Heater on diesel fuel: where you can apply, see, fuel consumption

Each of us has faced this situation, when it was very cold outside, and there is no heating in the house yet. Or just cut off the electricity, and the batteries became cold. In these cases, a diesel heater will come to the rescue.

Where to apply

Regardless of the type of fuel (diesel or gasoline), all catalytic heating devices have one important advantage - they are able to work for a very long time and not be controlled by humans. And that means, that such heat sources are fire and explosion-proof and can be used in the home.

Also such furnaces will find the application in garages, in warehouses and workshops, in domestic premises and on construction sites, heat the greenhouse, cottage or country house.

Mobile models are indispensable in hiking - for heating tents and heating food. Gasoline portable heater is known to any traveler.

Forced air heating devices are widely used. Thermal energy in them is created by burning diesel fuel. This heat is used to heat a metal or ceramic element, and when you turn on the fan, warm air begins to circulate and the room warms up. They are best used in large rooms, without inflow of air and drafts. Such heaters are very efficient and inexpensive.

Infrared diesel heaters. Infrared radiation is similar to solar, it warms up objects and people first of all, and then the air. Infrared heaters on diesel fuel are also arranged. An important value of this type of heating is the instantaneous heating of objects close to it. The devices are well suited for rooms with drafts.

Diesel infrared heat sources are very energy efficient, and connecting the generator, you can create your own autonomous heating.

Due to that, that diesel fuel burns completely, such devices do not require smoke extraction. They are often installed outdoors and in street cafes. The disadvantage of such heat sources is the inability to heat large rooms.

If you compare air and infrared types of devices, then the first loses significantly to the second, as it dries the air in the room quite strongly.

Diesel heating boilers work on the same principle, as well as turbocharged gas appliances. Their similarity is also in the easy control with the help of electronics in automatic mode.

Very popular on the market are compact appliances - a kind of stove with a fan. They come in 2 types:

• with direct heating (without chimney);
• with indirect heating.

The principle of operation of a potbelly stove with indirect heating is very simple. Liquid fuel enters the combustion chamber, where it is burned by air, supplied by a fan. Passing heat exchanger, warm air is directed into the room, heating it throughout the area. Such a heating device is very often used in garages. The design of heaters allows: control fuel consumption and regulate temperature.
