Diesel fuel heat gun: operating principle
ventbazar.ua
In our short review, we will look at the design features and characteristics of a diesel heat gun: why it is so in demand and how to use the system correctly so that it lasts at least 10 years.
Warehouses or garages extremely rarely have a central heating supply, so they either use homemade “potbelly stoves” or buy heat guns. The scope of application of a diesel fuel heat gun is quite extensive and includes:
- heating of warehouses;
- additional temperature during extremely prolonged cold weather, not typical for the climate zone;
- warming up the construction site until central heating is installed;
- effective temperature maintenance in greenhouses and greenhouses.
And this is only a small part of what the machine can do. We'll tell you further.

Operating principle of a diesel heat gun
The operation of such a machine is quite understandable even for an inexperienced master: a combustion reaction of diesel fuel occurs inside the body, as a result of which a lot of heat is released and transferred outside through a special fan.
The main fuel is diesel. The internal structure of a diesel heat gun has quite efficient and economical components that increase the efficiency of the entire system to almost 100%.The design is weak in that, in addition to working fuel, we also need 220 or 380 volt power to turn on the electric motor. It will precisely process diesel fuel into the heat we need.
Solarium guns are very useful in harsh climatic situations. Now let’s find out what type of equipment is suitable for a particular room.
How to calculate the design of a diesel gun for a specific location
If your building does not have utilities in the form of heat supply, then the best solution is to use a heating unit that will raise the temperature in the shortest possible time.
Consider several parameters when choosing a particular machine:
- footage of the room;
- is there an insulating base;
- the desired time after which the air will be saturated with at least a little heat.
Both stationary and portable models are considered. The operating principle of a diesel gun in such variants is no different at all. The only point is the engine power, which is reduced in portable devices.
The principle of operation of a diesel heat gun. Specific types
Among diesel heaters, two large groups can be distinguished:
- operating by direct heating;
- with indirect heating.

The principle of direct heating is that such a device has a combustion chamber, a pump with nozzles that are responsible for creating an active flame. Behind is an impressive fan.
The heat generated in the system, together with residual products, enters the room. The device does not have a separate hood, so direct heaters cannot be installed in residential areas - the gases are very harmful to the human body. Regularly ventilate the work area to reduce the concentration of burning and unpleasant odors.
Another thing is indirect heating units. Machines that are more advanced than their competitors. This is because the gun does not heat the system itself, but the surrounding air placed in the diesel combustion chamber. That is, a separate chimney has already been designed for waste from the production of the machine, which needs to be taken out into the street, and then the device can be safely used. The room no longer needs ventilation.
In indirectly heated diesel units, the air does not come into contact with the flame. All fumes and soot are discharged into a separate hood. It is precisely for these characteristics that all experts recommend using indirect motors, even though they are more expensive than their competitors.
What are the advantages of a thermal gun
Although you can buy an exclusively electronic model of any power in the store, this does not take away the high demand among diesel heating systems. This is explained by the fact that the cost of servicing an electric or gas heater exceeds the price of diesel fuel. But this is not the only advantage of a gun of this format. Let's look at the advantages in more detail:
- high efficiency - even taking into account the fact that direct heaters require constant ventilation of the building, the speed of heating the atmosphere is truly amazing;
- to set up the heating, just fill the diesel tank and press the power button;
- safety of use - all models have long had thermostats and dozens of sensors that turn off the device in a critical situation;
- Diesel generators have the least weight among other formats. The 10-12 kg machine can be easily carried in the hands. Some even have a chassis for transport;
- even the most powerful cars consume up to 3 liters of gasoline per hour. Believe me, in just a couple of hours the building will be so hot that you will have to turn off the system for at least the whole day!
