Что входит в устройство дымогенератора для холодного и горячего копчения?

Устройство, создающее дым, состоит из следующих компонентов:

1. Корпус, который представляет собой цилиндрическую или квадратную ёмкость. Лучшим материалом для изготовления дымогенератора является нержавеющая сталь, но допускается использование иных металлов или сплавов. Это основной элемент конструкции, поэтому на него следует обратить особое внимание при сборке. Корпус должен соответствовать определённым размерам, быть герметичным и вмещать необходимое количество топлива.
2. Дымоход монтируется на корпус и предназначен для отвода дыма от эжектора в коптильную камеру. Этот компонент крепят при помощи сварного шва. Он должен быть перфорированным или включать в себя плотно завитую пружину. С помощью этого элемента можно регулировать подачу дымовой массы в коптилку, при сборке дымоходу нужно уделить особое внимание.
3. Эжектор используется в качестве инструмента для создания необходимой тяги.
4. Компрессор служит для улучшения работы предыдущего элемента и смешивания кислорода с выработанной внутри корпуса дымной массой.

Каждая часть дымогенератора выполняет свои функции и при отсутствии одной нарушается работа всей установки.

90000 How to Make Dry Ice at Home Using a CO2 Fire Extinguisher «Mad Science :: WonderHowTo 90001 90002 Making Your Own Homemade Dry Ice 90003 90004 To make dry-ice, you need to secure a ready source of compressed liquid CO2. How about a CO2 fire extinguisher? 90005 90006 90004 Some fire extinguishers utilize CO2 as the medium for suppressing fires because it’s very clean and does not leave behind any residue. When pressurized liquid CO2 is quickly depressurized, the CO2 expands to a gas, and cools its surroundings.This is called adiabatic cooling. Because the CO2 sublimates directly into a gas, there’s no mess to clean up after discharge! 90005 90004 90010 Where to find one? 90011 90005 90004 I called around to some fire-equipment companies asking about CO2 fire extinguishers. I had not seen these types of extinguishers much and was looking for where I could buy one used, or rent one just for experimenting. 90005 90004 By chance, one man I talked to said he had a 15lb CO2 extinguisher in storage, and he would give it to me for free! If you do not get as lucky, try calling a company that re-charges CO2 extinguishers and ask them if you can rent one, or borrow one for a science project.90005 90004 Most fire extinguishers you see are filled with dry chemical. These are NOT what you want. It has to be Carbon Dioxide. 90005 90004 You can distinguish a CO2 fire extinguisher in a few different ways; 90005 90021 90022 Look for stickers or markings on the side of the tank that indicate «Carbon Dioxide» or «CO2». 90023 90024 90025 90026 Image via wonderhowto.com 90027 90028 90022 Look for a servicing sticker or tag with a hole punched next to «CO2». 90023 90024 90032 90022 Look for a unusually large discharge horn.This is an oversized large black nozzle at the end of the hose. 90023 90024 90036 90026 Image via wonderhowto.com 90027 90039 90022 No pressure gauges is also a good indication. 90023 90024 90004 These types of extinguishers are not typically in public view. They are mainly found in restaurant kitchens, mechanical rooms, and in areas that hold sensitive equipment like computers. Interestingly enough, the CO2 is «food grade CO2». 90005 90004 Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers are usually referred to in terms of pounds.For example, a 15lb CO2 extinguisher is charged with a 15 lb weight of liquid CO2, and this can be identified by markings on the handle showing the full and empty weights. 90005 90004 Operation of the fire extinguisher is the same as any other. Just remove the locking pin, and press down on the handle. 90005 90049 90004 What you’ll see is a forceful jet of carbon dioxide vapor blasting from the discharge horn. The gas is extremely cold, and may take your breath away if you get too close. 90005 90004 Here’s the trick to getting dry-ice… 90005 90004 90010 Trap the cold! 90011 90005 90004 Using a porous cloth material, like a pillowcase, cover the end of the discharge horn and pull up all the loose material. 90005 90060 90061 90004 When you have a good grip, give it a 4-6 second blast! Hang on tight because there will be a lot of pressure pumping into your pillowcase and you need to keep it from blowing away. 90005 90064 90026 Image via wonderhowto.com 90027 90004 Oh yeah, it’s also going to be pretty loud, so warn your family before you do it.That’s speaking from experience! 90005 90004 When you remove the pillowcase, there will be a solid buildup at the bottom of the bag, as well as on the nozzle. Make sure to save that into the bag, then open it up to see what you got! 90005 90004 I found chunks of dry-ice snow, and digging down near the bottom I found enough to make a good sized dry-ice snowball! 