| 1254420 | 2012-01-16 03:55:00 | Got an old gas oven in camper . Going to use it for a roast for first time next month. The dial starts at 150 and ends 250 would that be F or C? also how does a gas oven keep its temperature? Know how electrical thermostat works but not a gas one. |

| 1254425 | 2012-01-16 21:23:00 | Thermostats on gas ovens may, amongst other methods, use a fluid-filled bulb in the oven that is connected by a capillary tube to a pressure operated valve that turns the gas feed to the main burner off as the oven temperature rises past the set point. This leaves just the pilot flame going to keep the air circulating a bit in the oven as it cools. When the oven temperature drops below the set point (minus the hysteresis), the main burner gas feed switches on, the pilot flame lights the main burner, so we go through the cycle again. It might seem that using thermally powered hydraulics to operate a simple valve is unnecessarily convoluted and complex, but having a bimetal operated valve do the job is a bit unpopular with housewives who are frequently reluctant to flatten the sponge and burn their hands adjusting the oven temperature with a control located inside the oven. |

Thanks for that info. Bought an oven temp gauge today smacked it in with knob at 140 deg fired it up temp went off the clock at 250 deg C. Pulled the governs out and capillary tube is broken. Its a Craig and Seeley stove made in oz in 1984. Will try and get a replacement gas valve and thermostat tomorrow. Dont like my chances though. |
