Most of them are just a check valve. \u00a0The BG backfire is traveling at speeds up to 6000 feet per second. \u00a0The backfire zips past the check valve before it can even move.<br \/>\n2. Further, the BG backfire creates a vacuum behind it, which would further tend to hold the valve open; and finally;<br \/>\n3. Even if the valve was shut, the shock wave from the BG explosion can travel through the valve parts and ignite the BG on the other side of the valve.4. A few of them have a \u2018screen\u2019 (wire mesh) to quench a backfire. \u00a0The BG flame is so hot that it vaporizes the screen.There are inline backfire arresters that are reasonably reliable for BG (though they too will eventually fail and\/or need maintenance). \u00a0I recommend having two inline, so when the first one fails, the second will catch the backfire; then move the second to the front and replace the second with a new (or refurbished) one.<br \/>\nThe only totally reliable way to stop a BG (HHO) backfire is to use a bubbler, where the BG is separated into tiny bubbles that rise through water of at least 4 inches deep. \u00a0It the water isn\u2019t deep enough, the backfire can go from bubble to bubble and thus go through the water.<br \/>\nThe best bubbler design is a tube in tube bubbler because it doesn\u2019t rely on a check valve to prevent bubbler water from being sucked back into the electrolyzer when the electrolyzer has a lower pressure (from internal implosion or just cooling of hot gasses).<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product-resource-group":[100],"restricted-resource-tag":[],"class_list":["post-872","product-resource","type-product-resource","status-publish","hentry","product-resource-group-browns-gas-book-1-resources"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aquacure-jeffro-dev.linksdev.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-resource\/872","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aquacure-jeffro-dev.linksdev.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-resource"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aquacure-jeffro-dev.linksdev.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product-resource"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aquacure-jeffro-dev.linksdev.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=872"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product-resource-group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aquacure-jeffro-dev.linksdev.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-resource-group?post=872"},{"taxonomy":"restricted-resource-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aquacure-jeffro-dev.linksdev.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/restricted-resource-tag?post=872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
