Natural gas heat guns. Gas heat guns Gas guns on low pressure main gas

A gas heat gun is a highly efficient heating device that operates on natural gas. They are usually used as construction equipment. You can also buy a gas heating gun for temporary or permanent replacement of the heating system.

Features of the device and use

With the help of such a device you can heat any room - from a balcony to a large production workshop. They heat greenhouses, warehouses, production facilities, workshops, even residential premises.

This device looks like a metal cylinder. Inside it is a combustion chamber designed to burn fuel. Natural gas is used as fuel. Today, manufacturers offer several varieties of such devices. They can use mains or bottled gas.

Types and benefits

You can purchase a natural gas heat gun with direct or indirect heating. Some of them use a cylinder to supply gas. Devices are also produced into which fuel is supplied from centralized network. Direct heating devices are not suitable for residential premises. With their help, you can heat a garage or warehouse. In residential premises, indirect heating guns are used, which do not pollute the air.

Fuel for such products is inexpensive, unlike electric models. Other advantages include quick heating of the room, high efficiency, mobility, lack of sensitivity to temperature changes, affordable price gas guns.

The name “gun” was not given to these devices by chance. In terms of impact efficiency and heating speed, other thermal equipment cannot be compared with heat guns. The generated powerful flow of hot air can heat a room literally within a couple of minutes, and the scope of application of heat guns is not limited to heating. Heat guns are used to operate different kinds fuel or electricity. One of the most energy efficient among all types of this equipment are gas heat guns running on liquefied natural gas.

The main advantages of gas heat guns are:

  • high power;
  • environmental Safety;
  • efficiency - with high heating efficiency, the gas gun uses one of the cheapest types of fuel for its operation;
  • mobility;
  • durability;
  • reliability.

Due to their technical and operational advantages, gas heat guns have wide scope applications. Such heaters are used to service large industrial premises, hangars, workshops, garages, warehouse facilities, semi-enclosed parking areas, loading and unloading areas, etc. Gas guns are actively used to heat greenhouses, greenhouses, and agricultural farms. Such guns are indispensable on construction sites, where they are used by builders to dry ceilings and walls.

One of the main advantages of a heat gun operating on liquefied gas is safety for environment and the absence of harmful combustion products, incl. unpleasant odors, smoke and soot. This is why she better side differs from models running on gasoline, fuel oil and other similar types of fuel. From electric guns it is distinguished by the lower cost of energy spent on heating, as evidenced by numerous user reviews.

Air heating is good because it does not require installation. One of the popular options for utility and industrial premises is a gas heat gun. This device quickly warms up the air, however, it cools down just as quickly when the gun is turned off.

Device

This heating device is called a cannon for a reason: it is a cylinder on a support; more massive models have wheels for easier movement. Compact models are equipped with a special carrying handle. During operation, the case heats up to significant temperatures, so you shouldn’t touch it.

Device of direct heating gas guns

There is a fan in a cylindrical housing, followed by a burner behind it (closer to the “exit”). Air is sucked in from the back of the housing, passes through the fan, blowing the burner. Gas is supplied to the burner, which is ignited by ignition. The gas is mixed with the air flow, which promotes more complete combustion.

Gas heat gun good quality designed so that even at the highest power the flame does not extend beyond the body. There should be only a stream of hot air at the outlet. As you can see, the device is not too complicated and its operating principle is simple. The design is complemented by filters - air and fuel, various sensors and safety devices.

Indirectly heated gas guns

The main disadvantage of the above design is that combustion products remain in the room. It is clear that this has a negative impact on well-being and, as a result, on overall health. But this option has a very high efficiency - 95-98%. Therefore, these are the models that are chosen in production or for temporary use.

There are gas guns without exhaust. More precisely, the exhaust is removed from the room through a pipe. The design of such models is more complex. The combustion chamber is the same cylinder, only it is sealed in relation to the room. In the upper part it has an outlet pipe through which combustion products are removed. Heating occurs due to the fact that the air driven by the fan blows through the combustion chamber, taking away heat from the walls. That’s why these models are called indirect heating heat guns. First, the heat exchanger heats up, and the air from it heats up.

