Example of dekaliter?
one dekaliter is approximately 10 liters
Your daily food intake gives you 10 million joules of energy True or False?
You're a little high, but not nearly as much I thoughtyou were when I saw that humongous number ! 1 KG-Calorie (nutrition) = 4,190 Joules so 10,000,000 Joules = (10,000,000 / 4,190) = about 2,385 calories. This is a lot for an office worker, but not that far out for a person who is large or active; so I guess the answer is "True".
How do you operate a hi tec burning log turbo 10 fire?
If it is the older style with a long rather than wide firebox, and tiles along the side, then the following should get you started. It may also be relevant to later models ... The lever above the door that moves sideways controls the damper at the rear of the firebox, which has to be to the right (opens the damper and moves an interlock metal tab to the right) to allow the door to be opened. The small lever at the top front on the right hand side sets the air intake in 3 steps, to the rear for maximum air, to the front for minimum. When the damper opens the interlock mentioned above should pop the intake lever back to maximum. I have experienced 2 well used units, and the damper lever linkages on both have been in bad shape. This means to close the damper (lever to left) properly may require a bit of technique, see below. To start, damper lever to right, open door; my technique is to feed in plenty of screwed up paper, then a layer of twigs or kindling, then a couple of decent bits of timber on top. At the very last, a few screwed up sheets of newspaper at the very front filling up the door, gets everything happening fast. Light this newspaper in a couple of places, then immediately almost fully close the door, leaving it ajar about 3cms of so. The fire should take off like a rocket; move the door in or out to adjust how ferocious it is. What you want is for the chimney at the base to get pretty hot, and to see that decent pieces of timber are well and truly burning. Then close the door properly, using the lever; don't over-tighten as the catch is a bit flimsy and will bend if you overdo it. At this point the damper is open, air intake is maximum. As soon as the fire appears to be really stable close the damper, which may need some fiddling -- to do this, move the lever to the left, then slide the interlock tab with your finger to the left, then move the lever again to the left with a bit of a jerk. When the damper closes properly it will make a bit of a clang; if your unit has this problem you'll probably have to experiment a bit to get the technique right. If the fire dies down at this point you've been too eager to close the damper: damper lever to right, open the door a touch to get it going once more, and try again. With the damper closed the wood is being burnt in the most efficient way, giving off the most heat for the wood used; the only thing to worry about then is the air intake. Lever to the back for maximum heat, towards the front slows the burning rate, and if you fill the firebox last thing at night the front setting should give you a still usable fire in the morning! Depending upon the type of wood burning and the air intake setting, you need to be careful opening the door: do it too quickly and you will have smoke pouring out into the room! Only open it a few cms or so initially, and leave the fire to stabilise a bit before opening further. This is also the way to get the fire going again if it suffocates (firebox fills with smoke) Good luck! Frank
