When using a kerosene heater, if you smell a pungent, unpleasant odor, this is usually related to the following reasons:
1. Poor kerosene quality: If the kerosene contains impurities or too much water, it will produce an unpleasant odor when burning.
2. Inefficient combustion: If the kerosene heater burns incompletely, harmful gases and unburned carbon particles will be produced, resulting in odor.
3. Flue blockage: If the chimney or flue is blocked, it will cause poor exhaust gas discharge, resulting in odor indoors.
To eliminate this odor, we can take the following measures:
1. Choose high-quality kerosene: Choose reliable, lightweight and tested kerosene, and avoid buying inferior or expired products.
2. Regular maintenance and cleaning: After using the kerosene heater for a period of time, dirt and carbon deposits will be generated, and it needs to be cleaned regularly with warm water and detergent to ensure its normal operation.
3. Ensure full combustion: When using a kerosene heater, pay attention to keep the combustion full, avoid adding too much kerosene at one time, and ensure that the kerosene can be completely burned.
4. Check and maintain the flue: Check the chimney or flue regularly to ensure that it is unobstructed and prevent exhaust gas from being trapped indoors and generating odor.
By taking these measures, the odor generated by the kerosene heater can be effectively reduced to ensure comfort and safety during use.