To ensure more complete heat extraction, gas from the combustion chamber moves through a labyrinth. This increases the efficiency, but this figure still does not rise above 80-85%. But such installations do not harm health, they can be used on a long-term basis.

At the moment, the range of indirectly heated gas guns is very scarce, and prices are high. First of all, these devices are aimed at large production and warehouse premises.

Gas gun indirect heating Ballu JUMBO 200 T LPG. Maximum power - 220.9 kW, price - 512,000 rubles

Advantages and disadvantages

Let us remind you once again: a gas heat gun is not intended for use as permanent heating. It is great for quickly heating up a cold cottage, garage, etc. It performed well when heating buildings under construction. Can be used to speed up the drying of plaster and other mixtures (where technology allows it). But you should not use the unit for constant heating of a residential building.


Now the cons:

  • It burns oxygen, so good ventilation is essential.
  • Officially, refilling the cylinder is problematic (this is prohibited at gas stations);
  • The expense is high.
  • If the cylinder is in the cold, it burns poorly.
  • Some models are very noisy.
  • Electricity is required (for the fan to operate).
  • The temperature in front of the nozzle of a working gun is very high.
  • With half the gas in the cylinder, problems may begin: it often goes out. But this problem is typical for small-capacity cylinders. When using 50-liter ones everything is fine.

As you can see, far from perfect option. But to quickly remove the premises from subzero temperature in the positive - very good. For example, when you arrive at a dacha that is heated by a stove, do not freeze until it warms up, but turn on the gas heat gun and after 15-20 minutes you can undress. An alternative might be . It is perhaps better for a dacha, but you need to think about the garage and other technical premises.

Power selection

To roughly estimate the required power heating devices, counted by area. For a detached building in Middle Zone, requires 1 kW of heat per 10 square meters area. A gas heat gun is not intended for continuous heating. Usually it is taken to quickly warm up Utility room, cottage, garage, etc. Other devices are often used to maintain temperature. For this reason, traditional power calculations by area or volume are not suitable.

The formula for calculating the required power does not change:

  • V is the volume of the room (multiply the height, width and length):
  • dT is the temperature difference that needs to be ensured (you count the difference between the “starting temperature” from which you will begin to warm the air to the one you want to have in the room);
  • Kt - thermal conductivity coefficient of walls, floor and ceiling. At good insulation from 1 to 2; with poor thermal insulation from 3 to 4; with excellent insulation from 0.6 to 1.
  • 860 - kilocalories per 1 kW of heat.

It's easy to calculate. Let's give an example. A gas heat gun will heat a garage measuring 5 * 3.5 m, with a ceiling height of 3 m. The walls are one and a half bricks, only insulated metal gates. It is planned to increase the temperature from -10°C to +20°C. Substituting the initial data into the formula, we get:


In total, we found that this room could be heated by a 4.6 kW heat gun. But heating will last at least an hour - that’s how the formula is built. If you want to reduce the time, the power must be increased proportionally. If the time is halved (in 30 minutes), we multiply the power by two; to warm up in a quarter of an hour (15 minutes), the found power must be multiplied by 4:

  • 9.2 kW will be warmed up in 30 minutes;
  • in 15 minutes - 18.4 kW.

The above calculation is approximate, but it allows you to estimate the required parameters. For those who don’t like to count, there are tables in which everything has already been calculated. But they are given “on average” without taking into account the characteristics of your buildings. You will have to take into account the necessary parameters yourself, choosing from the proposed “fork” of capacities.

Criterias of choice

Power is far from the only parameter that determines the choice. A gas heat gun still has a sufficient number of characteristics that are worth paying attention to.

