The heat gun is a device consisting of a heating element and a fan, which is enclosed in a durable metal case, an externally resembling a cannon. Thanks to the fan, warm air is pushed outward, which allows you to warm up or dry any residential or non-residential room, such as warehouse, garage, workshops, etc. in a matter of minutes. Such equipment is simply indispensable for construction work in the winter season. The heat guns on the fuel are operating, which can use gas, electricity, waste oil, diesel fuel and others.
Content
Currently, the construction market offers buyers a large selection of heat guns that differ between their power and cost. Despite this, choose such a task device for many not simple. Therefore, then consider the main types of thermal guns and the features of their choice.
Types of heat guns
The most common types of heat guns, depending on the source of energy consumed, it is customary as follows:
Gas thermal guns
- To operate such guns in the natural gas is used as an energy source, which result completely consumed. Therefore, such a device can be used even in those areas where strict requirements are put forward especially for clean air. For example, in places with poor ventilation, and large crowds, in greenhouses, farms, etc.
- Almost all gas gun is very mobile, that is easy to transport from place to place, install and ready to use.
- In addition, any gas heat gun in most cases equipped with special thermostats that ensures its automatic shut-off after the room is heated to a certain temperature.
Diesel heat gun
Heat gun diesel - a device that uses your energy to liquid diesel fuel. Diesel guns divided into two groups:
- direct heating of the heat gun;
- indirect heating heat gun.
The difference from each other is that diesel direct heating heat gun during its operation emit into air combustion, so they can be used only in open space. And indirect heat gun does not pollute the environment, which allows them to be used in any environment and conditions. However, the cost of such equipment is much higher.
Multifuel heat gun
Multifuel heat guns represent thermal equipment, which works on the waste oil. Heat gun on oil - is an effective and economical device which can be used for heating the garage, shed, utility room, etc. They, as well as diesel, are of direct and indirect heating.
Electric heat gun
- Heat gun as electrical heating element in its design uses a metal spiral or a tubular heater which is differently called TAN.
- Such thermal equipment experts called the most safe and environmentally friendly, as they do not have combustion products.
- As gas fan heaters, electrical protection system supplied from overheating.
Infrared heat gun
- This type of heating equipment, unlike the above three has no fan in their construction. air heating takes place through infrared radiation.
- Such guns are perfectly safe for human health.
- They have the possibility of heating certain sections of the surface, which is very convenient when necessary, when necessary, for example, dried up plaster, etc.
Water thermal guns
- In such equipment, the heating element is the heat exchanger, which is filled with hot water. Water heat guns are a powerful fan heater that heats the air due to water heating.
- They differ in the economy of energy consumption and good speed of heating of the room even the largest.
- Water guns are usually fixed on the wall or under the ceiling.
Criteria for the choice of thermal gun
Mobility
Thermal guns are divided into stationary installations and portable. Selecting a specific type depends on the purpose of this equipment.
- Stationary thermal guns are chosen for constant heating of the room. This is the most inexpensive and effective way. However, they require special installation that is able to fulfill an exceptionally experienced professional.
- Portable thermal guns are suitable for heating workshops, construction sites, garages. This is a simpler equipment, which is very often supplied with special trolleys.
Power
It depends on this indicator how effectively the premises will occur and the main task will be directly performed. In order to correctly choose a heat gun, it is necessary to calculate the required power of the equipment. Experts note that on average, 10 square meters of the area will need 0.8-1.4 kW.
More clearly to see the power of the diesel cannon can be on the video:
Type of fuel
When choosing a suitable heat gun for a specific task, it is necessary to take into account also, what kind of energy is most convenient and rationally in this particular situation.
Security
In order for such equipment, like a heat gun, it is absolutely safe for those around people, it is necessary to take into account the features of the operation of each type and those conditions in which it will happen. In particular, first of all, it is necessary to determine the choice of direct or indirect heating device.
Price
The cost of a heat gun depends on the principle of operation of such equipment, functionality, the presence of additional equipment and its power. For example, diesel cannons are the most powerful among all, however, they are much more expensive than other types. The most affordable prices are electric thermal guns.
Manufacturer
Master
One of the most popular trademarks that has experience in this area for more than 40 years. Thermal guns MASTER are diesel, electric, gas, as well as guns, which work on spent oil. The company's products are distinguished by high quality, functionality, reliability, security, attractive design and acceptable cost. Such a heat gun, spare parts for which it is fairly easy to find, an excellent choice for both private and commercial.
