Heat gun Ballu bkx 3

Heat guns are successfully used to heat industrial, utility 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.

Varieties of heating appliances of the Ballu brand

According to the reviews of equipment sellers, this brand has won a high score among many manufacturers of heating equipment. The units are used for heating 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 commonly used to heat residential and other premises. At the construction site, they are practically not used. The device and operation of the device resembles an electric fan heater. A heating element is installed inside the cylindrical or rectangular case. The fan pushes air through the heater, which is directed with a directed flow through the nozzle of the cannon to the object. Electric cannons have the lowest cost among units powered by another type of fuel. During operation, the appliance does not burn oxygen, but cannot be used in facilities where there is no electrical connection.
  • Diesel heat gun Balu can be of direct and indirect heating type. The design of the first unit is arranged so that the fire is located directly near the nozzle. Direct heating allows high efficiency to be achieved, as the outlet temperature rises to 600aboutC. However, together with the heat from the nozzle, combustion products come out, therefore such heaters are not used in residential premises. The torch of the indirectly heated cannon is located in the combustion chamber. The passing air is heated from its metal walls. The combustion products are discharged through a discharge hose. Indirect heaters are less efficient, but they work safely in rooms where people are staying.
  • The device of gas heat guns is similar to diesel units. The main difference is the operation from a different type of fuel. The heater is capable of operating from a cylinder with propane-butane and natural gas supplied from the mains.

Each type of heat gun is produced with different power, which allows the consumer to choose a suitable 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 a heating element acts as a heater.

BHP series

Heat guns Balu of the BHR series are divided into 4 types, each of which includes several types of models:

  • The most demanded for domestic needs are BHP PE units. Heaters are manufactured in a cylindrical case, and the angle of its inclination can be adjusted independently. The PE series consists of three types of units with a capacity of 2, 3, 5 kW. The Ballu BHP PE 5 heat gun model is in the 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 distinguished by their high power from 3 to 15 kW. Ballu Master heat guns are produced in a rectangular body.

Testimonials

Instead of summing it up, let's take a look at some of the reviews for this brand.

Alexey, 36 years old, Vitebsk
I bought a Ballu BKX-3 cannon to heat the garage. Liked the compact size. The temperature in a room with an area of ​​10 m2 rises by 8 degrees in 15 minutes. I do not like the big noise during work. After two years of use, it stopped turning on.

Dmitry Ivanovich, 42 years old, Tula
In order not to drive heating in the fall, I bought a Ballu BHP-PE-5 to warm up a private house. The device worked for one season at the first heating position. There was no need to turn it on at full capacity. Now only the fan is running and the heating element is cold. I will look for a repair service, but there are very few of them.
