Infrared heat guns are installed indoors not only as additional heating. They are also used as alternative heating. Usually they are used when it is not possible to install other heating equipment. Maintaining the required comfortable temperature in the room is relevant both for people and for goods or products in it.
Types of heat guns
Depending on the type and area of the heated surface, guns are usually divided into 2 categories: domestic and industrial. Household appliances are used to heat apartments and rooms, industrial appliances are used for storage and other premises covering huge areas.
Depending on the source of energy consumed by such a machine, the following types of heat guns can be distinguished:
- Diesel. Mostexpensive look, runs on diesel fuel only. It has low weight and high power. The diesel infrared heat gun does not burn oxygen and is completely safe in residential areas.
- Electric. The device is powered by electricity. It is used for heating small areas and industrial warehouse complexes. Electric infrared heat guns quickly heat the air to the desired temperature.
- Water. It fills with water, heats up and only after that the heat is released. Widely used for heating greenhouses and greenhouses. Fairly cost effective.
- Gas. The infrared heat gun is gas powered. And there is no difference whether this gas will be from a direct line or a bottled model.
The principle of operation of infrared heat guns
At first glance, a heat gun may seem like a complex unit, but understanding its design and principle of operation is very simple. Any infrared design includes:
- refractory metal body;
- fuel tank and hose;
- security grille;
- nozzle;
- handle;
- wheels.
The main feature of an infrared heat gun is that it does not heat the air in the room, but rather heats the surrounding objects, and they, in turn, give off heat to the air. Only those objects that are located directly in the spectrum of action of infrared radiation are capable of receiving such heat.
Heating the space isa heat gun is completely safe for humans, because the machine does not emit any toxic substances during operation, and good protection implies long-term continuous use. There is no ventilation system in the infrared gun, due to this it is absolutely silent.
Benefits
These devices are able to heat objects outside, despite the weather conditions. The gusty wind will not be able to beat off the radiated heat. Heated objects retain and give off heat for a long time, even when the gun is already turned off.
Infrared guns are characterized by significant energy efficiency. Several operating modes will help you set the task of maintaining the temperature or fast heating and shutting down.
The mobility of the design allows you to save on space, the gun can be installed anywhere, even under the ceiling.
No special knowledge is required in its installation or use. The high degree of protection of the structure will completely protect the home from fire. The existing quality certificate fully complies with standards and norms.
These devices do not emit toxic substances into the air, do not burn oxygen in the room, and are absolutely silent. They begin to heat the surrounding objects immediately after being plugged in.
Scope of application
Infrared heat guns are widely used in various areas of human life. They heat residential premises, apartments, private houses, garages, balconies.
Due to spot heating of objects andsurfaces, they are often used in construction work where a plastered wall or painted ceiling needs to dry quickly.
In auto repair shops they are used as drying, both for individual parts of the car, and for the entire body. On open terraces, summer cafes, where there is no protection from the wind, such cannons will provide a comfortable pastime for visitors.
Tent markets, shopping pavilions located outside during the cold season, which do not have alternative heating, can also be heated by these devices. You can use them everywhere, the only condition for the unit to work is a working outlet.
