Market heating equipment includes a huge number of all kinds heating devices. There are heating radiators, electric and gas infrared heaters, various convectors, heat guns and much more. But such a thing as a gas convector is little known to consumers. What is this heating device and what is it for?
In this review we will look at:
- features and design of gas convectors;
- scope of application of these devices;
- types of convectors.
We will conclude with some user reviews.
Design and principle of operation of a gas convector
How does a regular water convector work? This is the most common steel, cast iron, aluminum or bimetallic radiator, connected to the heating system. Hot coolant enters the convector, after which the equipment begins to heat atmospheric air. It's pretty much the same way electric convector, only instead of coolant, electricity comes here, not through pipes, but through wires.
How does a gas convector work and what is this unusual device? Heating gas convector is autonomous heating device that generates heat through a built-in gas burner. The resulting heat is released into the atmosphere, as a result of which the room is heated. But these convectors cannot be called completely autonomous - after all, they can also operate from main gas. Another thing is that such heating does not require laying pipes with coolant and installing a gas boiler.
Gas convectors for heating have relatively simple device. Inside we will find:
- gas burner;
- closed (less often open) combustion chamber;
- heating control circuit;
- air heat exchanger;
- security systems.
All this is dressed in a pleasant-looking case. The equipment turns out to be compact, but a little bulky - after all, inside there is a full-fledged gas burner and an impressive heat exchanger.
The air heated in the heat exchanger tends upward, and cold air fills its place.
The operating principle of a gas convector is very simple - natural or liquefied gas enters the burner, ignites and heats the finned heat exchanger, and the combustion products are removed outside using a fan. When heated, the air rises and enters the room. It is replaced by colder air masses. Continuous convection is created, in which almost all the air in the room takes part.
The operation of the burner is controlled by a thermostat that analyzes the air temperature in the room. It is he who turns the gas burner on or off, maintaining the set temperature.
These devices are used to heat buildings for various purposes– these can be residential premises, small offices, utility premises and much more. Compact gas convectors for dachas are also produced, with minimum sizes and intended for heating rooms small area. Common feature All similar convectors are that they heat the air in only one room - if you need to heat two or three rooms, you will have to buy two or three convectors.
Advantages and disadvantages of a gas convector
These devices are autonomous heating equipment used for heating gasified buildings and buildings without gasification. In the first case, gas convectors are used natural gas, and in the second case, convectors powered by liquefied gas cylinders are used. What are the advantages and disadvantages of these devices? Let's start with the positive features:
Undoubtedly, such a model in the form of a fireplace will add warmth and comfort to any interior.
- relatively compact design - gas convectors have small in size, due to which they do not clutter heated rooms;
- decent design - carefully crafted appearance gas convectors will not spoil the appearance of even the most sophisticated interior;
- opportunity completely battery life – just connect a liquefied gas cylinder to the equipment;
- they do not freeze and can start at any temperature environment – great solution For country houses without permanent residence residents;
- operation as primary or auxiliary heating equipment - these devices can operate continuously or as secondary heating, for example, when the supply of main gas or electricity is turned off;
- profitability - allow you to create inexpensive heating, characterized by low operating costs;
- high efficiency– it reaches up to 95%, allowing you to convert almost all of the gas into heat.
There are also certain disadvantages:
Unlike convectors, a gas double-circuit boiler will provide you not only with heat, but also with hot water.
- like any gas equipment, these devices are characterized by reduced safety. Careless handling of gas and operation of faulty equipment can lead to fires and even explosions;
- the need for regular maintenance - most of all this applies to equipment that is powered from main gas networks;
- gas convectors cannot produce hot water– this is only available to gas double-circuit boilers;
- You cannot heat several rooms at once - the devices only work in one room;
- difficulty in installation - to install such devices it is necessary to ensure the removal of combustion products and the influx fresh air. This is achieved through coaxial chimney ov laid through the walls.
Taking advantage similar devices, must be given special attention safety issues and regularly conduct maintenance. Only in this case can you count on their complete safety for others.
How to choose a gas convector
Are you planning to buy a gas convector for installation in a private home or country house? Then we will help you do it right choice. First, let's look at the main types of these devices.
Types of gas convectors
Choose models with cast iron heat exchangers - they will last longer.
Consumers can choose from models with two types of heat exchangers - steel or cast iron. Steel convectors are characterized affordable price, but their service life is shorter than that of models with cast iron heat exchangers. If you want to purchase reliable and durable equipment, choose models with cast iron heat exchangers - they can withstand thermal loads well and are characterized by resistance to corrosion.
It should be noted that cast iron heat exchangers are also found in many heating boilers. Such boilers have a longer service life and are resistant to rust.
