    what are the buttons for...
    the first one on the left for firing, and the rest?

    thanks a lot!

    Hello, I have a question, do all these types of stoves have catalytic converters? And what do you think about the Ravanson LD-168N model?

    Hello, if you want to know more about how gas stoves for cylinders with a catalyst on the website you can read such things as The main part of the stove is the housing made of good quality materials resistant to mechanical damage and the effects of high temperatures and by-products of the combustion process. The housing has a mesh on the front - often decorative, and on the back there is a place for a gas cylinder. Wheels are attached to the housing for easy transport of the stove.

    The stove is equipped with a flexible rubber hose, a reducer and a carbon dioxide concentration sensor in the air. It is worth paying attention to this last element - not all stoves are equipped with detectors. Thanks to the sensor, the fuel supply is cut off when the CO2 standards in the air are exceeded.

    Are you sure
    Or just a bad translation
    Is it rather about CARBON MONOXIDE?
    So I'm asking out of curiosity :-)

    Selected from the manual ... The device is equipped with thermoelectric protection. If the combustion process is interrupted, it cuts off the gas supply, preventing the excessive accumulation of harmful carbon dioxide in the room.
    So simply a thermocouple, the flame goes out, it cuts off the gas supply
    Or maybe I don't understand something.

    Overall, both are dangerous. Only a little carbon monoxide is enough, and there must be a lot of carbon dioxide.
    Carbon monoxide is toxic (strong binding to hemoglobin) TWA 20ppm (0.002%) TWA 100ppm (0.01%)
    Carbon dioxide displaces oxygen and accumulates in the lungs, preventing breathing (poor binding to hemoglobin) TWA 5000ppm (0.5%) TWA 15000 (1.5%)

    Also, not only carbon monoxide is a threat, but in this case I would prefer devices powered by electricity.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the use of catalytic gas stoves for room heating during winter, focusing on safety concerns, exhaust gas emissions, and gas cylinder efficiency. Participants express caution regarding the use of such stoves in enclosed spaces due to the consumption of oxygen and the production of water vapor. Ventilation is emphasized as crucial for safety, with recommendations for achieving adequate air exchange. Users share personal experiences with various models, noting issues like clogged catalytic converters and gas consumption rates. The Agni and DeLonghi brands are mentioned, with users reporting gas usage of approximately one cylinder per week for intermittent heating. Concerns about carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide emissions are raised, advocating for electric heating as a safer alternative.
