Imibuzo evame ukubuzwa¶

Kungani isomisi sami sezingubo zikagesi sishisa kakhulu ngisho noma ngimisa ukudayela ku-"Air Fluff" noma "No Heat"?¶

Uma umshini wokomisa ugesi ushisa kusethingi ye-Air Fluff (Ayikho Ukushisa), intambo eboshiwe ye-nichrome yesici sokushisisa ngaphakathi kwendlu ye-heater iye yagoqa noma yephukile futhi ithinta ngokoqobo ibhokisi leshidi lensimbi eliphansi. Into yokomisa engu-240-volt ithola ama-volts angu-120 ukusuka ku-Leg 1 (odlula emshinini wokukhetha izinga lokushisa nama-thermostats) kanye nama-volts angu-120 ukusuka ku-Leg 2 (okungena emshinini we-centrifugal switch noma nini lapho isigubhu sizungeza). Ukusetha isomisi ku-Air Fluff kuvula kuphela umlenze woku-1; ngenxa yokuthi intambo yesifudumezi esonakele ithinta ibhokisi lensimbi eliphansi, ugesi ugeleza ngokuqhubekayo usuka ku-Leg 2 (120V) udlule engxenyeni yekhoyili uqonde ngqo kukhabethe lensimbi eliphansi, ukhiqiza amawathi angu-1,300 kuya kwangu-2,800 okushisa okungalawulwa okudlula yonke i-thermostat bese uvula ikhonsoli. Khipha umshini wokomisa noma uphenye ikhefu le-30-amp ILIVAME ngokushesha bese ushintsha into yokushisisa.

Kungani isiqongo sesomisi sami sivutha sishisa lapho ngithinta futhi sinombala osawolintshi okhazimulayo ngaphakathi lapho okomisa kumiswe ngokuphelele futhi kuvaliwe?¶

Uma isici sokushisisa sihlala sikhazimula ngokubomvu-kushisa kuyilapho isigubhu simile futhi okomisa VALIWE, izingxenye ezimbili zesici sokushisisa zihlulekile: ikhoyili yesici sokushisisa ifinyelelwe esizindeni sensimbi esisekelwe phansi KANYE nesidluliseli se-heater ebhodini eliyinhloko lokulawula i-elekthronikhi (noma othintwayo ongaphakathi kwesibali-sikhathi esisebenza ngomshini) uvale nge-arc-welded. Ngenxa yokuthi isiphephetha-moya asiphenduki lapho isigubhu simiswa, umoya onguziro uhamba unqamula ikhoyili ekhazimulayo engu-1,500-to-2,800-watt, okwenza amazinga okushisa angaphakathi kweshuthi yensimbi anyuke adlule ku-400 degrees Celsius emizuzwini embalwa bese ibasela ilinti yangaphakathi. Ungavuli umnyango wokomisa; ngokushesha uphenyise i-30-amp double-pole breaker UYIVALE kuphaneli yakho kagesi.

Kungani i-thermal fuse ye-dryer yami noma i-30-amp circuit breaker ingahambi lapho into yokushisisa ifinyela kundlu yensimbi?¶

Okokuqala, i-30-amp circuit breaker kuphaneli yakho kagesi ayizange ikhubeke ngenxa yokuthi intambo ye-nichrome ifinyele yaba phansi kancane eduze kwekhoyili yokumelana kunokuba kwesokudla kutheminali yezintambo ezingenayo; ukugeleza ngama-ohm angu-5 kuye kwayi-9 wentambo yokumelana kukhawula iphutha lamanje libe ngu-13 kuya ku-24 amps, elingaphansi kwendawo yohambo engu-30-amp ye-breaker. Okwesibili, i-thermal cutoff fuse kanye ne-thermostat enomkhawulo ophezulu kuxhunywe emlenzeni owodwa kuphela we-120-volt oshisayo (Umlenze 1); noma ngabe i-thermal fuse ku-Leg 1 incibilika ivuleka ekushiseni okukhulu, omunye umlenze we-120-volt (Umlenze 2) uyaqhubeka nokuphakela ama-volts angu-120 ebhokisini le-heater eliphansi kuze kube yilapho amandla esikwa kupulaki odongeni noma i-breaker.