Gas convectors have open or closed combustion chambers. The first take air directly from the room, removing combustion products through a standard chimney. Organization good chimney leads to additional costs, so most in demand models with closed camera combustion. They work with coaxial chimneys, which are discharged directly through the wall, next to which (or on which) the heating devices themselves are installed.
Gas cylinders used to operate the device can be placed outside in special boxes.
Gas convectors differ in the type of fuel used. It can be natural or liquefied gas. The price of a gas convector using bottled gas is almost no different from the cost of a similar device using natural gas. Choose models that work on liquefied gas if you need to provide independent heating. To heat gasified buildings, you can use convectors running on natural gas.
Consumers also have a choice of floor-mounted and wall-mounted models of gas convectors. The former are most often characterized by higher power. In addition, on sale are universal models, which can be installed on the floor or wall.
Calculation of the amount of gas consumed
Gas equipment is characterized by low gas consumption. The basic indicators for calculating consumption are the following parameters:
- 0.11 cu. m of main gas per 1 kW of thermal power;
- 0.09 kg of liquefied gas per 1 kW of thermal power.
Based on this, you can calculate how much gas a particular convector will consume. For example, 5 kW model, designed for approximately 50 sq. m, will burn 0.55 cubic meters. m of gas per hour of work. In one day, a little more than 13 cubic meters will come out. If we take into account that the equipment does not operate around the clock, then gas consumption will be less. We do calculations in a similar way with liquefied gas.
Choose gas convectors with some power reserve - this way you can compensate heat losses indoors. Increasing the power of the equipment will have almost no effect on gas consumption.
How to install a gas convector
Installing convectors involves some difficulties. As an example, imagine that we are installing a natural gas convector designed for wall installation, with a coaxial chimney. At the first stage, you need to mark the fasteners and mark the place for the hole to pass through the chimney. Next, we go through the hole, install and seal the chimney (so that no outside air gets into the room), and hang the device itself.
Follow these minimum requirements when installing a gas convector.
At the next stage, we connect to the gas main - the connection is made using flexible hose. After completing the procedure, check the tightness of the connection; this can be done using soap or shaving foam. Now you can start the test run. Ideally The correct connection must be checked by a specialist.
More than 10 times gas convectors are used for heating houses, cottages, residential and industrial premises. During this time, a proven practice of using such heating devices has developed, and their pros and cons, advantages and disadvantages have become well known.
Operating principle of a gas convector
The principle of operation of a gas convector is simple - by burning gas in the combustion chamber, we, indirectly, due to convection, heat the air in the room. The gas burns in a separate insulated chamber, heating its walls, and they, in turn, heat the air. It's comfortable, safe and economical. In addition, it is often also non-volatile, because Gas convectors can also operate from bottled gas.
The gas convector can operate on both main natural and bottled gas. Which is very convenient for dachas and other non-gas facilities.
Air enters the burner from the outside, through a coaxial duct. Combustion products are also carried away through it. The burner, heating the sealed cast iron heat exchanger, does not consume indoor air. Which is comfortable and fireproof. The second fan located in the convector housing creates circulation room air around the heat exchanger. That's exactly how they work gas convectors with a closed combustion chamber.
Pros and cons of gas convectors
Heating with gas convector:
- economical - gas convectors consume a minimum of gas and are characterized by high efficiency;
- autonomous - can operate from bottled gas, convectors with open camera combustion does not require electricity;
- almost silent;
- do not worsen the microclimate - do not consume oxygen from the room (depending on the model and installation method);
- quickly warm up the room;
- do not require coolant.
Flaws:
- require professional installation;
- air flow and combustion products removal are required;
- stationary - there is no possibility to move around the room.
How to choose a gas convector?
1. Mainline or bottled gas?
As a rule, most models of gas convectors have a second set of nozzles for working on bottled gas (for example, in the country). But before purchasing, be sure to check whether the device you choose has such a kit. If the convector is designed to operate only on mains gas or only on bottled gas, then converting it to another type of gas is either extremely expensive or completely impossible.
2. Is there permanent source electricity?
Gas convectors with a closed combustion chamber can only operate if electricity is available, because... it is required for the operation of the fan, which forces air into the combustion chamber and removes combustion products. If there is no constant source of electricity, then only convectors with an open combustion chamber are suitable for you..
3. Open or closed combustion chamber?
If there is a constant source of electricity, then you can already choose between a volatile closed combustion chamber and a non-volatile open combustion chamber. A closed combustion chamber does not consume air from the room, which is more comfortable. But it requires the installation of only a coaxial horizontal air duct. Moreover, it is necessary to make this air duct as short as possible. This means a horizontal channel in the wall is required. A coaxial duct is not required for open combustion chamber operation. Air for gas combustion is taken from the room. And to remove combustion products, a conventional vertical chimney is required.
