ELECTRONIC GAS LIGHTER

PART-II

A) INTRODUCTION

The electronic gas lighter uses a piezo-electric crystal. This crystal has a property to generate voltage when it is mechanically deformed. It generates high voltage across a spark gap which when in proximity to a gas would ignite it.

Gas lighters are being used by cooking gas users. It is durable due to its performance and economical as compared to the mechanical and electrical lighters. It does not require battery for its operation. It is safer, economical, reliable and quick in action. It requires virtually no maintenance.

B) MARKET POTENTIAL

The demand of any type of gas lighter is directly related to the release of domestic gas connections by various gas companies in the country. However, users go in for various types of gas lighting devices i.e. matches, electrical or electronic gas lighter. The preference to use electronic gas lighters is quite high because of inherent advantages stated above. Even existing gas users have been increasingly switching over to electronic gas lighters. At present, there is no small scale unit engaged in the manufacture of electronic gas lighter in the State of Uttar Pradesh. The cost of gas lighter is very well within the reach of users and therefore demand is increasing day by day.

C) BASIS & PRESUMPTIONS

1. The basis for calculation of production capacity is on single shift basis, working of 25 days per month on 75 % efficiency. The required for achieving envisaged capacity utilization is assumed as one year.

2. BEP for the scheme has been calculated on full capacity utilization.

3. Rate of interest has been taken as 15% on an average. This, however, is likely to vary depending upon the financial outlay of the location of the project.

4. Labour wages have been taken on the basis of minimum applicable. There are likely to change depending upon the location of the project.

5. Margin money requirement differs from project or project and type of entrepreneurs such as women, SC/ST, physically handicapped etc. and the minimum margin money usual asked by the financial institutions and banks are 15%. Margin money up to 25% in some cases is also asked. The entrepreneurs may check the margin money requirement from financial institutions for the project.

6. Term of loan differs from one financial institution to another and in general minimum gestation period is normally 6 months and it could be 2 years. Maximum period for repayment of loan is 7 years including gestation period. The entrepreneurs from the concerned financial institutions may find the exact terms and conditions.

7. The cost of machinery and equipments as indicated in the scheme are approximate those ruling at the time of preparation of the scheme. The entrepreneur may check the exact price for specific make and model of the machine selected.

8. Non-refundable deposits, cost of preparation of project report etc. may be considered under preoperative expenses.

9. The provision made in other respects viz; raw materials, utilities, overheads etc. are drawn on the basis of standard variation and output. The cost indicated against each are approximate and based on local market condition and observations. The entrepreneur may find out the exact cost from the concerned sources.

10. The operative period of this project is estimated to be about 10 years considering technology obsolesce

E) TECHNICAL ASPECTS:

(i)

Process of Manufacture:

Sheet metal work & M.S. Tubing/Cases can be done by job work from outside. Moulded components are made on injection moulding machine. Assembly on Piezo electric ceramic cartridge alongwith sheet metal components/parts and moulded parts are carried out and fitted in M.S. tubing/cases. The complete assembled unit is tested for life cycle ignition before it is sent for packing and dispatched.

(ii) Quality Control and Standards

There is no standard BIS Specification for this product However, the following specifications may be referred for quality:

IS:11514 – 1985 Piezo electric ceramic cartridge for impact type gas lighter IS:11519 – 1985 Piezo electric ceramic cartridge for squeeze type of gas lighter IS:11013 – 1984 Piezo electgric ceramic elements (impact type & squeeze type)

It is envisaged that the gas lighter will be able to perform the following operations:

1. To generate voltage above 10 KV

2. Period of spark generation should not be less than 10 milli second 3. The gas lighters must be able to operate more than 30,000 times.

(iii) Production Capacity:

Item Quantity Value

Electronic Gas Lighters 18,000 Nos. Rs. 18,90,000/-

(iv) Motive Power:

3 Phase 5 KVA

(v) Pollution Control:

The Govt. accords utmost importance to control environment pollution. The small scale entrepreneurs should have an environmental friendly attitude and adopt pollution control measures by process modification and technology substitution.

India having acceded to the Montreal Protocol in Sept. 1992, the production and use of Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) like Chlorofluore Carbon (CFCs), Carbon Tetrachloride, Halons and Methyl Chloroform etc. need to be phased out immediately with alternative chemicals / solvents. A notification for detailed Rules to regulate ODS phase out under the Environment Protection Act, 1986 have been put in place with effect from 19th July, 2000.

(vi) Energy Conservation:

With the growing energy needs and shortage coupled with rising energy cost, a greater thrust in energy efficiency in industrial sector has been given by the Govt. of India since 1980s. The Energy Conservation Act 2001 has been enacted on 18th August, 2001, which provides for efficient use of energy, its conservation & capacity building of Bureau of Energy Efficiency created under the Act.

The following steps may help for conservation of electrical energy:

i) Adoption of energy conservation technologies, production aids and testing facilities.

ii) Efficient management of process/manufacturing machineries and systems, QC and testing equipment for yielding maximum Energy Conservation.

iii) Optimum use of electrical energy for heating during soldering process can be obtained by using efficient temperature controlled soldering and de soldering stations.

iv) Periodical maintenance of motor5s, compressors etc.

v) Use of power factor correction capacitors, proper selection and layout of lighting system; timely switching on-off of the lights; use of compact fluorescent lamps wherever possible etc.
