With the focus on automation these days the question most often asked is “what is the future looking like? Is machine intelligence overtaking humans”? This is the topic due to the present article on using manual changeover kits for LP gas operation. The debate of automatic changeover versus manual changeover with respect to the first line of the article now seems a lot more relevant.
Imagine this scenario. You have an automatic changeover kit with two gas cylinders connected. The setup has been there for quite some time, which means that LP gas is not on your mind at any given time. You start cooking and everything is hunky dory. One cylinder has gotten empty and you are not even aware of it. The second cylinder is in use. A day or two later the first cylinder replacement arrives and life moves on. For some reason you have gone out of the country and asked a caretaker to keep your house in order. Gas is utilised and one cylinder gets empty. In the meantime, the second cylinder has been utilised and is at very low levels when you return from your trip you thank the caretaker and start to cook. The gas is showing empty. It is Saturday evening. You will get the gas replacement only on Monday.
Using a manual changeover kit means turning a knob or lever. The action jogs the memory factor in the brain. It is a brain workout. Consciously the caretaker presents himself to take delivery of replacement gas cylinder. The moral of the story is automation is not such a good idea for things like LP gas and food. So look up a supplier of manual changeover kits and get cracking in replacing the automatic device.
