Gas Ceramic Heater

One of the main components of the comfort of any room is heat. It can be obtained from heating systems operating on natural gas or electricity supplied to the dwelling. But what to do if there are no basic amenities in the room, but warm up as you like, because heating with electricity at today's prices is very expensive? In such cases, the ceramic gas heater will be the optimal solution. This device has a very high efficiency and is economical in terms of energy costs.

Principles of the heater operation

Gas infrared ceramic heaters (heaters) have become very widespread in the modern world, but how do they work? Despite the fact that in the bowels of this unit natural gas burns, it heats the room with infrared radiation. Such gas heaters with a ceramic radiator transform the energy of gas combustion with a ceramic burner inside which gas burns. In the process of combustion, it warms up to 900 degrees and begins to emit infrared rays, and already they heat the room. Like other heaters that heat the room with infrared rays, it acts locally (it is best to warm the place where the radiator is directed). Infrared gas heaters are used to heat houses and dachas, but the models themselves need a little different for this. The drawback of these devices is that they quite significantly burn out oxygen in the room. For this reason, many ceramic gas heaters for the home are equipped with special sensors, which react by turning off the device when the oxygen level falls below the permissible level.

Types of ceramic gas heaters

Modern gas heaters with ceramic radiators are represented by the most diverse models. Some are like torch lamps on a long leg, others are like pictures. There are even compact versions that have the size of a medium-sized flashlight. Let's talk about each of them in more detail.

1. Let's start with street heaters. They have an external similarity with a floor lamp. Their ceramic radiator is located on top and is covered with an umbrella. Infrared waves from this device are emitted around its base. This is an excellent option for those who like to sit outside.
2. Ceramic gas heaters of stationary type are usually used for heating dachas. These devices are quite cumbersome, but they have quite a lot of power. One such heater is enough to heat the room up to 40 square meters.
3. The most compact and elegant devices in this group are wall panels. Outwardly they have a great similarity with the air conditioner unit, they are very economical, safe and do not burn oxygen in the room.
4. Do you like hiking with overnight stays in tents? Then you just need a compact ceramic heater. With a little more flashlight, this device can very quickly heat up even a four-seater tent.

As you can see, gas infrared heaters with ceramic burners are very diverse. In each of the the above categories are hundreds, or even thousands of options. On top of this material, we will give some tips on what to look for when buying them.

1. The device must be equipped with a power regulator.
2. It is highly desirable to have an oxygen analyzer in the air.
3. Make sure that there is a piezo spark in the selected model.
4. A high-quality heater must have a "gas-control" system, which allows to shut off the gas supply if the burner has gone out.

We hope that this material will help you navigate the boundless sea of ​​ceramic gas heaters.
