What happens if you try to use a gas stove with a gas cylinder without a regulator in line?
Answer:
If you don't use a regulator you wont get any gas out - it is a safety feature to protect you. The real question is why do you need the protection of a regulator?
The answers
To stop you blowing up yourself and anyone else -
To protect against gas leaks -
To maintain an even pressure in supply - the pressure changes depending on the temperature and how mush gas is in the bottle
Its the other way around there is too much gas coming out too fast no matter how low you turn the knob and can cause your stove, hot water heater, heater, pool heater to blow up.The things that you hook those up to like BBQ ect have regulators built in..
The cylinder pressure is huge. The regulator keeps it at a steady usable level. And prevents you from getting a surprise trip to the moon. Use the regulator! Believe me.
It's a safety device that Hmmmmm,,,,,,,lets say the line ignites could you stop the fire before it reaches the bottle of gas ????
The valves on the bottle and those connected to the burners are not designed to control that much pressure. You would get a lot more flame then you would want or need.
Too much pressure to start with,The regulator also stops burn back which could cause the cylinder to explode.
Its not that the pressure from the bottle is dropping from use, but rather that the pressure in the bottle is too high for the appliance. The bottle has several hundred PSI, but the stove probably only uses 1.5 or 2 PSI. The bottle pressure can damage the stove and cause a leak or explosion. The regulator brings bottle pressure down to appliance pressure.
u might blow up
You'd probably burn the house down.
The regulator controls the gas flow and thereby maintains the vapour pressure of the liquid gas.
Without a regulator, the full pressure of the gas and its liquid will be released at a tremendous rate as the liquid boiled instantaneously.
You would have a huge explosion from the pressurised gas seeping out too much too fast, use the regulator please. Much safer.
The regulator on a gas bottle or tank isn't there to keep the pressure from dropping it's to maintain a set amount of pressure to the stove.The pressure from the tank is alot higher than what you need so without it you could blow up the stove or cause a fire. Nat. gas stoves require 3.5" wcand the psi from the meter is around 7" wc. LP. gas operates at 11" wc.
Crrrump!