4. Floor or wall installation?
Here you can choose any option that suits your taste or better suits your interior. However, it is preferable to buy wall-mounted gas convectors with a closed combustion chamber, because You will still have to install them against the wall (due to the coaxial chimney).
Ready solutions
- on bottled gas
- on natural gas
Most models will suit you, because... The vast majority of gas convectors are set from the factory to operate on mains natural gas, for example:
- with a closed combustion chamber
This is a more precise request. Looks like you know what you want. Now about 65% of gas convectors have a closed combustion chamber. Make sure that there will be a constant power supply where the convector is installed. And also choose the installation method - wall or floor, and whether you need a built-in fan. It allows you to warm up the room faster, but consumes additional electricity. You might like:
- for home
Any gas convector that has exhaust of combustion products through a chimney will suit you (Bartolini models will not suit you). Since this is a house, surely there is a constant supply of electricity? Then take a closer look at models with a closed combustion chamber, for example:
- for the dacha
Perhaps you should pay attention to inexpensive, energy-independent models of gas convectors with an open combustion chamber and powered by bottled gas, for example:
- floor
Let's clarify a little where exactly you need the convector, whether there is electricity there and what the gas source will be. Floor models We have a lot in our assortment, for example:
- wall-mounted
It is necessary to clarify the type of premises, the availability of electricity and the nature of the gas source. There are a lot of wall-mounted gas convectors in our assortment, for example:
- from the cylinder
There are quite a few models that come with a set of nozzles for working on bottled liquefied gas, for example:
- with fan
Excellent! Since you are looking for a model with a fan, it means there is electricity where the convector is installed. All that remains is to choose an open or closed combustion chamber... and, perhaps, the type of gas. And we have a lot of gas convectors with a fan, for example:
- with vertical chimney
This means you need a convector with an open combustion chamber, for example:
- with cast iron heat exchanger
You take the heating issue seriously. Well, pay attention to these models:
The ideal gas convector for a summer residence
It just so happened and this is, apparently, our tradition, that very often gas convectors are purchased specifically for heating a dacha. Almost every third buyer of convectors turns to us with the question of whether this or that model is suitable for heating a country house.
What do you need from a country gas heater?
- works on bottled gas - still gasified summer cottages we meet as often as official ones service centers Bentley near Syktyvkar;
- energy independence - i.e. so that it works even during power outages;
- did not require complex installation;
- was inexpensive.
And we have a solution which satisfies all these points - gas convector Hosseven HBS-9/1V
- works perfectly on bottled gas;
- with an open combustion chamber, i.e. air is taken from the room, and combustion products are discharged into a regular chimney by natural physical processes, no fan or constant power supply is required;
- floor, i.e. you can simply put it in any convenient location, connect a gas hose and connect a regular chimney - and the convector will work;
- it is not expensive, because has a steel heat exchanger, which is much cheaper than cast iron with a similar service life;
- reliable - the convector uses the well-known and proven gas fittings SIT (Italy) both in Russia and throughout the world;
- ignition is carried out from a battery;
- The convector power of 9 kW allows you to reliably heat rooms up to 90 sq.m. (With good insulation). And taking into account the fact that country houses, as a rule, are not very well insulated, then these 9 kW will not be superfluous in houses of smaller area;
- will quickly warm up your country house- this is facilitated by a good power reserve and a built-in fan, which, when connected to electricity, will significantly speed up the heating of the dacha.
- high-quality Turkish assembly.
The Termomir company offers customers wide range gas heaters– gas convectors, gas infrared heaters And gas guns.
Gas heaters are divided into domestic and industrial and can be used for heating country house, cottages, warehouses and hangars, workshops, garages, construction sites, exhibition and trade pavilions, other household, economic, technical or industrial premises.
Gas convectors
Gas convectors operate on the principle natural circulation air using mains or liquefied (cylinder) gas. The design of such a heater is simple - a heat exchanger, burner, ignition device, gas fittings, control and safety unit, chimney. Cold air is taken from the room from the bottom of the device, gas is burned in the combustion chamber, the air around the heat exchanger is heated by the resulting heat and rises to the top, and combustion air is taken in and combustion products are removed through the chimney. For maximum efficient air circulation, there are models with a fan.
Gas convectors with a closed combustion chamber are suitable for residential and domestic premises, models with an open chamber are suitable for non-residential and utility rooms with good ventilation.
Depending on the installation method, gas convectors can be wall-mounted, floor-mounted or ceiling-mounted and differ in power and appearance.
Gas infrared heaters
Infrared gas heaters are various shapes, but similar in structure. They have a radiant panel installed that converts the energy obtained from gas combustion into radiation. infrared spectrum. The heat generated by the heater is absorbed by all surfaces - floors, walls, furnishings, accumulated in them and then provides indirect heating of the air and an increase in the overall temperature in the room. The operation of such heaters is independent of temperature and air circulation, ceiling height, thermal insulation, so they are suitable not only for indoor, but also for open spaces - verandas, gazebos, terraces, and even for outdoor installation.
