The text provides an overview of the most popular manufacturers and models of electrical devices.

Heat gun 220V and its device

High-quality heating of large rooms: garages, basements and other spaces will be provided by electric heat guns connected to the 220 Volt network. These devices have a high power rating, due to which they are able not only to quickly dry and warm the air, but also to keep the result obtained for a long time.

An electric gun is a heating equipment with a mobile or stationary design. These devices are used for industrial and domestic purposes.

The scope of their application extends to heating the following objects:

• warehouse space;
• Living spaces;
• garages;
• construction sites;
• production workshops, etc.

The assortment of modern stores includes devices designed for connection to a three-phase and two-phase network.Therefore, consumers have the opportunity to buy an electric heat gun 220V and 380V. Networks with two phases are common almost everywhere, mainly in urban apartments. Their voltage is 220V. Three-phase communication options are used to feed industrial facilities. In rare cases, homes from the private sector are powered by 380V networks.

Note! Electrical appliances are environmentally friendly and safe. Their operation is not accompanied by the release of exhaust gases and toxins. Therefore, it is allowed to use an electric gun to heat residential premises without a threat to human health.

The principle of operation of an electric heat gun 220V

The heat gun, which is powered by electricity, has a simple principle of operation. It is a ventilation device equipped with an air heating function. In addition to standard devices, there are guns with an infrared heating principle. Heat transfer in them is carried out through the use of infrared rays. Electrical devices are designed for operational heating of small areas. The exception is industrial electric heat guns, which have a high level of power and performance.

Standard products consist of the following components:

• a heating element;
• ventilation device;
• temperature controller.

Each of these components has a specific function. The heating element is of two types: tubular (heating element) and spiral. The first option is used much more often, since it has a longer service life than the spiral. In addition, the heating element burns out less oxygen in the process of heating the room.

The ventilation device generates air flows that pass through the heating element, and the thermostat regulates the room temperature. This component protects the structure from overheating. When the air temperature reaches the required value, the thermostat automatically cuts off the power supply.

How to choose a 220V electric heat gun according to technical parameters

The heat gun is installed on any horizontal surface. The structure can be moved if necessary.The device works almost silently, which does not negatively affect the tenants of the apartment or the working environment in the office. Its performance depends on the technical characteristics of the gun. To decide which heat gun is better, you should study its parameters.

Note! The first time a new gun is turned on, a slight odor may appear. This is considered normal. In the course of further operation, it will disappear.

When choosing a heating device, you need to pay attention to the following characteristics:

• power level;
• the presence or absence of the ability to adjust the power levels;
• fan performance;
• the speed with which the heated air flow leaves the structure;
• outlet air temperature;
• voltage in the electrical network;
• number of operating modes;
• fire safety level;
• device dimensions;
• degree of mobility;
• decorative qualities;
• the level of noise exposure;
• additional functionality.

How to choose an electric heat gun: calculating the optimal power

To decide which heat gun to buy for the garage, you need to find out what power rating the structure should have. This takes into account the size of the room. For example, if the dimensions of the garage are 4x6 m, you can find the desired indicator by simple calculations.

First, the area of ​​the room is calculated. In this case, it is equal to 24 m². Experts recommend adding a small margin in the form of 20% of this value to the required power indicator. The result is: 2.4x1.2 = 2.88 kW. This means that for the indicated room the minimum power of the heat gun is 3 kW.

There is one more technique. It allows you to get a more accurate result. It is advisable to use this option to calculate the power of a heat electric gun for a house. In this case, the formula is based not on the area of ​​the room, but on the degree of thermal conductivity of the walls and the volume of the room.

First you need to get the indicators necessary for the calculations:

1. Room volume (m³) - the area of ​​the room is calculated and then multiplied by the ceiling height.
2. The difference between outdoor and indoor temperatures.
3. Thermal conductivity coefficient of walls.

Material thermal conductivity table:

Wall material	Thermal conductivity coefficient
Surfaces with high quality thermal insulation	06,-1
Double-row brickwork or medium thermal insulation wall	1-2
Poorly insulated surfaces	2-3
Walls made of boards or profiled sheets (hangars)	3-4

 

To understand which heat gun to choose, it is enough to perform the necessary calculations, considering the same garage as an example. Room volume: 4х6х3 = 72 m³. If outside the building the temperature is -20 ° C, and inside - 15 ° C, then the difference will be 35 °. Taking 1 as the coefficient of insulation, we get: 35x72x1 = 2520 kcal / hour. 1 kW contains 860 kcal.

The result must be divided by 860 kcal and the result is 2.93 kW. If we consider that the power of the gun is taken with a margin, then a device with 3.5 kW is required for such a room.