Protective functions

Open fire and gas are a dangerous combination. In the case of a gas heat gun, there is also the possibility of poisoning carbon monoxide. So additional security measures are not superfluous. Here's what defense mechanisms may have this equipment:

  • Protection of the electric motor from overheating. The temperature of the fan motor is monitored. When critical values ​​are reached, the gas is shut off. Reactivation only possible after the engine has cooled down.
  • Flame control. If there is no flame on the burner, the gas supply valve closes.
  • Protection against gas leaks. Cost of the analyzer atmospheric air. If the CO content is exceeded or the amount of oxygen is insufficient, the equipment is switched off.
  • Rollover control. When the position changes, the gas supply is cut off. So, even if the heat gun falls, a fire is unlikely.

The only thing that may raise doubts is air control. Since the sensor is built-in, the state directly near the device is analyzed, which can distort the real data. Therefore, it is better to have a separate detector. Detectors (sensors) are inexpensive and can be programmed.

Performance characteristics

Power is far from the only parameter that characterizes the operation of gas heat guns. There are a few more that are simply necessary to understand how efficiently the unit will work.

As you can see, there are quite a few options. Not all are obvious, some can be missed, but in general, pay attention to them.

Ease of use

Despite the fact that outwardly one heat gas gun is practically no different from another, some are convenient to use, others are not. This can be tracked using the following criteria.


Once again, we draw your attention to the fact that a gas heat gun is intended for rooms in which people are not constantly present. With sufficient power, it will very quickly heat the air even in a frozen room. But after turning it off, it cools down just as quickly: only the air heated up, and not the walls and other enclosing structures. However, as a means of rapid heating, it is very effective (although it consumes a lot of fuel).

Manufacturers

The hardest part when buying is not choosing power or characteristics. This is, of course, important, but more important is the quality of the equipment. And it often depends on the manufacturer. Gas guns are no exception. Few people would agree to spend too much money on this equipment—the option is temporary. Usually they choose according to the price/quality criterion. “Half-Chinese” fit this category. These are those whose management is located in Europe-America, and production in China. Russian gas guns are in approximately the same category. Here is a list of popular brands:


It cannot be said that all models from the manufacturers listed above are successful. There are some that are very good, but there are some that are just so-so.

Guns for suspended ceilings

Despite the fact that when installing suspended ceilings it is safer to use electric heat guns, they are more popular gas models direct heating. This is due to the fact that gas guns have higher power and efficiency.

As a rule, professional “ceiling artists” have guns of different power in their arsenal - under different area ceilings. If we're talking about For rooms up to 20 m², a heat gun with a power of about 15 kW is sufficient. For example, Master BLP 17 M (16 kW) and Ballu BHG-20 (17 kW) are suitable. In small spaces it is more convenient to work with compact guns. As for safety, many experts recommend using composite cylinders.

If more is required universal option, then a direct heating gas gun with a power of 30-50 kW will be optimal. For example, RESANTA TGP-30000 (30 kW) or Master BLP 33 M (33 kW).

Classic heaters will not be able to provide heat to a room the way a gas heat gun can. It very quickly increases the air temperature in almost any room - residential, utility, warehouse, etc. Manufacturers offer many models that can satisfy the tastes of all customers.

You can feel the positive effect of the equipment literally in a matter of minutes if you run the device at maximum power. Such a device is powered by gas, and a heat fan provides circulation to the heated air. Due to its high efficiency, a gas gun for heating rooms is an economical way to increase the temperature.

Introduction to modern heaters

Demand for quality systems heating increases significantly towards the beginning of autumn. Not always turned on on time central heating or some kind of breakdown with it can delay the offensive heating season. A heat gun will be very appropriate for such a case.

She is also capable of acting as auxiliary equipment during construction or renovation. The hot air flow ensures rapid evaporation of moisture from almost any surface. The heated flow is obtained as a result of combustion of gas supplied from a cylinder or from a centralized network.

The equipment can operate on both main and bottled fuel

The device is a relatively small cylindrical device with a streamlined, protected body. The front part is equipped with a protective mesh through which the heated air jet. The gas heat gun also has the following components:

  • fixed power burner;
  • metal multi-blade fan;
  • control unit;
  • metal heat exchanger;
  • ignition system;
  • safety thermostat;
  • additional devices, applied depending on the model.

What types of thermal gas guns are there?