90005 90073 90004 Dry-ice is -78C / -109F, so using insulated gloves is recommended. I did not use gloves, and while I did feel a little cold nip every now and again, I found for the most part that if I kept the ice moving around quickly, it did not have a chance to sit long enough to give me a frostbite.90005 90076 90077 90004 The dry-ice sublimates directly from a solid to a gas, so in an attempt to make it last longer, I transferred it to a small bowl to keep it together, and reduce the exposed surface area. 90005 90080 90004 The classic dry-ice experiment is to place a few chunks in a container, and pour some warm water overtop. 90005 90083 90004 This creates a flowing fog effect, that is common at halloween parties in something like a witches brew. The fog can even be poured out to form a cascading waterfall of mist that will flow gracefully over your countertop.The best part is, there’s no mess to clean up! 90005 90086 90004 I put a few chunks in a condiment container and screwed on a lid with a vent hole in the cap. When I shook it up, the reaction accelerated and I got a little CO2 geyser rocketing out of the top! The pressure was enough to make me wonder if it could be used to drive a small motor of some sort? 90005 90089 90026 Image via wonderhowto.com 90027 90004 I tried making a poor man’s version of liquid nitrogen, which actually flash-froze an orange! 90005 90094 90004 The remainder of the dry-ice went into making a nice batch of carbonated ice-cream.Delicious! 90005 90097 90004 Well, there’s how to make «on demand» dry-ice in a portable and «do-it-yourself» fashion. 90005 90004 Saying that, I should mention that it cost just under $ 30 to refill the tank to get about 2 lbs of dry-ice. Contrasting that with the cost of dry-ice at the local grocery store ($ 1.00 / lb) does not make financial sense, but this method is much more fun! 90005 90004 If you have not see the video yet, it’s not too late.

How about 90005 starting a fire with a zip-lock bag? 90006 Just how easy is it, when you’re trapped with no supplies, to 90005 start a fire without matches? 90006 We look at 90005 what you need to make a fire 90006, how to 90005 build a fire 90006, and 11 interesting 90005 ways to start a fire without a lighter 90006.90017 90004 Fire starting is one of the very basic needs of survival. In fact, it was the first thing I learned when I was a boy scout many years ago. Since then I have trialed a number of ways on how to make a fire, but the fun part is not the actual building of the fire, it is knowing how to light a fire, of which there are a number of ways of which some are much easier than others. 90017 90004 When I am outdoors, it might seem like an easy venture to light a fire with matches or a lighter, but for me, I enjoy trying to light a campfire without matches, as not only is it fun to attempt, but if you were ever without matches, it would be nice to have been through the process of starting a fire before, rather than just relying on what actors do in Hollywood movies.90017 90004 There are a number of reasons we need to know how to make a fire, and how to light a fire. Primarily, with a fire, you can have warmth, boiled and clean water, cooked food, light and signal for help. These are just some of the reasons why the fire making skill is on the top list of things you need to know to survive in the wild. 90017 90004 For preppers, outdoor survival is an important skill as you never know when you are in an emergency and need to survive outdoors and in the wild.In that ideal scenario, a box of waterproof matches, some nice dry wood and a bit of dry grass would make the perfect fire, but we do not always have that, especially the first bit, matches. And what if you were in a damp environment like the jungle floor, or wintery snow-covered landscape? Your wood will be wet, you might be without matches, and you’re probably going to freeze to death. 90017 90004 It is in survival circumstances like these that we need to know 90005 how to start a fire with 90006: 90017 90030 90031 Flint and steel 90032 90031 Sticks using the fire plow method 90032 90031 Bow and drill 90032 90031 Two-man friction drill 90032 90031 A soda can 90032 90031 A magnifying glass 90032 90031 A bottle of water 90032 90031 A sandwich bag 90032 90031 A battery and steel wool 90032 90031 Battery and chewing gum wrapper (tin foil) 90032 90031 A 9V battery and steel wool 90032 90053 90004 But first, let’s take a look at what we need and how we can construct the fire so that once we have our initial spark from one of the above methods, we can light our bigger fire.90017 90056 What you need to start a fire 90057 90004 90017 90004 Before we look at the 11 ways of how to start a fire, we need to know how to make a fire by selecting the right fuel, such as wood or anything else we can get our cold hands on. In an urban environment where there’s not so many trees we could use a lot of other accelerants for a roaring fire, but in the woods we need three types of