Fan heaters are devices designed to warm up rooms. They are household and industrial. The latter are usually dominated by size and power, because they are intended for rapid heating garages, office and industrial premises with a large area.

Principle of operation and the scope of industrial fan heaters

Inside the case of any fan heater, heating element, engine, fan are enclosed. The operation of the device consists in forced air drawage, its heating when passing through the heating element and the emission back into the atmosphere. To prevent overheating of the device, it is usually equipped with sensors controlling the temperature. The power level is also adjustable, there are special switches for this. Some models of fan heaters are equipped with an emergency shutdown system, some can rotate from side to side, in order for air heating uniformly. Industrial fan heater is capable not only to heat the air indoors, but also to maintain its temperature.

This device can be the main and only source of heat, and can be used in addition to existing ones.

The scope of fan heaters is quite extensive. Cases in which they successfully apply:

• household use consists in heating garages, workshops, as well as instead of an additional source of heat in a residential building;

• in the field of trade for heating outlets, tents and stalls;

• in the industrial area to maintain the temperature of the desired level in the workshops, hangars and warehouses;

• in the field of agriculture in order to create optimal conditions for the growth and development of plants in greenhouses and greenhouses, as well as for heating the premises, which contain cattle and use on elevators;

• in the fields, for heating the workers' tent camps;

• at construction site for winter concreting, as well as to maintain a temperature favorable to perform the finishing of the room.

Types of industrial fan heaters

By type of heating element, fan heaters are divided into several types:

1. Electric. The most common option, which is currently most preferable for the majority. To ensure its work, you need to connect to the source of electricity. Electric fan heaters may have different power to be taken into account, relying on the purpose and size of the heated room. For industrial use, there are very powerful electrical models of this device, which can function for a long time without interruptions, heating shops and hangars or maintaining the desired temperature in them. Electric fan heaters are different types:

• spiral. The heating element in them is a metal spiral. These devices are relatively cheap, but there are some disadvantages. First, they are very hot through the spirals and can cause a fire. Secondly, when the dust falls inside the device, it begins to exhibit an unpleasant smell;

• convectable. In terms of its structure, they look like spirals, but their work occurs at a completely different principle. The device uses the natural movement of air, so it is installed on the floor. Convector fan heaters are effective, convenient and easy to use, well-hazardous and environmentally friendly;
• ceramic. In these devices, the heating element serves ceramic plates, thanks to which such devices are profitably highlighted against the background of themselves. Ceramic plates do not heat up more than up to 100 degrees, which makes the fan heater safe and reliable. At the same time, it is not embossed to use and is very effective;
• heat guns. These are professional devices for heating large areas, such as workshops. In their housing, in addition to the heating element there is also a powerful fan that provides air intake. The larger the room you want to drop, the more powerful the device will be required. 2. Water. The design of the water fan heater involves the presence of a radiator heating the air in the room, and the fan that distributes it. At the same time, air heating occurs due to heat exchange between water and air. For uniform warm-up warm-up areas, you need to use several such devices. Water Industrial Fan Heater can be equipped with a car system responsible for maintaining the required temperature. The instruments of this design are indispensable in cases where it is important to save electricity and at the same time get high performance. This becomes achievable due to the use of hot water. Also, water fan heaters are very good if you need to quickly warm the room with a large area or to maintain a certain temperature level on local areas. The advantages of such equipment are in reliability, convenience, efficiency and simplicity. So that it functioned, a source of hot water is needed. Moreover, the power will depend on its temperature. 3. Gas. Such devices have high power and function due to either liquefied or natural gas. Gas fan heaters are two types:
• portable having a compact housing, handle and wheels. In power, they can reach 100 kW, but such devices require extremely careful and cautious circulation;
• stationary, distinguished by impressive sizes and much more power - 1 MW and higher. Such a fan heater is equipped with a system of discharge combustion products and is usually installed in large rooms.

These devices consume little energy and at the same time are very effective. Therefore, they are indispensable when in a few minutes you need to get the necessary air temperature. Fan Heater Gas Industrial has the following advantages:

• the gas device is much more economical at the cost of heat than the remaining industrial fan heaters - electrical and water;
• helps to achieve effective energy savings and achieve quick room warming;
• atmospheric burners are designed in such a way that the emission of harmful substances into the air is minimized;
• it works quietly. 4. Diesel. They function due to diesel fuel. It burns, highlighting the energy that is spent on heating air. He also needs a source of electricity, which will launch the operation of the fan. Diesel devices are most often used at construction sites, in agriculture, in production. Such fan heaters are divided into models of direct heating and model of indirect heating, as well as infrared:
• the design of models of direct heating does not provide a system that outputs spent gases beyond the boundaries of the room. In this regard, such devices are suitable for use only on an open area or indoors with good ventilation;
• models of indirect heating make it possible to derive gases from heated room. Thanks to such a function, this device is used more widely - not only on the construction site, but also to maintain the temperature in greenhouses and cattle, grain drying, etc.
• infrared (radial). Such fan heaters are economical and very effective if local heating is needed, both in a large room and on the street. The infrared model is not heated by air, but the items that are nearby, in connection with this, the height of the ceilings is unimportant. Thus, the fuel is significantly saved, while the comfort of people does not suffer and completely all the premises are not heated. Hears only the plot that is necessary. With all this, the radial fan heaters are noisy, comfortable and compact, give the effect almost immediately, without waiting.

By type of installation, fan heaters are the following types:

• portable (mobile). They have small dimensions and middle power. This facilitates transportation, storage and installation. But such models are used primarily in everyday life;

• stationary, which are mounted on the floor, on the wall or on the ceiling. They are much more powerful and overall. They are inappropriate to be used in everyday life - power is enough for use in industry.

How to choose a fan heater

Before preferred, one of the types of fan heaters, you need to think for what purpose it will be used and what kind of progress. The power of the acquired equipment will depend on its magnitude. To warm the room with insulation, it takes 3 kW of power for every 100 sq.m. In case you plan to give a street object or room without insulation, then a much greater power model is necessary.

Often, manufacturers are written on packages or in heating instructions, which area is capable of the selected device. To achieve from the device maximum efficiency, you should strictly follow these instructions. At the inlet and outlet of the device, the air has different temperatures with a fairly large drop. The most heated air is in six-seven meters from the front of the fan heater.

Industrial fan heater is the most preferred heating device, because It is much more efficient than other devices.