Useful advice! You should not buy a cannon with a high power rating for your home. Such devices drive a strong air flow, so they will create a lot of noise during operation.

How to choose a heat gun: voltage and duration

Working voltage is another characteristic that needs attention.There are units on the market with a power exceeding 20 kW. For the operation of such structures, a three-phase electrical network is required, where the voltage is 380V. If you intend to buy just such a heat gun for heating, you must definitely take care of replacing the wiring with a more powerful version.

Structures with a power not exceeding 7 kW can be powered from a 220V network, provided that the wire cross-section is designed for such loads. Before connecting the heat gun, it is advisable to calculate the optimal cable cross-section, taking into account power and current. This avoids wiring and shorting problems.

When choosing a heating device, be sure to pay attention to the duration of uninterrupted operation. The device is not able to work for a long time without shutdown, otherwise it will fail very quickly. For this reason, heat gun manufacturers mark their bodies as “24/1” or “24/2”. This means that the device is capable of working around the clock with a break of 1-2 hours, depending on the specified mark.

There are other technical characteristics that affect the operation. When choosing a device, it is imperative to pay attention to the level of noise exposure and the temperature range within which the gun is able to effectively carry out its work.

Note!The minimum operating temperature range for a quality device is 5-40 ° C.

The best models of electric heat guns 2 kW

“Great gun. Among the advantages I want to note the low price. The device works almost silently and does not take up much space. For a small room just right. I can't say that a heat gun is a basic necessity, but such a thing in the house will not be superfluous. The husband periodically uses it in his garage, although we also took it for the bath. When there are severe frosts outside, you cannot do without preliminary heating of the premises. Without this cannon, it took almost the whole day to kindle the bath, with the device a couple of hours are enough.

Elena Prodaivoda, Moscow

“Using the Resant welding machine in my garage. It's cold to work in winter, so I decided to buy myself a heat gun from the same company. A little disappointed. I have a good welding machine, of high quality. I didn't think it would be different with the gun. It is, of course, small and very quiet, but in fact the room heats up weakly, eats up a lot of electricity. I don’t know whether the heat guns themselves are not at all, or the model should have been taken more powerful. In general, that's how it costs me almost idle. Occasionally I use it to start a car engine. "

How to make your own electric heat gun

An electrical appliance for heating a room can be made independently. The simplest design consists of a heating element, a fan, and an electric motor. All this is hiding in a metal case. The most difficult stage is the development of an electrical circuit diagram. To avoid mistakes, you can use ready-made options that can be found on the Internet. Most often, thermostats and a toggle switch are connected in series in the circuit. The circuit is closed on the electric motor and heating element.

Assembly technology of a simple structure with heating elements

As a body for the future gun, you can take a piece of large diameter pipe. For this, metal or asbestos-cement products are suitable. The size of the case must be selected taking into account the span of the fan blades, which should overlap one of the end sides of the device. Ready-made heating elements can be purchased in a store or removed from an old boiler or stove. For operation, you will need a circuit breaker, a three-core cable, a safety switch, and bolts.

Useful advice!For the manufacture of the case, you can also use improvised means, for example, a small metal tank, an old saucepan, a galvanized bucket. The main thing is that the structure has thick walls.

To begin with, the required power of the device is determined. To do this, you can use the formula that was discussed earlier. After that, you need to check whether the wiring in the room can withstand such a load.

Next, the body part is made. If you don't have a metal pipe on hand, you can take a steel sheet. It can be folded into position and fixed with rivets, hoops or welding. If you intend to use a bucket or pan, saw off the bottom. The result should be a rectangular or cylindrical body.

Then the resistance of the heating element is compared with the calculated data. If necessary, 1-2 additional elements can be added to the circuit, which are connected in series. To increase the power, the heating element is shortened. An electric motor and a fan are fixed at one end. The blades should cover the lumen as much as possible, but at the same time nothing should interfere with the rotational movements. The mains wires are connected through a fuse. A switch is also installed here.

The heating element must be fixed inside the case, preferably in the center. As fasteners, plates made of refractory metals or rivets can be used. The heating element must be located at a sufficient distance from the fan, otherwise the motor will overheat. The wires should be routed outside and connected to the network through another fuse.

The structure is completely ready. Before starting to operate it, it is necessary to check the quality of insulation on all connections and perform a trial test. If assembled correctly, a fan will start at one end, and heated air will come out at the other. Such a gun is very easy to manufacture and requires only time and minimal knowledge of electrical engineering, although it will be much safer to purchase a ready-made device in a store.
