Dignity and design features of heat balls
With the arrival of cool weather, always a bottleneck in the arrangement of working premises is their heating: after working in freezing cold, a warm utility room is simply necessary. Heat guns are increasingly coming to the rescue, gradually replacing outdated oil and fan heaters. The Chinese brand “Ballu”, when we were there, became widely known for its reliable products. The company produces an extensive range of climate technology, but the Ballu heat gun has bypassed many similar products from other manufacturers.

Benefits of Ballu cannons
Buying a heat gun Ballu, bribe its small size with enough high heat emission. In addition to its compactness, it is also very light (the weight does not exceed one and a half kilograms), and for the convenience of transportation it is equipped with a convenient plastic handle. Compact devices of this company are highly popular with consumers, it is associated with first-class technical characteristics, thoughtful design and high-precision performance.
The Ballu electric heat gun is a new level of professional heaters in a special anti-vandal cabinet designed for accelerated heating and drying of premises, production areas, and summer houses. The standard ballu heat gun, powered by the mains, consists of a heating element, a fan and a sturdy housing with a reliable coating.
The heating element in the heat ball gun
A special feature of this heating gun is a special heating element made of ceramics, which consumes little power with substantial heating. With increasing temperature of the heating element increases its electrical resistance and decreases the amount of power consumption.This phenomenon completely eliminates the possibility of overheating of the ceramic heating element and provides extremely low power consumption.
Since a distinctive feature of the Balla heat guns, which favorably differ from fan heaters, is a special ceramic heating element, let us consider its structure in more detail.
In devices with a nichrome spiral, it is heated due to the flow of electric current, which is why it is very hot. The same thing happens in devices with metal heating elements. The heating element of a ceramic heat gun is different in that there are no hot glowing elements of the spiral, heating is only due to the heating of the ceramic surface, and this surface is much larger than that of spirals and heating elements. A relatively large area is created. heat exchange at a low temperature of the ceramic element, so the heating of the air mass is much faster.
If you take all three types of heating elements and heat them to the same temperature, the amount of heat produced by the ceramic heater will be large due to the larger area, that is, the heat output is much larger.
But the effect of the absence of oxygen absorption when fully heated significantly increases the comfort of using this particular equipment. Also, unlike the fan heaters, there is no plastic smell, as there are no plastic parts in the product.
Technical features of heat balls
An important advantage of this device is his slight fire hazard because the ceramic heating element does not reach elevated temperatures during operation. The heat gun Vallu has a rated power of the heating element up to 2 kW. With a room size of about 2.7 meters in height, the power of the gun is enough to maintain a comfortable temperature in a room of 20 square meters.
In principle, the basics of building a heat gun and a conventional fan heater are approximately the same, but there are differences in efficiency:
- the gun captures and processes greater airflow;
- the gun is made of steel and has no plastic parts;
- significant energy savings due to reduced electricity consumption.
In the heat gun Ballu provides fan mode, without heating.For an hour, the gun drives through about 120 cubic meters of air.
The ventilation mode without heating is a distinctive feature of the heat gun ballu. The use of this mode greatly increases the use of this device.
In addition, there are many other constructive advantages in the cannon of the manufacturer Ballu.
- The supporting legs on an elastic basis significantly reduce vibration, the noise during operation of the device does not cause complaints.
- On switching modes, a special button is used with protection against moisture and dust.
- The power cable cannot be turned or pulled out. In general, you can not immediately turn off the power on the ball Balla. First, the thermostat must remove the heating element and allow cold air to cool it, letting the fan work. And only after that you can turn off the device.
- The equipment is designed for round-the-clock work thanks to modern overheating protection.
- The special coating of the all-welded body can serve indefinitely without any signs of corrosion.
- The power cord is long enough, and the company did not save on the cable section.
- Protective grill protects the heating element from debris and dirt.
- Two modes of operation of the ceramic heating element allow you to quickly adjust the degree of heating.
- Fan flow does not seem very strong, but it is enough for optimal air processing, plus the noise figure is quite low.
I want to note high-quality assembly metal case, the parts fit perfectly, there are no gaps. Quite a pleasant appearance is created through the use of yellow polymer paint. The operation did not reveal any significant shortcomings, and the advantages, of course, include 3 year warranty - such an indicator is extremely rare to meet in our time.

Of all the variety of heat cannons Ballu several models stand out as the undisputed leaders. Consider their specifications.
Ballu BHP-3000CL
Medium power gun. Perfectly established itself in the construction work in cottages and apartments. It warms up the room very quickly, which was left without heating for a long time. Effectively distributes warm air throughout the room due to the power of the fan.
Heat gun working on two heating modes - 1.5 kW and 3.0 kW, switching is made by convenient buttons with backlight. The device has enough power for a thorough heating of 300 m3: the temperature in the room of such a volume allows it to be in it without outerwear. To connect the heat gun, you need a good quality cable with the appropriate section.
Ballu BKX-3
The leading positions of this gun are provided with its good operational qualities. With a very modest dimensions of the heat transfer apparatus is large enough, which is explained by the use of a ceramic heating element. Low noise figure makes use of this device possible even in residential areas. The ventilation mode without heating allows you to significantly increase the service life of this heat gun.
The low price of the device is an additional nice bonus.
Ballu BHP-P-3
This powerful gun has several operating modes:
- only ventilation;
- incomplete heating;
- full power.
The body of the product is made of high strength steelIt is built on the principle of double plating, which makes dangerous metal heating impossible.The shape of the device contributes to the creation of a natural draft of the air flow. The small and reliable metal mesh protects the heating element from the suction of foreign objects.
