How to choose IR heaters with a thermostat function to give

For fast heating of rooms in which you do not stay constantly (cottages, for example), it is very good to use IR devices. These devices can maintain the desired temperature in the desired automatic mode. Such infrared heaters with a thermostat for giving can serve both as a main type of heating and as an additional type to the main view.

For the right choice of heating systems for your villa, it is advisable to know what they are, how they work.

Thermostat functions

In general, infrared installations for giving with or without thermoregulation act in the same way, heating not the air in the house, but the objects in it (for more details about the action scheme, principle of operation of the heater with infrared radiation). The difference lies in the fact that with it, heaters are able to support a given temperature automatically.

The thermostat can turn off and turn on the heating unit itself, maintaining the required temperature all the time. Without it, all this will have to be done manually. The device with a thermostat can heat the room without overheating it, which will help to save electricity.

Types of infrared installations with thermostat

Heating devices usually differ in their location, namely there are:

• Outdoor.
  

• Ceiling.
  
• Wall mounted.
  

There are also infrared film heaterswhich are made in the form of:

1. Panels - thin rectangular, with a flat surface, supplied with heating elements.
2. Heat lamps with special reflectors, as well as spiral heating elements.
3. Polymer film with a thin layer of heating parts.

All film-type heaters are fixed on the ceiling or mounted in the floor.

Panel infrared heaters

Heaters also vary not only in shape (film, plate, spiral), but also by materialfrom which they are made. There are:

• Quartz appliances, they use a tungsten filament, sealed in a vacuum quartz tube or a monolithic tile consisting of silica sand.
• Halogen installationsusing inert gas as a source of infrared rays.
• Carbon fiber heatersin which carbon fibers or plates in the form of a radiation source are used.
• Ceramicwhich consist of appropriate plates for uniform distribution of heat.

What devices with thermostat suitable for use in the country

Consider some of them in more detail:

1. Ceiling IR heaters, which are stationary devices. There are they in the form of panels, films or lamps, similar in appearance to luminescent ones. These devices can significantly save space, warm up a fairly large area of ​​the room. Given the difficult access to them, the devices are equipped with thermostats and remote controls.
2. Wall mounted IR devices also belong to the stationary type.They differ sometimes a little more weight than the ceiling options. They are made in the form of panels of various colors and shapes. Wall-mounted IR installations can be in the form of photographs, beautiful paintings, three-dimensional and embossed drawings. They fit well in any interior, can serve as a decoration. Temperature controllers in these devices can be built-in or outside the device. It is desirable to have such devices higher, for better heating of the room and for security purposes.
3. Outdoor IR heating portable devices. They can be transferred to any place in the room or at home. Unlike the previous types, floor heaters occupy additional space on the floor. Made in the form of lamps or panels, they are equipped with special supports in the form of tripods or pedestal legs for a stable location. Almost all outdoor appliances have built-in sensors for emergency shutdown when overturning. But not all models of floor type are equipped with thermostats.

Types of thermostats

Temperature controllers are divided into several types, depending on the place of their installation and the type of device.

Depending on the location of the temperature controllers are:

• Built directly into the IR housing of the device.
  

• Carried out of the case and located at a certain distance from it.
  

By type of device thermostats are:

1. Mechanical, equipped with a temperature sensitive element and a special pen to set the desired temperature.
2. Electronic, being a rather complex device, having an LCD display and very sensitive to temperature differences sensors. At the signal of the sensors, the device can automatically turn on and off the heating system. Electronic thermostats can be programmed and controlled remotely. Their accuracy is much higher than that of mechanical models. Their location can also be built-in or rendered outside the enclosure of the IR heating device.

How to choose the right IR device to give

Deciding the question how to choose an infrared heater to give, you need first:

1. To determine the place of installation of the heating device (ceiling, wall, floor).
2. Choose a suitable power that depends on the goals (warm up a certain part of the room for a comfortable stay or warm the whole room as the main source of heating).
3. Decide what type of thermostat you need (mechanical, electronic, with remote control or without, built-in or remote type).
4. Determine the presence of additional functions (protective sensors from overheating, accidental overturning, etc.).
5. It is also important to know how much money can be allocated for the purchase of an infrared heater with a thermostat.
6. It is necessary to pay attention to manufacturers and their best and high-quality models (for more details, see the article top infrared heaters rating).

Choosing a heating device to the cottage, it is necessary to select its size so that it corresponds with the size of the heated room.

Infrared heaters for gardening with a thermostat function are very often used for heating greenhouses and greenhouses.

Features of connecting the thermostat to the heater

We are talking about models of the rendered type, which can be bundled or to be purchased separately from the heating device.What is important in this case:

1. The heater must be at least 1,5m from the floor.
2. Under the thermostat must necessarily be a layer of insulation, so that the instrument readings are not distorted.
3. One thermostat should be used only in one room.
4. The power of the heater and the thermostatic device must match each other.

Advantages and disadvantages of infrared devices

Infrared heaters with thermostat for giving are simply invaluable due to:

1. Rapid heating of any premises.
2. Comfortable warming of the air layers, and the warm air is distributed below the floor, and the cold accumulates near the ceiling.
3. Oxygen is not burned and natural humidity is preserved.
4. Noiselessness at work.
5. Stylish design.
6. Easy installation and installation.

Among the shortcomings can be noted the individual negatively allergic effects of the device, in this case, you just need not to fall under the direct IR rays of the device and protect your eyes.

In advance, you need to consider the installation location of the device so that there is no direct action of the rays on a person (it is not recommended to install them directly above the bed).

When buying an infrared heater to give, it is best to choose models with a thermostat. In this case, by setting the time for the device to automatically turn on and off, you can already arrive in the overheated warm room. The main thing is to ensure that all overheating sensors or emergency tipping were available and functioned normally.
