How Does a Kerosene Pressure Lamp Work?

[SanAmara]

The working principle of a kerosene pressure lamp is as follows: First, preheat the tube system, then pump in 0.20-0.30MPa pressure to force kerosene into the tube, forming vapor that sprays onto the mantle. When ignited, it produces thorium dioxide, which has light-emitting properties, emitting incandescent light under the high-temperature flame. Usage of kerosene pressure lamps: When used outdoors as a camping light, kerosene pressure lamps perform far better than various electronic tube lights. They last longer (generally over 6 hours), have higher brightness, are environmentally friendly without battery pollution, can withstand winds below level 3-4, and can also be used in light rain. When used inside a tent, they have a certain dehumidifying function and can quickly raise the temperature inside the tent in winter. The relationship between kerosene pressure lamps and hurricane lamps: Kerosene pressure lamps are somewhat similar in appearance to hurricane lamps, but their working principles are not entirely the same, so there are also some differences in their specific constructions.
