Abstract
This study was conducted to analyze thermal effects for the structure of portable butane gas stoves in accordance with the introduction of safety standard to protect gas accidents that were caused by using oversized grills. The temperatures of oversized grill, cartridge and cover of cartridge coupling part were measured with stoves that heat sink was installed the inside of cover of cartridge coupling part and had different height of tripods. The trend of measured temperatures affected by thermal effects of grill and flame was analyzed. The condition of using portable butane gas stove safely is that the distance between grill and cover of cartridge coupling part should be about 28 mm and over. In contrast, when the distance between grill and cover of cartridge coupling part would be shorter, thermal effects of not only grill but also flame could affect the cartridge directly. In this case, the danger that could cause gas accident would be higher. When heat sink was installed the inside of cover of cartridge coupling part, it was effective on reducing of thermal effects. However, it still had the danger of explosive gas accident of cartridge due to overheating.
