The heat gun is a high-power fan, which is designed to dry and heat a room with a large area. A device with a useful power of 1 kilowatt can heat about 30 square meters of space.
With the help of the device, you can heat up to a temperature of 20 degrees. Thus, one Ballu heat gun can heat a room up to 450 square meters.
In its design, any fan heater consists of a housing, a built-in fan, a block of heating elements (heaters, combustion chambers, etc.), a mode switch, a thermostat and a control device. Some models of devices are equipped with a special filter that purifies the air.
When the heat gun works, the room warms up quickly enough. This is possible due to the ability of the devices to create increased air circulation due to the operation of the fan. According to their design, fan heaters are made of various types, shapes, capacities.
The shape distinguish between square and cylindrical devices. The ballu square heat gun has a low power, and the heating element of the device is made in the form of a grid.
Cylindrical devices have increased power ratings up to 54 kW, and their heating element is made in the form of a spiral. These devices, due to their design, give a significantly higher temperature.
By the type of energy source, all Ballu heat guns are divided into gas, diesel and electric. The most popular are electrical devices due to their ease of operation and maintenance. Therefore, they are more common than other types of devices.
Electric Ballu heat guns are used both in industry and in everyday life. Usually, one heating element or a group of them is the source of heat generation. The power of such a heating element most often does not exceed two kW.
The main advantage of electric fan heaters is mobility, it is convenient to transport them to any place. The main disadvantages include the need to create industrial voltage.
Diesel heat guns Ballu are used for the same purposes, but they have design differences. The device is powered by burning kerosene or diesel fuel. Today, these devices are divided into indirect and direct heating fan heaters, which have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The first variety is most often used for space heating, which canto be people or animals. This device has increased protection against the penetration of combustion products into a heated room.
The direct fired diesel fired gun does not have a chimney, which leads to combustion products entering the building. The device must not be used where there are people. Most often, these devices are used for heating various dryers of materials, for drying coatings of building mixtures.
Gas heat guns Ballu are designed for quick heating of any premises. They are small in weight and size and are capable of running on natural or liquefied gas.
