Heat guns are successfully used to heat industrial, commercial and residential premises. The principle of their operation is in many ways similar to a fan heater. Cold air passes through the heater, after which it is supplied to a certain point in the room. Among the many models on the market, the Ballu heat gun has gained great popularity, which will be discussed further.
Types of heating devices of the Vallu brand
According to reviews from equipment sellers, this brand has won a high score among many manufacturers of heating equipment. The units are used to heat 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. They are practically never used on construction sites. 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 supplied in a directed flow through the gun nozzle to the object. Electric guns have the lowest cost among units powered by other types of fuel.During operation, the electrical device does not burn oxygen, but cannot be used in facilities where there is no connection to the electrical network.
- Diesel heat gun Balu comes in direct and indirect heating types. The design of the first unit is designed so that the fire is located directly next to the nozzle. Direct heating allows you to achieve high efficiency, since the outlet temperature rises to 600OC. However, combustion products come out of the nozzle along with the heat, so such heaters are not used in residential areas. The torch of the indirect heating gun is located in the combustion chamber. The passing air is heated by its metal walls. Combustion products are discharged through an exhaust hose. Indirectly heated heaters have lower efficiency, but they operate safely in rooms where people are present.
- The design of gas heat guns is similar to diesel units. The main difference is the operation from another type of fuel. The heater is capable of operating from a cylinder with propane-butane and natural gas supplied from the main line.
Each type of heat gun is produced in different capacities, which allows the consumer to choose the appropriate model for heating the object.
Electric heater series
The Ballu electric gun is produced in two series: BHP and BKX. All of them work on the principle of a fan heater, where the heating element acts as a heater.
BHP Series
Balu heat guns of the VNR series are divided into 4 types, each of which includes several types of models:
- The BHP ME series is represented by compact models. Their distinguishing feature is their rectangular body. All heater models are equipped with a thermostat and overheat protection.
- The BHP Expert series is similarly represented by compact models, but of a professional class. For better air circulation, the heater body is installed at an angle of 100O. The Expert series includes two models with a power of 3 and 5 kW.
- The most popular for domestic needs are BHP PE units. The heaters are manufactured in a cylindrical body, and its angle of inclination can be adjusted independently. The PE series consists of three types of units with a power of 2, 3, 5 kW. The Vallu BHP PE 5 heat gun model is in first place in terms of performance, so it is in great demand.
- The Ballu Master series of heat guns consists of seven types of models. BHP M units are characterized by high power from 3 to 15 kW. Ballu Master heat guns are produced in a rectangular body.
The body of all heaters is made of steel coated with colored polymer.
BKX Series
The VKH series of heat guns are equipped with a ceramic heating element. The high safety of using the units is due to the built-in protection functions. Heat guns of this series are in demand among the population. Let's look at three popular models:
- The most compact and least powerful model is the Ballu BKX 3 electric heat gun, with a capacity of 120 m3/h. The unit is used to heat a small room. Product weight no more than 2 kg. The built-in regulator allows you to change the power within 0–2 kW.
- The most popular of this series is the Ballu BKX 5 heat gun with a capacity of 250 m3/h. The unit is equipped with three stages of protection. Rubber feet reduce noise during operation. The regulator can set the power from 0 to 3 kW. The heater weighs about 2.1 kg.
- The most powerful of this series is the Ballu BKX 7 heater with a capacity of 300 m3/h. You can change the power with the regulator from 0 to 5 kW. The weight of the unit is about 3.1 kg.
If you need to choose a heater from this series that you can take with you in the car to the dacha, then it is better to give preference to the BKX 3 model.
Ballu BHG gas heaters
The BHG series of gas heat guns includes seven models. Units equipped with a piezoelectric element for ignition are designated BHG-M. The manufacturer offers only two such heaters with a power of 10 and 17 kW. Working gas guns BHG based on the principle of direct heating, which allows you to obtain 100% efficiency. In addition to the thermostat, the heaters are equipped with protection that stops the fuel supply if the flame goes out or the unit falls.
From this series, according to popularity, three models can be distinguished:
- The BHG-20 unit has a power of 17 kW. In an hour the gun can heat up to 400 m3 air.
- Model BHG-40 will heat up to 1000 m in an hour of operation3 air. Unit power – 33 kW.
- The Ballu BHG-60 professional heat gun has a maximum power of 53 kW. In an hour it will warm up to 1450 m3 air.
All gas guns are equipped with a two-meter high-pressure hose and reducer.
Diesel heaters
Diesel appliances of this brand have two series: BHDP and BHDN. By the last letter in the marking you can determine the type of heating: P - direct, and N - indirect. Diesel heaters are large in size. To move them, they are equipped with wheels. The BHDP series is represented by powerful models. Their characteristics are presented in the table.
Indirect heating heaters have an efficiency of no more than 82%.The Ballu BHDN 20 heat gun has the weakest power, but it is enough to heat a living space. The characteristics of indirect heating models are presented in the table.
All diesel heaters are equipped with a thermostat that allows operation in automatic mode.
