Why do you need a heater? Ballu heater, purpose, design/appearance

Heater – a device for heating a room. There are many types of heaters. They are classified according to their operating principle, heating method, fuel used, etc.

The Ballu heater is intended for heating the air in domestic premises. The device is not suitable for use in professional/large premises.

Heater appearance:

1. Frame
2. Air intake and air outlet grilles
3. Convection chamber
4. Wheels/foot set for floor mounting/bracket set for wall mounting
5. Control Panel
6. Plug and power cable

The control panel differs from the appliance model. There are devices with mechanical and electronic control panels.

The mechanical control panel consists of a temperature regulator (rotating wheel) and a drawn scale (the temperature value in it is shown by stripes around the regulator: the thicker the strip, the higher the temperature).

The electrical control unit consists of:

• Device startup and shutdown buttons
• Operating mode selection buttons
• Power selection buttons (full and half power)
• Two buttons to decrease/increase temperature or timer time
• Screen

Operating modes of the Ballu heater and their designations

Before this, it should be noted that the modes are only available in models with an electronic control panel.

Modes:

1. The sun is the standard operating mode, the factory air heating temperature is 24 degrees Celsius.
2. Crescent - saving, the device saves energy consumption by turning off unnecessary functions and maintaining the temperature 4 degrees lower than in standard mode.
3. Snowflake – work in low temperature conditions; the device is additionally heated from the inside so that the elements do not freeze. The air heating temperature is 5 degrees Celsius.

Other symbols on the heater LED display:

• Numbers – temperature, timer hours. In standard operating mode, the device displays the air temperature in the room.
• Rectangles - the operating power of the device: two rectangles - the device is operating at full power, one - at half power.
• Clock – the sleep timer is turned on.
• Dotted square – Parental Control is enabled.

Operating principle of an electric heater

Ballu electric heaters operate on the principle of natural convection. The entire room is filled with air of different temperatures - hot on top, cold on bottom.The natural movement of air due to temperature differences is called convection. Cold air accumulates near the floor, where it is sucked in by the heater (there is no fan, the air itself enters the air intake grilles). Inside, the air is affected by a heating element - a tubular electric heater. This is a metal tube, inside of which there is a conductive thread and a non-conductive material. Electricity is applied to the thread, which makes it hot. The heat from it is transferred to the metal tube, and from it to the air inside the device. At the same time, electricity remains in the thread; the special material with which the tube is filled does not allow it to pass through. The heated air rises on its own and leaves the air outlet grilles into the room. It rises to the ceiling, giving off heat to objects in the room and sending cooled air down. The cycle repeats.

Instructions for use of electric heater Ballu

Before using the heater:

Remove the device from the packaging/box and remove the protective film and colored stickers from it. Otherwise, they may catch fire when using the heater. Install the device - screw the wheels/legs or mount the unit into the wall using bolts and brackets. Connect the appliance plug to the mains.

Recommendation: do not connect other high-consumption devices to the same outlet/extension cord as the heater. In terms of power, the outlet may be able to withstand it, but too much current will heat up the metal elements and melt the plastic. The result will be a short circuit.

How to use a heater with a mechanical control unit:

• Plug the device into a power outlet
• Select the operating mode (device power)
• Turn the dial to set the desired temperature

To turn off the device, turn the control to the left to the minimum value and remove the plug from the socket.

Ballu heaters have a function to maintain a certain temperature. When it is turned on, the device automatically turns on and off to maintain the selected air temperature in the room.

To enable this function, set the device to maximum power mode, then turn the thermostat knob all the way to the right, and when the temperature becomes comfortable for you, turn the same knob to the left until it clicks.

Operation of Ballu electronic heaters:

• Insert the plug of the device into the socket.
• Press the on/off button (lower right).
• Select full or half power (bottom left).
• Select the operating mode, press the lower central button (there are three modes to choose from, their characteristics and designations are written above in the “Ballu heater modes” section). To save the mode, do not press anything for 5 seconds.
• Select the air heating temperature - use the upper adjustment buttons to do this, the temperature value is displayed on the screen. You can also use standard settings with factory settings.

To turn off the device, hold down the device's on/off button for a few seconds. After this, unplug the device from the socket.

Additional differences between electric models are the self-shutdown timer function and “Parental Control”.

To set the timer, press the heater start button twice. Use the temperature adjustment buttons to change the time after which the device will turn itself off. The time on the display is shown in hours; it is possible to set a timer from 1 to 24 hours. To save the settings, do not press anything for 5 seconds.After this, the clock icon will light up on the display. After the set time, the device will turn off.

Parental control blocks the control panel of the device. To turn it on, hold both temperature adjustment buttons for 5 seconds. A dotted square icon will appear on the screen - this means that “Parental Control” is enabled. To turn off the feature, repeat the steps.