To do right choice When choosing the optimal gas heater, you should familiarize yourself with the samples offered in online stores or construction supermarkets. The products can meet the needs of both small rooms and large buildings with large internal cubic capacity.

With all the variety of manufacturers, gas heat guns for residential premises are available in two versions: direct and indirect heating.

Equipment belonging to each of these groups is available for use in household and industrial conditions. The difference lies in appearance and function.

A direct heating heater does not have high-quality filtration that can clean the output stream from soot and soot. They quickly burn out oxygen in small rooms. It is permissible to use such equipment only in places where there is effective natural or high-quality artificial ventilation.

Directly heated TPG

In addition to this disadvantage, there are positive qualities:

  • high efficiency, capable of exceeding 90%;
  • low electricity consumption;
  • reduced demand for fuel.

The indirectly heated gas gun has a ring heat exchanger. It is the basic heating product in the design. The operation of the installation is that everything happens according to the following algorithm:

  • gas liquefaction;
  • liquefaction of toxic components;
  • emission of combustion products through the built-in chimney.

This type of equipment is the most environmentally acceptable. In this regard, the use of indirect heating systems is more in demand. The downside, according to customer reviews, is the presence of a built-in chimney, which slightly complicates the movement of equipment and reduces mobility.

Performance characteristics

In order to achieve maximum results, it is worth knowing how to use a gas heat gun correctly. Manufacturers have taken care to simplify this process. The procedure is carried out according to the following scheme:

  • inside working area a burner is installed, to which hydrocarbon gas flows gas fuel;
  • due to ignition devices, a flame is formed on the burner;
  • the fan blades force a flow from outside onto the heated heat exchanger;
  • the blocking function, which helps the system not to overheat and fail, is provided by the thermostat;
  • Having brought the surrounding atmosphere to a predetermined temperature, which is measured by a built-in thermometer, the switch breaks the electrical circuit.

According to the output power parameters and the available area of ​​the room, it is easy to calculate the desired value in Watts gun. To heat a 1 m2 apartment with an average ceiling of 2.5 m, 0.1 kW of power is sufficient. Warm up accordingly small room in 25-30 m 2 a 3 kW device can do it.

Equipment design

Most popular for living conditions are gas guns of a mobile type. They are equipped with convenient handles and wheels for transportation. Stationary heating equipment is equipped with large gas cylinder, problematic for fast movement. Its dimensions affect the duration uninterrupted operation. Such installations are considered obsolete.

Natural gas (methane) guns provide the desired microclimate in the room. They can also be used in garage conditions to create an optimal temperature balance. Often it is their builders who use them to work with suspended ceilings.

The built-in fan speeds up the air supply to consumers. The existing thermostat limits the heating.

A heat gun using liquefied gas (propane) is noisier in operation. Sometimes you can hear its second name “thunder”. It is used as environmentally friendly equipment not only for heating, but also for scaring away wild animals or flocks of annoying birds.

For indirectly heated equipment permissible level noise is a value of 40 dB.

Modern heat guns are distinguished by maximum operating efficiency - the efficiency of the device is more than 90%, which no other similar equipment can boast of. It is also important that the burnt gas is not released into the surrounding area, that is, there is no risk of poisoning, and if the unit is used for greenhouses, winter gardens and other premises, the plants will not experience discomfort.

When choosing a model, you should consider whether it operates only from mains gas or whether it is possible to connect cylinders. In this case, the efficiency of the device is completely 100%.

In order for the TGP to cope with the assigned tasks, it is necessary to correctly determine its power in accordance with the area and purpose of the room. Next, the thermal insulation of the room is important - if there is heat loss, the power should be increased by 10-15% depending on the percentage of heat leakage.

The greater the power of the TPG, the faster it heats the room.

Be sure to find out the fuel consumption in order to calculate its amount in advance for smooth operation. If there is a possibility of a power outage in the area, you should pay attention to models that do not require connection to the electrical network - here the piezoelements function in autonomous mode.

It is strictly forbidden to make repairs gas equipment with your own hands without special knowledge. For warranty and post-warranty service and repairs, you should contact specialized organizations.
