The class of infrared heaters operating on gas classes includes devices that are heated by the room through infrared radiation. The first such heater was created by Gunther Shvancom in Germany of the thirties of the last century. The main indicator of the effectiveness of such a heater is radiant efficiency.
Infrared heaters
It shows the percentage of energy that has passed into heat, for heating the necessary zone, usually 80%. Gas heaters consist of a case where the air mixture is formed, and ceramic tiles, on which perforation is applied. Air-gas mixture is burned on tiles. There is another design – tubular heaters, consisting of a booby burner, with the same principle of mixing the air mixture and gases, and metal radiating pipes, where the burning of the air -gas mixture is underway.
Due to the compactness of the device, ease of installation and simplicity of the device, such heaters are very popular in tourism. They are very easy to transport, thanks to small weight. The main fuel for gas infrared heaters is liquefied propane.
Heating such heaters is really economical, environmentally friendly and safe today. Thanks to the microwaves in the composition of infrared radiation, the surrounding air does not heat up, and only objects in the field of action of the heater are heated.
The heater in 20 minutes will heat the room 25 square meters. m to a comfortable temperature, and even a man of advanced age can cope with the management.
Modern infrared heaters are equipped with a security system, gas control sensors turn off the heater if the wick goes out if the flames of the burner are stronger than a given or concentration of excreted carbon dioxide will exceed 1.5%.
Modern infrared heaters
Since heaters emit carbon dioxide and burn oxygen to use them only in a well -ventilated room. Consume such heaters about 100-300 grams of fuel per hour. There are special street models of the IR gas heater for heating open cafes, sites, terraces.
They are able to heat up to 6 square meters of an area from 10 to 25 degrees, and look like a decorative “umbrella”, which successfully fits into the interior. The operation of the gas infrared heater is provided by cylinders with liquefied propane volume of 5, 12 or 27 liters. The heater tolerates temperature changes well, thanks to the stainless steel body.
