Schmith heaters - efficient heat sources
Air heaters are mobile devices that are used to heat rooms and other areas, such as storage halls, production halls, workshops or open construction sites. In addition to fulfilling their obvious function, construction heaters are also excellent for drying rooms and buildings, which is why they are very often used for drying plaster and gypsum applied on the walls, which significantly speeds up the completion of this stage of construction work.
The principle of operation ofheating blowers is similar to thermal fans. They draw air from the surroundings, then pass it through a heating element such as a heater or heat exchanger and blow the heated air back into the room. The amount of air extracted and expelled depends on the type and power of the heater. Industrial heaters are good for heating halls and other large rooms where high efficiency and high airflow capacity are needed. For smaller rooms, workshops, garages or enclosed construction sites, workshop heaters, which are characterized by greater mobility and lower energy consumption, will work well.
Types of industrial and workshop heaters
Several types of heaters are available on the market, both for professional use and for simple reheating of rooms and workshops. Each type of heater has certain features and characteristics that make it better suited for a specific role. They are distinguished by the type of fuel they are powered by:
- Electric heaters - They are characterized by quiet operation and the absence of exhaust fumes. They are most often used in homes, offices, workshops and when reheating small rooms and closed construction sites. Professional devices are equipped with a thermostat and safety features to prevent overheating during prolonged operation. There are 230V and 400V electric heaters, distinguished by the amount of air they can heat in a given period of time and the mobility and design of the devices themselves. They can be equipped with stands or transport wheels, allowing them to be moved.
- Gas heaters - Powered by liquid propane-butane gas, using a connected gas cylinder. It is very effective and is characterized by rapid heating of the rooms where it is placed. Gas-powered heaters must be used in well-ventilated, ventilated rooms, such as industrial halls, warehouse halls and large open construction sites. High-quality units should be equipped with a gas leakage sensor, which will shut off the fuel supply in the event of a malfunction or leakage of the line connecting the cylinder to the heater.
- Oil heaters - Use diesel or fuel oil to heat the air. Oil blowers are very efficient, but the smell of exhaust fumes is very common during operation. However, there are models equipped with ejection chimneys, which, with the help of pipes, can exhaust fumes far from the device, so it can also be used in poorly ventilated areas. High-quality oil heaters are equipped with a combustion chamber made of stainless steel and automatic ignition cut-off.
How to choose the right heater for your needs?
Proper selection of a heating device is very important from the point of view not only of efficiency, but also of economy. High-powered heaters will generate high costs when heating small rooms, while blowers with lower efficiency will not cope with heating large areas. When choosing a heater, pay attention to such aspects as:
- The type of room to be heated - depending on the height of the ceiling and the size of the room, you should use a different type of heater. For tall rooms, gas-powered heaters will work better, for offices and smaller rooms, a better choice will be to use an electric heater.
- The size of the area to be heated - the choice of heater should depend on the size of the room in which it will most often work. For large rooms you need heaters with high power and high airflow, for smaller rooms - vice versa.
- Operating cost - depending on how often we will use the device, it is worth paying attention to the cost of its purchase and operation. Gas heaters are more expensive to purchase, but cheaper to operate. Electric blowers are the cheapest to purchase, but with long operation times, they will generate high energy consumption costs. Oil heaters are among the most expensive to purchase, but they make up for it with very fast air heating and economical combustion, which is appreciated especially during long sessions of operation of the devices.
- Frequency of use - devices that will be used frequently should be characterized by high quality workmanship and having safeguards against overheating or unsealing of the housing in the case of gas- or fuel-powered variants.
