighters, it can be clearly observed that the filling speed has become faster.Check and maintain the exhaust needle: lighter exhaust needle Regularly check the cleanliness and integrity of the exhaust needle and its surrounding accessories. If necessary, use a soft cloth or cotton swab to gently wipe the exhaust needle and the air inlet to remove dust and dirt. Make sure the exhaust needle can move smoothly and has good sealing performance.Use high-quality gas: Choosing gas with high refining degree and less impurities can improve the combustion efficiency and stability of the lighter. High-quality gas not only helps to extend the service life of the lighter, but also improves the filling efficiency of the gas.3. PrecautionsAvoid shaking the fuel tank: Before refueling, do not shake the fuel tank to prevent the gas propellant from seeping into the tank during the filling process, affecting the purity and filling efficiency of the gas.Safe operation: When refueling gas, it should be done away from fire sources, and avoid using fire roasting or heating to prevent dangerous situations such as lighter explosion or fire.Adapt to high altitude environment: If you use a lighter at high altitude, you need to ensure that you use more refined fuel and fill the tank as full as possible. At the same time, let the fuel temperature reach room temperature before use to improve the filling efficiency and combustion stability of the gas.The lighter exhaust needle can effectively improve the gas filling efficiency of the lighter by ensuring that the gas is fully released, adjusting the flame to the lowest gear, placing it upside down and pressing hard, taking advantage of temperature differences, checking and maintaining the exhaust needle, and using high-quality gas. Paying attention to safe operation and adapting to different environments are also the key to ensuring the normal operation of the lighter and extending its service life.
