OPERATION:
A blow lamp is a tool used for applications such as soldering, brazing, plumbing, heating, and culinary purposes. It utilizes a flammable gas, typically propane or butane, as a fuel source. The blow lamp is ignited by opening the gas control valve slightly and using a separate ignition source to ignite the gas at the nozzle or burner. Once ignited, the flame intensity and size can be adjusted using the gas control valve. Turning the valve increases or decreases the gas flow, thereby adjusting the flame size and temperature.
MAINTENANCE:
Regular maintenance is essential for the efficient and safe operation of a blow lamp. After each use allow the lamp to cool down completely before handling it. Remove any debris or residue from the nozzle and control valve by wiping them with a clean cloth. Inspect the fuel canister for any signs of damage or leaks and replace it if necessary. Store the blow lamp in a safe and dry place away from flammable materials.

(i) Trickle charge: Trickle charging is a method of charging a battery at a low rate to maintain its full charge. It applies a small constant current to the battery to compensate for self-discharge and keep the battery topped up. Trickle charging is used for batteries in vehicles that are not regularly used such as motorcycles or seasonal recreational vehicles.
(ii) Constant Voltage charge: Constant Voltage charging is a method of charging a battery by applying a constant voltage to it. The voltage is set at a level that is safe for the battery and prevents overcharging. As the battery charges the current gradually decreases. Once the battery reaches its full charge the charger maintains a constant voltage to keep the battery topped up without overcharging it.
(iii) Constant current charge: Constant current charging is a method of charging a battery by providing a constant current to it. The current is set at a level that is safe for the battery and allows it to charge efficiently. As the battery charges the voltage gradually increases until it reaches its full charge. Constant current charging is used for fast charging applications where a high current is required to charge the battery quickly.
(iv) Floating system: Floating system charging is a method of charging a battery where a constant voltage is applied to the battery to maintain its full charge. The voltage is set at a level that is safe for the battery and prevents overcharging. The charger continuously monitors the battery’s voltage and adjusts the charging current as needed to keep the battery topped up.
