Tips to prevent the dangers of summer heat: 9 people were tragically killed in a fire that broke out in a building in Delhi’s Vivek Vihar area. It is believed that the fire in the building may have been caused by an explosion in the air conditioner. However, the cause of the fire is still under investigation. Even before this, several cases of air conditioner explosions were detected in Delhi and the NCR. In summer, when the temperature exceeds 45 degrees Celsius, people turn on air conditioners to escape the heat. Experts believe that due to prolonged use and lack of maintenance in summer, many appliances can overheat. This increases the risk of explosion. People take precautions when it comes to an air conditioner exploding, but many other things inside the home can also explode in extreme heat. One should also be careful regarding the safety of these things, so that no accident occurs.

There is a risk of explosion in these 5 things in the house!

Nowadays most homes have a refrigerator. In summer, the refrigerator works almost non-stop because it has to cool continuously due to frequent door opening and high outside temperature. If dust builds up on the coils behind the refrigerator or if they are kept too close to the wall, the hot air will not be able to escape and there will be additional pressure on the compressor. This can cause overheating, increasing the risk of damage to the machine as well as a short circuit and explosion. It is very important to provide enough space and regularly clean behind and around the refrigerator.

The inverter and battery system are very useful in case of power outage. Due to increased power outages in summer, there is more load on the inverter, as a result of which the battery continues to charge and discharge continuously. If the battery is old or not properly maintained, there may be problems with outgassing, overheating, or leakage. In many cases, this situation can also cause a serious accident. Therefore, the battery should always be kept in a well-ventilated place and should be checked from time to time.

The third danger relates to the mobile phone charger and extension board. Nowadays, people use many devices simultaneously in the same panel, which leads to overload. In the summer, the wires are already hot, and when they are overloaded, they become even hotter and begin to melt or spark. Poor quality chargers or domestic extension boards increase this risk. Therefore, you should always use high-quality equipment and not install redundant devices on the same board.

The fourth thing is gas cylinders and kitchen equipment. The temperature in the kitchen is already high in summer. If there is even a small leak in the gas pipe, regulator or handle, gas can build up and create a dangerous situation. Sometimes this leak can cause a fire or explosion. Therefore, periodic inspection of gas cylinders, changing pipes from time to time, and adequate ventilation in the kitchen are very important, so that gas does not accumulate.

The fifth and often overlooked risk is power banks and battery-powered devices. The battery heats up quickly in the summer, and if placed in sunlight or an enclosed area, it may swell or pose an explosion risk. This problem is more common in cheap or unbranded power banks, because their security system is weak. Power banks and portable batteries should always be kept in a cool place and should not be left unattended while charging.
