Types of diesel heaters

A diesel heater is a unit that runs on liquid fuel and is used to heat various premises and open spaces. Consider where it is applied and what is good.

Fixed and mobile installations

Diesel units are divided into:

• stationary (boilers, fireplaces);
• mobile (these include heat guns and fan heaters).

At the moment, the most popular are portable fuel heaters.

Diesel heat gun technically different from the fan. The differences are mainly in power and performance. The former are often used in large (mostly non-residential) premises, and the latter in apartments and houses.

In addition to the energy from burning fuel, these heaters can also run on gas,and from the mains. But it is the diesel variant that differs from all the others in its high performance, including:

1. Efficiency, sometimes reaching all 100%.
2. Relative savings compared to other energy sources.
3. Ease and reliability in daily use. Diesel fuel can be purchased almost everywhere, and such units have sufficiently large tanks, so there is no need for additional purchase of gas cylinders or electrical wiring.

Diesel heaters come in all kinds. Therefore, the choice of model should be based solely on personal preferences and requirements for a heated room / territory.

Types and principle of operation

All diesel units can be divided into two types: direct and indirect heating.

As for the first, they are pump and ejection. In addition, there are also various options for ignition of fuel, which are used in fuel heaters, but in fact, it does not have a special effect on the characteristics of the device.

Diesel heaters can be used in premises where a natural or forced ventilation system is implemented, as well as in open areas.

Special dimensional mobile heaters are designed for heating various industrial, industrial, warehouse or domestic premises. Very often, diesel heaters are used on construction sites, but can also be used in residential areas.

Naturally, the acquisition of a diesel heater implies a skillful and professional approach to its choice, based on the requirements and operating conditions. Such equipment requires periodic maintenance, and sometimes repair. Therefore, it is best to choose a specialized company that will provide a guarantee of quality and all the other services of specialists.

One of the most popular units are infrared fuel units that are used most often in large rooms where it is not possible to install a centralized heating system. They are also used in cases where it is necessary to locally heat the territory or workplace.

Heat energy is transferred from the unit to all objects and people that are directly in front of the heater directed at them.

Approximately 92% of the total heat transferred is directed to the objects that are directly in front of the unit, and only the remaining 8% is spent on heating the air. This reduces fuel consumption, which is a fairly good indicator.

Many modern fuel heaters are equipped displaywhere there is all the information about the modes and process of work. For convenience of movement of installation there are special castors.

Fuel infrared heaters recommended for use in areas where there is a shortage or restrictions on the consumption of electrical energy, as well as in facilities with poor thermal insulation.

Top 5 best manufacturers

At the moment, the market has a large number of heaters from different brands. Based on the tests carried out, taking into account the numerous characteristics and customer reviews, the top 5 manufacturers were identified who occupy the main niche in this segment:

1. KERONA.
2. Hintek.
3. BALLU.
4. Master.
5. BIEMMEDUE.

The choice of one manufacturer or another depends not only on the proposed technical parameters of the device,but also from the financial capabilities of the buyer. Leaders of sales list combine excellent value for money.

How to choose the right model

Initially, it is necessary to determine the type of heat unit that you want to buy (indirect or direct heating).

Diesel heater direct heating has an open burner, from where heated air moves towards the direction of the unit. Such equipment is able to warm the surrounding air. up to 400 degrees Celsius In addition, it is necessary to take into account their efficiency. But at the same time, they cannot be used in closed or residential premises with people. They are used as heating for construction sites, for drying various materials or in open spaces.

Diesel heater indirect heating has a closed type burner. After combustion, the fuel is sent to a heat exchanger where air is heated. Further, through a hose, it gets into the room. The cost of such devices is somewhat higher than the previous ones, but they can be safely used in rooms with people. They are able to heat the air up to 120 degrees Celsius.

There are also diesel heaters of indirect heating, operating on the principle of heating a metal plate. Heat is transferred to the walls and various objects already from the plate.

Almost all diesel thermal units have a wide angle of coverage, so that they can be used in large rooms.

As soon as the type of diesel heater is determined, the range of basic technical characteristics necessary for the consumer should be outlined:

1. 1. Coverage angle (responsible for how widespread the hot air will be).
   2. The amount of consumed diesel fuel in the calculation of the displacement per 1 hour of operation.
   3. Maximum temperature of warming up ambient air.
   4. The volume of the fuel tank (affects the time of continuous operation).
   5. Dimensions and weight of the unit (must be considered for storage and transportation of the heater).
   6. The presence of various additional functions for heaters on liquid diesel fuel (the possibility of automatic arson, security systems, type of display, control panel, support and adjustment of the set temperature).
   7. Availability of wheels or handles for comfortable transportation.
