How to choose a good gas heater to give

The use of gas as a fuel for heating country houses is now considered the cheapest option. Therefore, such heaters are becoming increasingly popular among summer residents. Since there are many varieties of them, we will consider how to choose the right gas heater for the garden, taking into account the peculiarities of the operation of these products. Typically, such devices can be of two types - stationary and portable.

Stationary devices

The most popular and sought after option aregas convectors. These stationary devices are designed so that the device itself is located inside the heated room, and the gas combustion chamber is placed outside. Therefore, heating devices of this type are harmless (they do not burn oxygen indoors, but remove all products of combustion outside the house).

The principle of operation of stationary gas appliances lies in the heating of the combustion chamber, which is usually made of steel or cast iron, and not from the heating of the heat carrier (as used in boilers with a water heating system).

With gas-operated convectors, there is no need to constantly maintain heating so that the pipes do not freeze and burst.

One of the important advantages of this type of heating installations is easy installationwhich can be done independently. The only thing that will be required is coordination with the relevant services and the connection of the gas itself, which must be carried out by specialists. In the case of operation of devices from liquefied gas supplied in cylinders, it is still easier. But with a balloon or connected to a gas pipeline, such a heating device acts with high efficiency, heating up to 30 m2 rooms (this is a couple of rooms or a small house).

The only drawback with a non-gasified summer cottage is additional troubles and costs for the delivery of gas cylinders. But the favorite country house will be heated with its own independent heating.

Portable Heaters

In addition to stationary gas-powered devices, their mobile version is also popular. In addition to being easily transported from place to place, they consume much less gas than stationary devices. In addition, they can be used not only indoors, but also on the street.

The disadvantages of portable devices include:

1. Their small capacity (but they are able to heat the rooms up to 20 m2).
2. Limited fuel supply (these are either ordinary separately installed gas cylinders or embedded small cartridges).

Heating devices with a catalytic panel as a heating element

This type of heater is the most suitable device for heating country houses. The principle of operation of devices:

1. The burning liquefied gas is in contact with the plate on which the catalyst (glass fiber) is applied.
2. At high temperatures, the process of flameless combustion begins, and the release of harmful substances and soot does not occur.

These devices work silentlyas a result of contact of the gas with the catalyst, the energy of the combusted natural gas is converted into thermal energy that can heat the room up to 20 m2. For feeding such catalytic installations, standard 5–7 l cylinders are sufficient. liquefied gas, and the temperature of thermal radiation reaches 600 C.

IR Heaters

IR heaters are also capable of converting the energy of a burning gas into infrared thermal radiation. The principle of operation they have built on the use of open flamewhich is created using a ceramic burner, from this radiators of this type generate radiation having a temperature of up to 800 C. Gas infrared heaters far superior in power catalytic, they can heat quite large rooms - up to 60 m2, especially if there is an integrated fan.

High power of these devices entail a high fuel consumption (here they already use liquefied gas cylinders with a capacity of 7-12 liters).

Gas cannons

They are quite mobile, have a large capacity, which makes it possible to warm up even very spacious rooms efficiently and quickly. Their work is comparable to the work of a small jet engine. These devices are relevant in the absence of electricity. Working on gas, they completely transform it into heat, their efficiency at the same time reaches 100%.

Heat guns on gas can work in a direct and indirect way of heating. In residential premises, the second option is preferable, since in this case the combustion products do not get into the air, but are discharged with a special exhaust pipe.

Outdoor gas heaters

This type of heating device is a good option for those who want to extend the season of summer weekends and picnics. They can be installed in the gazebo or just at the barbecue, for example. In appearance, they resemble a conventional lamppost, at the base of which is a gas tank. It is quite simple to use it, the main thing is to do the refueling on time. Installation outdoor heater it is still better to entrust experts.

Advantages and disadvantages of gas household heaters

Pros:

1. Almost all of them are easy to install and reliable.
2. They are easy to transport, compact small models can fit in a travel bag.
3. They are economical, profitable (the use of gas is much cheaper than the consumption of electricity).
4. The devices are fairly safe.

The use of gas appliances has some drawbacks:

1. Since these devices use an open flame, some precautions are necessary.
2. When using such devices, it is desirable to monitor the quality of ventilation, to consider additional ventilation.

What is important to pay attention to when purchasing

Buying gas heaters to give, you should pay attention to such things as:

1. Safety indicator (presence of an emergency gas supply disconnection sensor).
2. What area it is able to heat.
3. The frequency of heating (constant or one-time heating for a short time).
4. Power device.

Conclusion 

Which is better to buy a gas heater to give? Which household appliance will do the job well? Here it is important to imagine what the heater is bought for:

1. If you need a stationary device for constant heating of a small cottage or a single room, it is better to purchase a gas convector.
2. If it is necessary to produce several rooms with an area of ​​up to 20 m2, then a quiet and economical catalytic installation would be a good option.
3. For heating the entire large house, ceramic IR heaters are well suited.
4. If necessary, warm gazebos, terraces, pavilions are very effective heat guns and the so-called street heaters.

Moreover, if something is not clear in the technical characteristics of the selected device, the managers of any store will always prompt the best heating option for your country house.
