Domestic fan heaters are a good solution for creating a warm microclimate in small areas. The principle of the device is simple: a fan pumps cold air onto a heating element and delivers it, heated to 25-60 degrees Celsius, into the room.
Reviews of fan heaters indicate the following advantages of this type of heaters - small size, directivity and speed of action. With the help of a fan heater, you can warm a small nursery, use it as a heat source in a country house or in auxiliary unheated rooms. In everyday life, these devices are often used as an additional source of heat in transitional seasons, it is not yet cold, but already cool.
Technical features. The revolutions of the device are regulated, as a rule, in 2-3 modes:
- low revs;
- medium;
- high.
Speed adjustment allows you to ensure the heating rate of the desired zone. The stronger the fan rotates, the more intensively it provides air circulation and rather heats the room. Many models today are equipped with continuously variable speed control. A number of models also include a cold blow mode - without heating, which allows the device to be used in the summer as a simple fan.
The most popular are models with power up to 2 kW / h with two heating spirals, designed for power consumption from 0.5 to 1 kW / h.
Most modern devices are equipped with a protection system that saves the device from overheating by simply turning it off. Such situations are possible if you install the fan in a place with a weak flow of air, for example under a table or in a narrow niche. To avoid this, place the device in an open space.
