Notes when using heating equipment in the cold season

On cold, cold days, the use of heating equipment is necessary, but how to use it effectively and safely for users is the most important issue.

We should know if improperly used indoor heating equipment could cause accidents that could be carbon poisoning due to honeycomb coal heating in a closed home; fire burns; children die from carrying motorcycles for a long time outdoors; children suffocate by wearing many warm clothes .

Earlier, a man living in Henan Province, China, was burned after the heating lamp in the bathroom suddenly exploded. A few minutes after turning on the heating lamp and entering the bathroom, an explosion came out, the lights on the heating lights suddenly exploded.

The case has shown that the use of overloaded heating devices will cause much damage to users.

Here are a few notes when using household heating devices in the cold season.

Indoor heating equipment that is not used properly may cause accidents.

Maybe poisoning CO ₂

The use of coal, wood, gas or gasoline-powered stoves can easily lead to unfortunate circumstances such as carbon monoxide poisoning (CO).

Specifically, when burning coal, since coal is not burned completely, CO will form. If burning in a narrow, closed room, poisoning will occur very quickly by humans breathing directly.

When poisoned, CO will prevent oxygen transport of blood, which will cause severe damage to organs, especially the nervous and cardiovascular systems.

Mild manifestations are dizziness, severe headaches that can lead to coma, cyanosis, weak breathing or apnea. Severe cases without death also suffer from brain damage, leaving permanent neurological sequelae.

According to theoretical and empirical calculations, two-way air-conditioning is the most civilized and safe, protecting the environment to reduce CO2 emissions to the atmosphere best and saving the most energy (saving up to 75% of electricity compared to an electric heater.

There are also a number of devices such as heating lamps, fan heaters, electric blankets or heating pads .

But in addition to the benefits that heaters provide, it is well known that they cause some inconveniences such as hot, dry air, pollution, causing skin cracking or even affecting the respiratory system.

Set the temperature accordingly

For the climate of the country, we should only leave 22 to 25 degrees as appropriate. Because the air is too dry, it can easily affect the respiratory system.

Put the basin in the room when the air conditioner, heater turned on

The winter of our country is usually dry, the air is constantly heated in the room is very easy to affect human health, so increasing the humidity to create a balance for the air is very necessary.

One thing that every consumer knows but not everyone does is to put the basin into the room with air conditioner, heater because most of these devices do not have a humidifier and only the system. warm up.

The humidifier also contributes to improving the air, however, it will be inadequate by the type of machine you will have to regularly clean the machine to avoid bacteria, dirt by steam spraying into the air, making the air more air more infected, easy to affect the respiratory system especially in the elderly and young children.

When using heating equipment during cold days, we should not set the temperature too hot.

Open the door slightly or turn on the ventilation fan

And a misconception also affects health as much as it gets, the more tightly the winter is, the better.

The room is often closed closed jackfruit will make the air in the room dry, no circulation.

The people in the room only breathe with that hot air and the gas produced by the breath, leading to suffocation and a lack of gas.

You should still open the door slightly or turn on the ventilation fan so that the air convection is on while turning on the air conditioner, heater.

Device break time

Excessive air conditioners and heaters should not be used but there must be time off for room air to be recreated.

At this time, all doors should be opened so that the air is ventilated and the old dry hot air is replaced by new air. Doing so will significantly reduce respiratory illnesses caused by the use of heaters.

Hanoi is about to step into a new cold air, so families will use more heating equipment, especially families with young children. Just keep in mind a few small notes that we will not only avoid unwanted consequences but also ensure warmth in the cold winter.
