Heat guns with ceramic heating element

Volumetric air heater, working by forcing hot air flow into different rooms, was called a gun. Among household appliances of different power, one of the most popular is an electric heat gun with ceramic heaters.

Merits

Such heat guns operate on 220 V mains, and heating elements made of ceramics are used as a heating element.. Due to the created circulation of hot air, rooms of any area quickly heat up - this was adopted by the owners of greenhouses, where the heat gun found its practical and constant use. It is also used by:

• during construction work for fast drying of various surfaces;
• in heating hangars for storage of aircraft for various purposes.

Such equipment has many positive qualities:

1. Rapid heating of the room due to the circulation of hot air.
2. Ceramic heaters provide natural purity and freshness of heated air.
3. The duration of the mode of application.
4. The heat gun has a top handle for easy carrying.
5. There is a patented overheating protection that prevents unwanted sudden fire.
6. Peculiar unique product design.
7. Small body volume and lightness of the whole structure.
8. Low noise exposure and availability of use.
9. Stable safety and ecology.

The heat gun has only one drawback: it cannot be used in places where there is no real possibility of connecting to the electric current network.

Design and principle of operation

Heat gun is a product specially designed for quick heating of various rooms or high-quality drying of various construction technological operations.

The name appeared due to the fact that the unit looks like a small artillery howitzer firing hot air instead of a projectile.

An ordinary gun with a ceramic heating element has a standard design:

• highly durable metal body, not subject to corrosion;
• powerful fan located in the back of the case;
• one or more ceramic heaters;
• thermostat that prevents the device from overheating;
• thermostat providing autonomous operation of the product;
• sometimes the unit is additionally equipped with air purification filters.

This design allows the device to operate in offline, without human intervention, as there are certain settings. As soon as the room heats up to the set temperature, the device shuts off, if the temperature drops, the product again starts to pump hot air.

The principle of operation of the device is quite simple:

• heating ceramic element produces heat, its power up to 2 kW;
• the fan, sucking in outside air from the rear of the product, drives it through the heated elements, as a result of which the air flow takes heat from the heating element and enters the room.

The working cycle is repeated many times until this object is heated to the set temperature, after which the gun is turned off. On some samples of heat fans, manufacturers make special adjustable blinds on the sides of the case, with the help of them you can adjust the flow of hot air to different places of the heated room.

For the sake of safety, the products are sometimes staffed with special switches for the mode of summer or winter use. This improvement allows you to effectively distribute the voltage, and for places with high humidity apply special units splashproof design.

Varieties of heat fans

In the Russian market of heating equipment, a heat gun with ceramic heating elements is represented by many manufacturers, and users have a natural question: which unit to choose, so that there will be no regrets? There are different technical indicators, depending on the manufacturer:

• the body of the product is in the form of a cylinder or rectangular;
• body coatings also have significant differences;
• air flow rate, which greatly affects performance;
• the power of the heater is changed by stepwise or smooth switching;
• the number of revolutions of the fan.

In addition, electric heat fans are of two types.

1. Portable view. Such an electric unit is used for seasonal heating of various premises - garages, hangars, workshops and one workshop stations and construction sites. Their power varies from 3 to 30 kW. The body, as a rule, is made of anti-corrosion material, there is an additional protection against mechanical impact.
2. Stationary guns. It is used for space heating of a large area, powerful and easy to install, have several temperature regimes and built-in automation. The heating element is a tubular hermetically sealed PETN of high power.

The first type has a massive use in residential areas, because it takes up little space, works almost silently, is lightweight, consumes little electrical energy.

Ceramic gun do it yourself

Of course, many home craftsmen are interested in the question of whether to make such a heat gun with their own hands? Let's say right away - the savings will be insignificant:

• the cheapest ceramic heating element will cost you 900 rubles;
• fan with an electric motor, you can insert the old from a vacuum cleaner;
• the body must be anticorrosive, and this is already a small, but a problem;
• all internal wiring, switch toggle and speed control will be in the garage;
• It is also easy to make the wire for connecting to the network for garage masters - you need to know the calculations for the power of the connected unit.

In the end, all the costs are insignificant, but how about fire safety? After all, the factory device has a certificate for use in residential premises, not to mention the garages and other industrial facilities.

The lowest price of a portable heat gun is 1.5 thousand rubles, so it is better to purchase a factory product with a guarantee of quality.

We buy a decent option

In order to choose among the abundance of options for heat guns with ceramic heating elements, it is necessary to calculate the power of the future device at home depending on the size of the floor space.

There is a special table for this, where the selection technique is quite simple: to heat a room of 10 square meters.meters you will need a unit with a capacity of at least 1.0-1.3 kW. For large areas, choose a more powerful gun, respectively.

When choosing a heat fan in a specialized store, you should follow these recommendations:

1. It is necessary to carefully examine all the technical data of the product - in this case, do not rush.
2. Check availability overheating protection unit.
3. Ceramic heating element in the factory device saves the environment and humidity in your apartment.
4. Require the seller certificate for the product, even though it is made in China, but the guarantee should be.

For the final choice, we present the basic tactical and technical data of some ceramic heat guns for production or at home.