Uma i-fuse yomshini wokushisa wami iqhubeka nokuvunguza njalo emavikini ambalwa ngemva kokuyishintsha, yini inkinga yangempela?¶

I-thermal fuse emhlophe engalungiseki kabusha efakwe endlini yokuvuthela isomisi sakho noma isitsha se-heater iyi-fuse enesibhamu esisodwa sokuvikela umlilo, hhayi ingxenye yokunakekela ukuguga nokukhala. Uma i-fuse entsha eshisayo iphinda iphephetha phakathi nezinsuku noma amasonto, unepayipi elivalekile elingamayintshi angu-4 phakathi kodonga/uphahla lwakho elivalela umoya oshisayo ngaphakathi kwesomisi, ikhoyili yesici sokushisa esisekelwe phansi esishisisa ngokweqile i-canister, noma i-thermostat yamabhayisikili eshiselwe. Ungalokothi udlule noma ugxume i-fuse eshisayo ephephethwayo nge-paperclip noma ngocingo; ukwenza kanjalo kususa ukuzivikela kokugcina emlilweni obulalayo wendlu.

Kungani isomisi sami siyeka ukushisisa ngokuphelele ngenkathi isigubhu sisajikeleza ngokujwayelekile?¶

Kokomisa ugesi ongu-240-volt, injini yesigubhu idinga kuphela ama-volts angu-120 (kusuka ku-Leg 1 ukuya ku-Neutral) ukuze ijikeleze, kuyilapho into yokushisisa idinga ama-volts angu-240 agcwele (yomibili Umlenze 1 kanye noLeg 2) ukuze ishise ngokujwayelekile. Uma umshini wokomisa wakho uqhuma kahle ngokushisa okuyiziro, kwenzeke enye yezinto ezintathu: (1) ifuse eshisayo engalungiseki kabusha emshinini wokuvuthela noma we-heater yavuleka ngenxa yokuvala umoya wokukhipha umoya, (2) ikhoyili yesici sokushisisa i-nichrome igqagqeke kahle phakathi ngaphandle kokuthinta indlu yensimbi, noma (3) uhhafu wengxenye eyodwa yesihlukanisi se-carter-pole 30 amafuse) akhubeke, ashiya u-120V ukuze ajikeleze injini kodwa engu-0V ku-heater engu-240V. Setha kabusha i-30-amp double-pole breaker ukuthi IYAVALE ngokuphelele futhi ubuyele kokuthi VULIWE kuqala, bese uhlola i-thermal fuse nento yokushisisa nge-multimeter.

Ngingakwazi ukugoba ikhoyili esomisile ye-nichrome ecijile ngiyisuse ebhokisini lensimbi esikhundleni sokuthenga into entsha yokushisisa?¶

Cha. Uma intambo yokumelana ne-80/20 ye-nickel-chromium seyishise kakhulu yaze yanwetshwa futhi yagoqana nendlu yensimbi, ukwakheka kwayo okusanhlamvu okuyinsimbi iba yinde unaphakade, futhi indawo lapho ingqubuzana khona nendlu yensimbi iyancishiswa futhi igotshwe. Ukuyigoqa ngesandla kungase kunqamule ucingo oluphukayo ngokushesha noma kuyivumele ukuthi ihlehle ibuyele endlini ephansi ngesikhathi sokuqala ngqa lapho ishisa kufika ku-700 degrees Celsius. Ukuhlanganiswa okuphelele kwezinto zokushisisa ngokuvamile kubiza u-$25 kuya ku-$65 USD futhi kuza nezivikeli ezintsha sha zobumba.