materials: 90017 90004 90005 Tinder — 90006 Tinder is a dry material that ignites with very little heat.When tinder is dry, all it takes is a spark to catch it alight.We use the tinder in a fire as a fuel to ignite less flammable material like wood. You can not just hold a log up to a match and expect it to catch alight, the fire needs the tinder to substantiate the intensity and effect of the fire. 90017 90004 So how do you make tinder for a fire? There are a number of sources of tinder such as: 90017 90030 90031 Tinder from tree bark (like paper), cotton balls, tampon cotton, steel wool and cattail fluff.90032 90031 Dry wood shavings that can be made easily with a pencil sharpener, knife or the shaving off a stick. You do not need any tools do make this sort of tinder at all. 90032 90031 In snow-covered areas use fungus from trees. It holds the heat quite well. 90032 90053 90004 90005 Kindling — 90006 Kindling is what we add to the tinder to give a fire a more solid form. Because kindling is such an accelerant, it will only last for a short amount of time. Essentially tinder is the initial start and then kindling is the next necessary ingredient.90017 90004 It is very easy to gather as it is small sticks and twigs. These need to be dry. Any wood the same thickness as a finger is suitable for tinder. An effective way to make tinder if you are in a damp area is to find a larger piece of wood and break it with rocks or larger pieces of wood. The inside of this wood is dry and will be suitable if turned towards the inside facing the tinder of your fire. 90017 90004 90005 Fuel — 90006 Once we have started a fire, we need fuel to keep the fire going.Basically, everything much thicker than tinder or kindling that burns for longer is a good source of fuel. Often fuel is in the form of thick logs. If you do not have an axe to cut these down try looking for a dead or fallen log and dragging it over your fire. Once you have enough kindling you can effectively use your fire to cut the longer piece of wood into multiple pieces giving yourself more fuel. 90017 90004 Whichever method we choose to use, these three ingredients are necessary in the formation of a good fire.Dry tinder much always be used in all of these circumstances to catch the initial spark and form into a fuel for the kindling to catch alight. 90017 90056 How to make a fire teepee 90057 90004 90017 90004 Now that we have our essentials for what we need to make a fire: tinder, kindling, and fuel, we need to know how to build the fire so that it is able to turn into a self-sustaining campfire without us having to blow on it. After it’s done, all we have to do is fuel it up. 90017 90004 90005 Start with the bird’s nest — 90006 For every one of the ways below on how to start a fire, you need to make sure that your tinder is in a bird’s nest shape (featured image) and catch any spark in the concave part of the nest.There is no point going to all of the effort of rubbing two sticks together if you’re not going to catch the little ember or spark that it causes. 90017 90004 90005 Blowing the spark into a flame — 90006 Once the spark is in there you need to blow gently onto the ember and it will create a flame in the tinder. You now have fire. Before you start any fire making method you should have your kindling set up in a tee-pee (tent) method with a small opening for your bird’s nest. Once the bird’s nest has a sustainable flame, you should be putting it straight into the kindling with the fuel logs on standby.90017 90004 90005 Damp or wet areas — 90006 If you are doing this in a damp, jungle-like area, or you are working in a snow-covered environment you should keep the bird’s nest suspended in your hands while you are working on creating a fire . Once you have bird’s nest alight I would call this a sustainable flame as it is one that will last on a damp flooring. Once you have that bird’s nest alight, you can then use it in the main fire tee-pee. 90017 90056 11 Ways to start a fire without matches 90057 90004 Now that we know what we need to make a fire with the type of wood we need, and a great way to build the base for a good fire, let’s look at some alternative ways to start a fire without using matches or a lighter.This list is broken down into three main sections, which include the traditional primitive fire-making methods, using sunlight to make a fire, and then some of the more interesting ways to start a fire that you might not have heard of. 90017 90002 1. Flint and steel 90003 90004 90017 90004 Flint is a family of stone. A flintstone is not a cartoon, it’s either quartz, chert, obsidian, agate, jasper and a few other less common ones. Essentially, what you want is a stone that is harder than steel.If you’re in upper Canada you’re in luck as they are very common in those areas, but for everywhere else it should not be too hard to find. 90017 90004 If you can not identify any of those types of rock, just grab some of the different variations around you and try them out against the metal you have or a steel knife. 