Electric heat guns are widely used in the life of a modern person. These devices are used to heat living quarters, to raise the temperature in shops, garages, offices, industrial and warehouse premises. Most models are easy to connect and manage. But the main advantage of the cannons is the rapid heating of the air. Good air exchange is achieved due to the well-coordinated operation of the electric heater and fan. Often, devices are used to ventilate rooms in order to lower the temperature or humidity. A wide range of heat guns is presented in Russian stores. To choose the right model, you should heed the advice of our experts.

Recommendations for choosing an electric gun

Mains voltage. Electric guns require a specific voltage to operate.

1. Appliances with limited power (up to 5 kW) are usually connected to a 220 V household network. The performance of such devices is enough to heat one room from a garage with an area of ​​up to 50 sq. m.
2. More powerful appliances that are capable of heating warehouse or production areas require a three-phase voltage (380 or 400 V).

Heating power. One of the important parameters of a heat gun that affects the efficiency of heating is power. It is expressed in kilowatts (kW).

1. The higher this parameter, the faster the device warms up the air to the desired temperature. To select the heating power, it is necessary to determine the maximum area of ​​the room in which it will be installed.
2. The calculation formula looks quite simple: 100 W of electricity can heat 1 sq. m. But the technical characteristics indicate the power consumption, which is the sum of the powers of the heating element and the fan. Therefore, a small 10 percent margin is required.

Maximum air exchange. Heat gun manufacturers equip their products with a fan. Its work is characterized by such a parameter as throughput. It indicates the volume of air passing through the device in 1 hour. The higher the air exchange, the faster and more evenly the temperature rises. Household guns have a capacity of 130-450 cubic meters. m / h, for industrial devices this figure reaches 2500 cubic meters. m / h.

Additional functions. Modern electric guns are equipped with a number of modern features.

1. The thermostat helps to automatically maintain the set temperature range. It independently turns on and off the heater depending on the sensor readings.
2. Overheating protection increases the safety of the electrical device. Timely shutdown avoids fire and increased load on the power grid.
3. The remote control will help control the pendant models.
4. For the convenience of moving the heat gun, manufacturers equip devices with special handles. They should not get hot while the device is in operation.

We have selected 11 of the best electric heat guns for review. All of them are sold in the trade network of our country. When allocating seats, the editorial board of the journal relied on the opinion of the expert community, taking into account the reviews of Russian users.
