We put on the heat! Electric heat gun 220 V changes the climate in your favor

Tags:

The presence of electrical energy allows a modern person not only to illuminate his home, cook food and use household appliances, as well as appliances of various directions, but also provide himself with heat, for which there is a large number of electrical heating devices that differ in their design, technical characteristics and purpose. The 220 V electric heat gun helps maintain a pleasant microclimate in those rooms where frost penetrates in winter. It can be a dressing room at home or a hall of a huge store, it doesn't matter - a comfortable above-zero temperature in the room will be provided even in the most severe winter. However, at first glance, not everything is as simple as it seems. Equipment of this type is distinguished by its specificity and features of installation and operation. Today in our review we will learn how to choose, install and use heat guns and where to buy them cheaply.

Electric heat gun 220 V

There are a large number of models on the market for electric heaters for household use, differing in design, purpose and technical characteristics.

Fields of application of electric heat guns 220V

An electric heat gun is a technical device that converts electrical energy into thermal energy due to a fan in the design, which ensures active circulation of air flows in a heated room. The active movement of air flows makes it possible to achieve rapid heating of the room where such a heating device is installed, and it is this ability (to quickly warm up a certain volume of closed space) that is used in various spheres of life of a modern person.

Devices of this type, designed for an operating voltage of 220 volts, are used for:

  • quick warm-up cottages, country house or garage, after a long absence of users, with the heating system, if any;
  • drying of premises - during the production of construction and installation works at the stage of finishing these premises in the autumn-spring period;
  • heating greenhouses and other agricultural objects, especially during the spring frost to save seedlings and in the fall - to preserve the harvest and prolong the fruiting period;
  • performance of certain technical works related to the heating of workpieces or workpieces (car painting, installation stretch ceilings etc.).

Advantages and Disadvantages of Air Heater Electric Gun

Among different types of heaters, differing in their design and types of fuel used (gas, liquid fuel, coal, firewood, etc.), heat guns have a number of undeniable advantages, even in comparison with other types of electrical appliances, which can be formulated as follows :

  1. The ability to quickly heat up an enclosed air space.
  2. The ability to work from a household electrical network with a voltage of 220 volts.
  3. Small size and weight make devices of this type transportable and mobile.
  4. When used, no exhaust gases and other products of processing of raw materials are generated that require disposal.
  5. Low noise level allows for use in rooms where people are.
  6. The simplicity of the design makes it easy to use and maintain.
  7. The relatively low cost makes the models available to different categories of users.

Among the shortcomings, the following indicators should be noted:

  • To use this type of heater, you must have an electrical network corresponding to the voltage class of the device used.
  • The current costs of paying bills for used electricity are usually higher than when using other types of fuel (gas, wood, etc.).

The device of an electric gun for heating premises

The design of an electric heat gun, operating from a household electrical network with a voltage of 220 volts, is quite simple and represents a body in which other structural elements are located:

  • Heating elements serving as heating elements of the device;
  • a fan that provides the required air flow circulation.
Important! To protect against accidents and ensure fire safety, protective grilles are mounted on the outside of the housing, and for ease of use - a handle that allows you to carry the heating device.

To ensure various modes of operation, the devices are equipped with regulators, allowing to turn on the required number of heating elements, which allows you to control the temperature of the heated air, as well as the fan speed, thereby regulating the frequency of air exchange in the heated room.

The principle of operation of the air electric gun-heater

The principle of operation of an electric heat gun

The principle of operation of an electric air gun is shown in the following figure and is carried out as follows:

  • an axial fan (No. 2 in the figure) sucks in cold air (No. 3) and directs it to heating elements (No. 7), which can be various types of heating elements or a spiral;
  • When voltage is applied to them, heating elements heat up and transfer their heat to the air flowing around them, as a result of which the air at the outlet of the device (No. 5) is much warmer than at the inlet;
  • to protect the heating elements and safe operation of the device, protective grilles (No. 6) are installed at the entry and exit points;
  • the electrical control circuit, as well as devices designed to adjust the operating modes, are mounted in the control unit (No. 8);
  • there is a handle (no. 1) on its body for carrying the gun, and special legs (no. 4) for stability during use.
 

The heating elements used in such devices have a complex, spiral shape, which makes it possible to increase the contact area of ​​the heating element with the air flows passing through it. The operating modes are set using the control elements, and the stability of the device is achieved by means of the device of the legs - for models of low power or wheels - for more powerful modifications. The connection to the mains is made using a cable equipped with a standard plug.

General technical characteristics of electric heat guns

The main technical characteristics of such heating devices, on the basis of which the consumer can make his choice and decide on the advisability of purchasing a particular model, are the following indicators:

  • voltage class - single-phase or three-phase device connection diagram;
  • electric power, is measured in kilowatts (kW) and determines the ability to connect to a specific electrical network, as well as the amount of energy consumed per unit of time;
  • heating area - depends on the electrical power of the device and indicates what area of ​​the room can be heated by a specific model of the heating device;
  • performance, measured in m2 per hour (m2/ hour) and characterizes the area of ​​the room that the heat gun is capable of heating during this period of time;
  • dimensions;
  • weight.

How to choose a 220V electric heat gun

When choosing a model of a heat gun operating at a voltage of 220 Volts, the following indicators will be the main selection criteria:

  • technical characteristics of a particular model;
  • the number of operating modes, both in relation to temperature and speed of the supplied air;
  • availability of protection and security systems;
  • the ability to use in automatic mode;
  • the level of noise generated during use;
  • the purpose of the heating device and the type of heated room - for a summer residence or a house, for a garage or for construction work;
  • reliability and quality of performance of a specific model, guaranteed by the manufacturer's brand;
  • cost.
