Choosing a gas cannon in the garage

In some garage arrays, the wiring may not withstand the simultaneous connection of an electric heater and, for example, any power tool, and as a result, overload protection will work.

To create heat, you can use an autonomous heating system using, for example, a gas cannon.

Using a gas cannon for a garage allows you to quickly warm up the garage, provided that its power is selected taking into account its area. Excess power will waste gas, and the lack of power will not be able to properly warm up the room. Usually 1 kilowatt is capable of heating 10 m2 of area.

Heating turns out to be more economical, thanks to the use of gas, it is enough to put 1 large cylinder, which is usually enough for a fairly long time. Typically, 0.5 liters of gas is wasted with a gas cannon power of 10-12 kW. And if you reduce the gas supply with the help of the valve, then it may be enough for a longer time.

There is also a negative aspect of using this model:

• The gas burns out oxygen in the room quite intensively;
• In addition, prolonged combustion will contribute to the accumulation of combustion products, which is fraught with carbon monoxide poisoning;
• The garage should be well ventilated, or the gas cannon should be used periodically with regular ventilation of the garage.

The very first start of the gas gun should check the thoroughness of the connection of all elements in order to avoid gas leakage. The first start-up is best done on the street or with the garage door open, this is necessary in order for the factory grease to burn out.

The best heat guns for a garage

If you have the necessary communications, in particular electricity, you can use electrical. Although they do not heat the room so quickly, unlike gas, they are able to maintain a given temperature for a long time.

But, at the same time, electric guns have limited use, since many electrical networks in garage cooperatives may not withstand the additional load, which can lead to periodic power outages.

Also, the use of such models consumes quite a lot of electricity, which can lead to additional expenses. Diesel guns use diesel fuel for their work, as their name suggests.

Such heat guns:

• They are distinguished by high efficiency;
• Moreover, they are quite economical;
• They are easy to operate.

When using a cannon on diesel fuel, it is necessary to use supply and exhaust ventilation, if there is one, if not, then it is better to do it in order not to be poisoned by combustion products. You can use a diesel cannon of indirect heating, such options are effective, since, due to their design, the fuel completely burns out, and the heat passes through a special heat exchanger. Residual combustion products are discharged outside through a special pipe.

Some people use combined heating systems, for example, for quick heating, they use gas heaters, and for continuous heating, gasoline heat guns or solar oil. For heat guns to be effective, it is necessary to pre-insulate the garage so that the heat does not go out into the street. It should also be for good heating of the garage, select a heat gun according to the area of ​​the room.

Model overview

Having got acquainted with all the pros and cons of such units, you can try to stay on a specific model for the garage. The manufacturer in this matter plays the same important role as the technical characteristics of the device. By the way, it can also influence the pricing policy.

Today the most popular firms are:

1. Biemmedue - Italy.This company specializes in the production of heating equipment. Their products are distinguished by their reliability and long service life. Every detail is perfectly fitted so they don't break. The heaters are characterized by their compact dimensions and mobility.
2. Master. The company occupies one of the leading places in the world among manufacturers of portable heating systems, in particular heat guns. High-quality material is used not only inside the unit, but also outside.
3. Kroll - Germany. The Germans have always been distinguished by their exactingness to quality. And this undoubtedly manifested itself on their products. These guns have not only a beautiful design, but also built-in innovative technologies. In addition, the latest models even have the function of heating the fuel material, which allows the gun to operate even at low temperatures.

But popularity and quality come at a price. Therefore, all devices from the above companies are quite expensive.

And this is not the whole list of such equipment for the garage. There are also less popular models on the market. But it should be understood that the more famous the company is, the lower the likelihood of buying low-quality products. True, no one can insure against the acquisition of crafts. Therefore, in order not to throw money away, you should just buy a heat gun in a heating equipment store, where the seller will certainly be able to present all the necessary certificates for the products.

Which heat gun to choose for a garage

A garage is an uninhabited room, but, nevertheless, people are present in it, therefore, you should select a heater for the garage, not only based on the area and, as a result, a certain power of the heat gun for heating, but also for the safety of people.

So, for example, the use of a heat gun with direct combustion of fuel (gas, diesel) without the arrangement of advised ventilation can lead to sad consequences.

To avoid negative consequences, it is better to choose a heat gun that runs on fuel with an additional system for removing combustion products to the street. If the garage has good wiring that can withstand a certain load, then it is best to purchase an eclectic heat gun or fan heater to heat the garage.

Features:

1. Most of the models sold in stores are designed to be installed on the floor, but, nevertheless, there are models that can be installed on any elevation or broadcast on the wall.
2. If the garage space is large, then you can choose floor models, but if not, then you should take a closer look at more compact models.
3. The second important point when choosing a heat gun is its power, so that it maintains the optimal temperature in the room.
4. It is believed that for every 10 m2 a power of 1 kW is needed. That is, in other words, for an average static garage, the power of a heat gun of 3-5 kW is sufficient, provided that it is insulated.

Some people use combined garage heating, for rapid heating with advised ventilation, use a gas heat gun or diesel fuel, and other models, such as electric ones, to maintain a constant temperature.

How to calculate the capacity of the equipment?

An important factor influencing the preference for a particular product is power. This indicator ranges from 20 to 220 kW. To calculate the unit with what power is required, you need to calculate the volume of the room. For this, the height, width and length of the walls are determined. You should also know the quality of the thermal insulation carried out. This coefficient will differ for non-insulated brick and wooden buildings, as well as for buildings with increased thermal insulation. For calculations, it is worth determining the difference in temperature values ​​inside and outside the building. In this case, the power of the device is calculated as follows, the volume of the room is multiplied by the temperature difference and by the coefficient of thermal insulation.

This table will help you determine the appropriate power.

Waste oil heat gun models will be an excellent solution for heating any room.

Tips: which heat gun is better, gas or diesel

The choice of such a machine depends on why a heat gun is needed, to quickly warm up the room in a short time, or to maintain a certain temperature as much as needed. If, for example, you use a gas cannon, you can achieve rapid heating of the room.

But it is not recommended to keep it on all the time in a closed room, especially without ventilation, since it burns out oxygen and you can get poisoned with carbon monoxide after a while.

The same goes for a direct-fired diesel cannon, but if good ventilation is made, it is safe for humans to use such heat guns.When it comes to saving and quickly warming up the room, you should use gas cannons, with adequate ventilation in the room, since they consume a small amount of gas for their work. And if a gas main is laid in the garages, to which you can connect, then such guns pay off very quickly.

Diesel heat gun, or as it is also called solar, has a simple design:

• Fuel tank;
• Burner;
• The combustion chamber;
• Fan.

In addition, such structures are equipped with a timer, thermostat, and combustion control systems. Fuel is supplied using a nozzle or compressor, after which the fuel is ignited in the combustion chamber. It is best to use a cannon for a garage, equipped with a pipe for exhausting exhaust gases to the street.
