Solar heater - a convenient and efficient way to heat

Each of us faced such a situation, when it became very cold outside and there was no heating in the house. Or simply turned off the electricity, and the batteries became cold. In these cases, the heater will come to the aid on diesel.

Where to apply

Regardless of the type of fuel (diesel or gasoline), all catalytic heaters they have one important advantage - they are able to work for a very long time without being controlled by a person. And this means that such heat sources are fire-proof and can be used in everyday life.

Also, such furnaces will find their application in garages, in warehouses and workshops, in change houses and on construction sites, they will heat a greenhouse, a summer house or a country house.

Mobile models are indispensable in the campaigns - for heating tents and heating food. Petrol portable heater known to any traveler.

Common species

Widely used devicesforced air heating. Thermal energy in them is created due to the combustion of diesel fuel. This heat is used to heat a metal or ceramic element, and when the fan is turned on, warm air begins to circulate and the room warms up. They are best used in large rooms, without air flow and drafts. Such heaters are very effective and are inexpensive.

Infrared diesel heaters. Infrared radiation is similar to solar, it warms first of all objects and people, and then air. Also arranged and infrared heaters on the diesel. An important advantage of this type of heating is the instantaneous heating of objects close to it. Devices are well suited for rooms with drafts.

Diesel infrared heat sources are very energy efficient, and by connecting a generator, you can create your own independent heating.

Due to the fact that diesel fuel is completely burned, such devices do not need smoke removal. They are often installed outdoors and in street cafes. The disadvantage of such heat sources is the inability to heat large rooms.

If we compare the air and infrared types of devices, then the first one loses much to the second, since it dries the air in the room quite strongly.

Heating boilers on diesel work on the same principle as turbocharged gas appliances. Their similarity is also easy to control electronically in automatic mode.

Compact devices are very popular on the market - sort of stoves with a fan. They are 2 types:

• with direct heating (without chimney);
• with indirect heating.

The principle of operation of the stove with indirect heating is very simple. Liquid fuel enters the combustion chamber, where it is burned due to the air supplied by the fan. Passing the heat exchanger, warm air rushes into the room, heating it over the entire area.Such a heating device is very often used. in garages. The design of heaters allows you to: control consumable fuel and adjust the temperature.

Basically, all modern furnaces on diesel have a flame control system, which means that when overheated, the device will automatically turn off.

Fuel consumption

Combustion of 1 liter of diesel fuel is 10 kW-hours of thermal energy. To heat 1 sq. M of the house it is necessary 0.1 kW of energy. From here you can calculate the estimated costs. For example, to warm a house of 100 squares, you need about 1 liter per hour. However, this average calculationssince it all depends on which device you are using.