90017 90004 Step 1: Move the stone against the knife in a shaving motion — it will cause sparks. These sparks are small splinters of steel being ‘shaved’ off and are heated by the friction of the shave.If you have a piece of dry fabric dry wrapping it around the stone, it will catch the spark and start warming. Having rotten wood is also a great way to catch the spark that comes from the steel. 90017 90004 Step 2: Shave the sparks into the rotten wood, fabric or tinder bird’s nest. 90017 90004 Step 3: Place the wool, wood in the bird’s nest and gently blow until you have a sustainable flame. 90017 90004 Step 4: Place nest in the kindling tee-pee, you have fire. 90017 90002 2. How to start a fire with sticks (Fire plow) 90003 90004 90017 90004 You have probably always wanted to know how to start a fire with sticks? It’s an essential survival skill known as a fire plough.Fire ploughs are manually hard work but are a very simple and thorough way of fire starting. The fire here is originating from the friction caused between two bits of wood. The primary concern here is having dry wood, without it you’re going to be stuffed as the friction between the wood is meant to light the wooden dust particles that gather in the plow. 90017 90004 Step 1: Get a large piece of wood as a plow board. Ideally this would be a log that has been split longways down the middle. If you are in damp environments a fresh piece of wood split in the middle can also be used as it will be dry.90017 90004 Step 2: Make a divit in the middle of the wood longways down the plow. This will be the path that your stick will run on. 90017 90004 Step 3: Get a firm stick and run it repeatedly through the groove made in step 2. Make sure the stick has a blunt end which you can make by using a rock to blunten the tip of the stick. 90017 90004 Step 4: Once you have ran this enough tilt the plow so that the wooden dust is at the end of your divit, the friction you make from the stick running along the divit will hit the wooden dust causing an ember.90017 90004 Step 5: once you see a little ember or two, blow gently to get the dust alight and place some tinder on it as well. 90017 90004 Step 6: Once you have a sustainable flame place nest in the kindling tee-pee, you have fire. 90017 90002 3. Start a fire with a bow and drill 90003 90004 90017 90004 This method is another way to start a fire with sticks and quite similar to the last, however a little more bush engineering goes into the formation of this contraption. This method is a level above the last one because it involves a piece of string, twine, or other naturally forming rope to make the bow.Shoelaces could be used for this too. 90017 90004 Step 1: Make a bow — it should be 30 inches or 60-70cm long. It should have a little bit of flexibility but it should not be pulled like a bow. It should be more of a slight flex in the wood. Notch your string / cord onto the bow but loose enough so that you can wrap the excess in the middle around your drill. 90017 90004 Step 2: Get a drill — it should be thumb thickness of a soft wood like cedar. Make sure the drill wood is dry. The drill should be about 8 inches long and should be blunt round on one end and blunt on the other.90017 90004 Step 3: Get a fire plank. This would be the same as the one used in the fire plow above. Make a V shape notch in the middle of the plank. At the tip of the V make a small hole for the drill. The pointy end of the drill should sit in the hole, not go through to the other side. This is where the drill will sit and the wood dust will catch around it. 90017 90004 Step 4: Find a rock to hold on top of the drill. Ideally it would be a stone with a concave cup-like section to hold the drill in place as it drills the plank.You could also use the knot of a branch or bone to hold it in place. 90017 90004 Step 5: Place bird’s nest of tinder under the plank to catch the ember when it forms. 90017 90004 Step 6: wrap the cord around the drill once and start moving the bow left and right while holding the top. Use a small bit of pressure on the top while doing this. There should eventually be some smoke coming from the dust collected. 90017 90004 Step 7: When the sawdust pile is smoking, gently lift the drill out place and put a light amount of tinder on the dust and gently blow into a flame.Add the sustainable flame to the bird’s nest. You have a fire. 90017 90002 4. How to start a fire with a two-man friction drill 90003 90004 For the bow drill, two people are better than one. Team up with someone and do the same but easier. 90017 90004 Step 1: instead of using a bow wrap the cord once around the drill and pull left side first the right. The drill should rotate. 90017 90004 Step 2: have your partner apply downward pressure to the top of the drill. 