Does Higher Heating Load (KW) Means Better Flame Power?

When sourcing for a gas hob, do you often see a few heating load offered in the market eg. 5.5kW, 5.0kW?

Does a higher kW mean your hob is more efficient?

The distance from burner to the bottom of the pan may be short, but it’s a major source of energy loss. It wastes more than 50% of your cooking energy, meaning that a standard heat capacity of cooking power.

Poor hob design producing yellow flames are the signs of heat loss. This can cause the bottom of your pots and pans to char quickly and release unhealthy gases into the air.

Factors that determine a gas hob’s heating efficiency:

Burner Design: The design of the gas hob play an important role in heating efficiency. Well-designed gas hob with optimal air-to-fuel ratios can produce a consistent and even flame, promoting uniform heat distribution across the cooking surface.
Ignition System: An efficient and reliable ignition system ensures that the gas hob starts promptly when activated. Quick ignition contributes to faster heating times, allowing for immediate cooking without unnecessary delays.
Ideal Flame Distance: Gas hobs designed for maximum contact with cookware, along with the use of materials with high thermal conductivity, contribute to efficient heat transfer.
Even Heat Distribution: The ability of a gas hob to distribute heat evenly across the cooking surface is crucial for consistent cooking results. Even heat distribution prevents hot spots and ensures that food is cooked uniformly. This factor is influenced by burner design, flame patterns, and the overall construction of the gas hob.

The 6 Core Technologies of FOTILE Super Flame With More Than 60% Heating Efficiency

1. Pressure-Stable Pre-Mixing Chamber
Gas and oxygen fuse more uniformly to create stable flames

2. U5-Balanced Direct Injection Chamber
Enhanced air pressure balance, impactful bursts to generate roaring flames

3. Oxygen Augmenting Fire Cap Higher
Massive oxygen-concentration

4. Large Flame Hole
Angled precisely to target cookware bottoms, meaning the flames will not be affected by environmental changes

5. Oxygen Supplementation
The 11mm high oxygen inlet ensures consistent air supply

6. Double-Stabilised Flame Ring
Ensure stable flame

Benefits of Higher Heating Efficiency

High-Speed Cooking Preserves Nutrients: Using a more efficient flame increases the heat transfer to the pan, reducing cooking time and preserving key nutrients
Fewer Cooking Gas Replacement: An optimized hob reduces gas consumption, meaning fewer gas replacement.
Less Toxic Gas Released Into The Air: An efficient flame reduces toxic gasses released into the environment, creating a healthier environment for all
