Inverter heater for home and street
Inverter heater combines economy and high efficiency. It can work both on gas and from electricity. An inverter is built into the unit (a generator with a voltage that occurs periodically) that allows you to convert alternating current into direct current. Consider the advantages and algorithm of the inverter heater in more detail.

What is a
Inverter heaters are able to control the heating process in automatic mode. So, for example, after reaching a predetermined air temperature, the system does not turn off, as in other devices, but switches to a reduced power level. Due to this principle of operation, it is possible to maintain the desired level of heat in the room. The heater also consumes much less energy, since there is no need to constantly turn the device on and off.
The principle of operation of the inverter heater is similar to the action air conditioner. The main working part in it is a heat pump, which is based on the internal and external units. In the first there is a heat exchanger, inside of which freon accumulates under high pressure. The temperature of freon can reach 80 degrees. After that, it enters the external unit, where there is a lower pressure. Here, freon is transformed from a liquid to a gaseous state. As a result of its transition, a large amount of thermal energy is released.
Inverter heater is very effective. Even if the room is very cold, the device begins to heat it intensively, without reducing its coefficient of efficiency.
Pros and cons of the device
Advantages of an inverter heater:
- When the desired temperature is reached, the unit is not turned off, but switches to functioning at low revs.
- It does not spend a lot of energy, because you do not need to constantly turn the device on and off. Energy savings in comparison with other heating devices is 30-50%.
- It keeps to the set air temperature due to the smooth control of the speeds of the compressor motor rotation.
- The device has high performance. It can heat even at very low temperatures.
- Safe and environmentally friendly.
- It works almost silently, thanks to the built-in fan.
The disadvantages include:
- High cost in comparison with other heating devices.
- Sensitivity to voltage drops.
- Parts are not standardized, so the repair may take several weeks.
Use in heating systems
Today, this device is used in heating systems, where the source of power is electrical energy, less often - gas supply. It can be implemented wherever there is electricity. To use the inverter heating do not need permits,Installation does not require the approval of the respective services. Such a device is much cheaper than the rest. Gas boiler can be safely replaced by an inverter heater.
Species
Inverter type units are divided into several types. Popularity is acquired by devices that run on natural and liquefied gas. These devices are used for heating cottages, cottages and open areas.
The first is electric inverter heater, it is powered from the mains, which is very convenient for a large number of people. There are also infrared varieties of it. Their difference from other heating devices is that they heat not the air mass, but the objects around them, which after some time transfer heat to the surrounding space. Only those objects that fall within the range of infrared rays heat up (for more details, see the article principle of operation of the heater with infrared radiation). This type of heaters is used not only at home, but also on the street - for heating garages, verandas, utility rooms.
Infrared inverter heaters lead in sales,They are considered the most economical and resistant to various adverse conditions, practical and durable.
The second type is attributed air conditioners in which heat pumps are embedded. The scheme of his work is described above.
The third type includes gas heaterswhich perfectly cope with heating of any rooms. Their main task is to maintain the required temperature in the building. Gas appliances are characterized by the fact that they give a lot of heat with a minimum of fuel costs.
How to choose an inverter heater
When choosing a heater, you need to pay attention to the following characteristics:
- Batch number. The plant, which produces high-quality equipment, affix special symbols, numbers and letters on each manufactured product.
- Contact reliability. This characteristic is considered one of the main ones, since the heater must withstand a high voltage level.
- Wires inside the device. They must be made from quality materials. Even with ignition, they will fester just a few minutes.
- Quality certificates. This document must be attached to any electrical appliance.
- CE marking (mark of conformity).It is applied to products and products that meet EU advanced requirements and are not harmful to the health of customers.
Model range of inverter heaters
Among the manufacturers are the following: Panasonic, Haier, Daikin, LG, Samsung.
Leader in the production of these devices Japan. Invertor heaters were first produced in this country. Company DAIKIN adjusted release inverter air conditioners, which are attached to the wall, so the development was paid special attention to the quality of air purification and noise level.
Company Toshiba produces exclusive and economical models of air conditioners that can be entered into any interior. Inverter converter, which is built into the air conditioner, allows to reach the required temperature in a short time. This model is equipped with an air filter that destroys up to 95% of pathogenic bacteria.
Operating rules
In order for the device to serve for a long time, it is necessary to follow some rules during operation:
- The distance from the heater to any object should be at least 500 mm.
- Do not put the unit under the window opening.
- Experts do not recommend leaving the device turned on at night, this can only be done if there is a thermostat inside it that regulates the frequency of work.
- On the heater should not dry things.
Energy efficiency in our time is considered one of the most important criteria when choosing heating devices, so you should carefully consider the purchase of heaters. Unlike convective heating (central, oil radiators), inverter devices allow you to warm that part of the air mass where people are located, which is very convenient and beneficial.