90017 90004 Step 3: When the sawdust pile is smoking, gently lift the drill out place and put a light amount of tinder on the dust and gently blow into a flame.Add the sustainable flame to the bird’s nest. You have a fire. 90017 90056 Methods that use sunlight for a fire 90057 90004 Sunlight is one of the alternative ways to make a fire without a lighter or matches that has been around for a long time. It can only be done in areas that have a strong amount of sunlight and essentially works to start a fire with a magnifying item, whether that be glass, a plastic bag with water, or a way to concentrate the sunlight, such as a soda can . If you are in an area with strong sunlight, this is the best way to start a fire.90017 90002 5. How to start a fire with a soda can 90003 90004 I have not personally tried this but I like the idea of ​​it. 90017 90004 Step 1: shine smoothen then underside of a can with clay 90017 90004 Step 2: The bottom of the can directly towards the sun 90017 90004 Step 3: Place your kindling cloth, rotten wood or charcoal cloth on the point where the sun is reflecting at its strongest from the can. This should be the smallest point of light. 90017 90004 Step 4: Gently blow into a flame.Add the sustainable flame to the bird’s nest. You have a fire. 90017 90004 90191 90192 90017 90002 6. How to start a fire with a magnifying glass 90003 90004 You might have done this as a kid with a magnifying glass, it’s quite easy to do and is has been a cause of some bushfires from broken glass on the side of the road. 90017 90004 Step 1: get flashlight lens or other clear glass 90017 90004 Step 2: concentrate the sun’s power onto your tinder, charcoal cloth or other starter. 90017 90004 Step 3: Once you see smoke, gently blow into a flame.Add the sustainable flame to the bird’s nest. You have a fire. 90017 90056 The Interesting Ways To Light A Fire Without Matches 90057 90004 These are some of the more innovative ways of fire making that some of you might not know about. Some of these I only just found out about while writing this post, and am happy to say that I have them in my repertoire of survival knowledge. I hope you enjoy them just as much. 90017 90002 7. How to start a fire with a bottle of water 90003 90004 Easy.The exact same as above but you want to make sure the bottle is clean and the water is clear. Repeat the steps above. 90017 90004 You have a fire. 90017 90004 90215 90192 90017 90002 8. How to start a fire with a sandwich bag 90003 90004 This one is the same idea as the bottle — but it looks a little bit cooler and sometimes you just do not have a water bottle with you. 90017 90004 Repeat the steps from the magnifying, but with water in the bag. 90017 90004 You have a fire. 90017 90004 90227 90192 90017 90002 9.How to start a fire with a battery and steel wool 90003 90004 With old phones that have a removable battery you can use the battery’s electrical charge on steel wool to cause embers. 90017 90004 Step 1: Remove battery from the phone 90017 90004 Step2: Gently rub the battery against steel wool until red embers appear in the wool 90017 90004 Step 3: apply tinder, blow gently, you now have a fire. 90017 90004 90241 90192 90017 90002 10. How to start a fire with a battery and tin foil 90003 90004 This is a pretty neat hack to know and became popular in an American women’s prison Netflix series called 90247 Orange Is The New Black.90248 It was a regular activity for the women of the show to light their cigarettes with a piece of chewing gum wrapper and a battery. I tried it, and yes, it works. 90017 90004 Step 1: The chewing gum wrapper has to be a foil metallic one. Cut it so it makes the figure 8 almost, with both ends being bigger than the middle section. 90017 90004 Step 2: Attach the ends of the wrapper to each end of the battery. 90017 90004 Step 3: The joining of the paper will create a circuit between the two.90017 90004 Step 4: The paper will set alight. You have a fire. 90017 90004 90259 90192 90017 90002 11. How to start a fire with a 9V Battery and Steel Wool 90003 90004 This is very similar to the phone battery method except it saves you the loss of a mobile phone battery. 90017 90004 The best thing about this type of fire is that you can do this in wet conditions with wet steel wool. 90017 90004 Step 1: Get steel wool and 9v battery 90017 90004 Step 2: Rub steel wool onto ends of 9v battery 90017 90004 Step 3: Place steel wool in bird’s nest.You have fire. 90017 90004 90275 90192 90017 90004 I had a lot of fun putting this list together and trying out some of these just at home. Give them a go and let me know if you found them difficult. While this was more of a fun post, there is a serious side to this, and that is that there are obviously various ways you can provide yourself with the necessary warmth of a fire when it comes to survival as well as signalling for help. 90017 90004 In most occasions you would have your bug-out bag or a survival kit with the necessities.In that kit you should have some sort of fire starter.
