Yini isilawuli segesi esishintshayo?

	Izilawuli zokushintshwa kwegesi zisetshenziswa ezimeni eziningi lapho kudingeka khona isilinda esingaphezu kweyodwa, njengakumakharavani, emakhaya amaholide nasezikebheni. Ngokuvamile zilawula amasilinda amabili kuya kwamane. I-regulator ivame ukufakwa ku-bulkhead (odongeni oluhlangothini) lwekhabhinethi yegesi futhi ixhunywe kumasilinda amabili noma ngaphezulu. Uma isilinda esisodwa singenalutho, isilawuli esishintshayo sishintshela kumphakeli olindile ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukugeleza kwegesi okuqhubekayo.
	Kunezinhlobo ezimbili zokushintsha izilawuli zegesi: Imanuwali - uzenzela izinguquko nge-lever Okuzenzakalelayo - isilawuli sishintshela kwesinye isilinda
	Kunguqulo yesandla, lapho isilinda esisodwa cishe singenalutho, wena ngokwakho uphendulela i-lever ukushintsha okuphakelayo kwesinye.
	Isilawuli sokushintsha kohlobo oluzenzakalelayo siyezwa lapho igesi iphansi futhi sishintshela ethangini elisha ngaleso sikhathi.
Imanuwali noma i-othomathikhi - yikuphi okungcono?
	I-manuwali governor ikuvumela ukuthi ulawule isilinda ezishintshayo wena. Lokhu kusho ukuthi ungagcina imali ngokuqinisekisa ukuthi ithangi alinalutho ngokuphelele ngaphambi kokushintsha. I-manual regulator nayo ishibhile ukuyithenga kune-othomathikhi. Nokho, ingozi yokushoda kwegesi iphakeme kunesistimu ezenzakalelayo.
	Isilawuli sokushintsha okuzenzakalelayo sizokwenza ushintsho kuwe, okuyinto ewusizo kakhulu uma uphelelwa igesi phakathi nobusuku noma esimweni sezulu esibi. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, abantu abaningi banomuzwa wokuthi isilawuli sishintsha ngokushesha, simoshe enye yegesi esele ethangini lokuqala. Futhi uma ukhohlwa ukulandelela ukusetshenziswa kwakho, ungase uvele uphethe amathangi amabili angenalutho esikhundleni selilodwa.
	Uma usuvele unesilawuli sokukhipha mathupha, ungasiguqulela kwesizenzakalelayo ngokwengeza ikhanda lokukhipha ngokuzenzakalela elikulungela kokufakwayo kwakho okukhona. Lokhu kuzoncika ekwenziweni nakwimodeli yesilawuli sakho.
	Ngaphambilini, kuma-caravan nama-motorhomes, izilawuli zokushintsha zazinamathiselwe ngqo kumasilinda. Kodwa-ke, ngo-2003 umthetho wase-UK washintsha ukuze udinge ukuthi bavikelwe unomphela ku-bulkhead noma odongeni. Isilawuli kufanele sibe ngaphezu kwamasilinda, hhayi ezingeni elifanayo nawo. Lokhu okokunciphisa ubungozi be-LPG ejiyile, izinsalela ezinamafutha, noma okunye ukungcola okungena kusilawuli kusuka endaweni yokugcina amanzi.
	Nakuba ungakwazi ukuxhuma amasilinda kusilawuli esishintshayo ngokwakho noma wengeze ikhanda elishintshayo elizenzakalelayo ohlelweni lwezandla, umthetho wase-UK udinga kuphela unjiniyela wezokuphepha kwegesi oqeqeshiwe ukuze afake noma alungise lolu hlobo lwesilawuli. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi iwuhlelo oluhlala njalo futhi wonke amapayipi egesi kufanele ahlolwe ingcindezi ngemva kokufakwa.
