Heat gun Ballu bkx 3

Heat guns are successfully used for heating industrial, utility and residential premises. The principle of their operation is in many ways similar to a fan heater.

Varieties of heaters brand Vallu

According to the reviews of equipment sellers, this brand has won a high score among many manufacturers of thermal equipment. Units are used for heating rooms and construction sites.

Depending on the type of energy consumed, Balu brand heat guns are divided into three types:

• Appliances powered by electricity are usually used to heat residential and other premises. At the construction site, they are practically not used. The design and operation of the device resembles an electric fan heater. A heating element is installed inside a cylindrical or rectangular body. The fan pushes air through the heater, which is directed to the object through the gun nozzle. Electric guns have the lowest cost among units powered by other types of fuel. During operation, the appliance does not burn oxygen, but cannot be used at facilities where there is no connection to the mains.
• Balu diesel heat gun can be of direct and indirect type of heating. The design of the first unit is arranged so that the fire is located directly near the nozzle. Direct heating allows to achieve high efficiency, as the outlet temperature rises to 600^оC. However, together with the heat, combustion products come out of the nozzle, so such heaters are not used in residential premises. The torch of the gun of indirect heating is located in the combustion chamber. The passing air is heated by its metal walls. The products of combustion are discharged through the outlet hose. Indirect heaters are less efficient, but they work safely in rooms where people stay.

  

• The device of gas heat guns is similar to diesel units. The main difference is work from other type of fuel. The heater is able to function from a cylinder with propane-butane and natural gas supplied from the main.

Each type of heat gun is produced in different capacities, which allows the consumer to choose the right model for heating the object.