Infrared heaters usually run on liquefied gas, for example, outdoor heaters - “mushrooms” with built-in gas cylinder, therefore most often they have floor installation.
Thermal gas guns
Heat guns (fan heaters) have great power and high efficiency and are classified as industrial equipment.
A gas gun is an air heater that provides a powerful flow of warm air by burning gas. Such a device is equipped with a burner, combustion chamber, piezo ignition, gas fittings, control unit, safety devices and, of course, powerful fan. At one end of the housing, air is taken from the room for heating and to ensure the gas combustion process, and from the other, heated air enters the room. air flow.
Gas guns operate on liquefied gas (propane and propane-butane) and do not require special installation and can be easily moved from place to place.
They are usually not used for residential premises, but are indispensable in construction, for various technological and production processes, for heating and drying rooms and various materials etc.
A large assortment of gas heaters of varying prices is presented below on the page and in the site menu. If you find it difficult to make a choice, contact our specialists for advice.
Gas convectors are compact, autonomous heating devices living rooms or domestic premises. The heating market is saturated with convectors various models, therefore, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the design and operation features gas devices so that their choice is informed.
Scope of application of natural gas convectors
The devices are intended for use in premises to which a pipeline with main gas is connected at nominal pressure 130 mm water. Art.
- As the main heating devices in private houses, apartments, rooms in hotels and boarding houses.
- As auxiliary heating devices in residential areas.
- For heating shops, restaurants, conference rooms, classrooms, etc.
- For short-term heating of attics, garages, sheds, etc.
- For use in prefabricated and mobile buildings.
- For irregular heating of all types of premises.
Advantages and disadvantages of gas convectors
Advantages of the devices:
- The device is not afraid of frost; you can leave it in an unheated house for a long time and start it up as needed.
- The product can be adjusted to maintain a certain temperature in the room.
- Automation shuts off the gas supply to the burner in critical situations, which guarantees the safety of the product.
- The device does not require electricity to operate. The equipment operates even if the built-in fan is disconnected from the network.
- Installation of the unit is simple, does not depend on the location of other heating devices installed in neighboring apartments.
- The products fit well into the interior of the room.
- The efficiency of the products is higher than that of water boilers.
Flaws:
- Not intended for heating water.
- Convectors with an open combustion chamber require good ventilation of the room and a vertical chimney.
- Despite their small dimensions, convectors cannot be completely hidden in a room, like water radiators.
- The gas convector cools down quickly, and the room quickly cools down along with it.
Gas convector design
The convector includes the following components:
The body is made in the form of a box, with a fire burning inside. The design separates the gas combustion zone from the room. The body is made of thick metal and covered heat-resistant paint. The box is open at the top and bottom for air circulation.
Heat exchanger - necessary to heat the air. The larger its size, the faster the temperature in the room will rise. The heat exchanger is made finned to increase its useful contact area.
Burner - built into the heat exchanger, gas is burned in this device. There are main and pilot burners. Electrodes are connected to the pilot, allowing the fire to be ignited manually or automatically. After ignition, the main burner turns on.
Combination valve - regulates the flow of gas into the burner depending on the automation signals.
Power
Experts have calculated that for heating 10 square meters. m of room requires 1 kW. The value is suitable for apartments with three-meter ceilings, standard windows, doors and normal wall insulation. The value is increased by 1 kW for ventilation, poor-quality insulation, old windows. All devices are equipped with thermostats that control the room temperature, so a product with increased power will not worsen comfortable environment in the room.
Mounting method
Wall convectors are lightweight, small in size, with a power of up to 10 kW. Fixed on the wall under the window sill to form a thermal curtain in front of the window.
Floor-standing devices are heavy and require a foundation. The power of such products is over 10 kW and can reach enormous values.
IN production premises Ceiling convectors designed for large area. Such devices are not installed in living rooms.
Convectors with open and closed combustion chamber
The operation of a convector with an open combustion chamber is no different from the operation of an ordinary stove - room air is consumed, and the burnt gases escape through the pipe. It is necessary to have a ventilation system in the house to supply air to the room. The chimney is placed vertically and passes through the roof of the house. This type of convector can be installed in place of a dismantled furnace or boiler, which left behind chimney. These devices are not installed in bedrooms.
The closed combustion chamber has more complex device. A coaxial chimney made of two pipes is used to supply air into the combustion chamber and remove burnt gases. By inner tube Gases are removed from the device using a fan, and fresh air is supplied through the outside. The fan creates a little noise, but all the smoke is removed outside. The device costs more than a product with an open firebox.
Heat exchanger material
The heat exchanger in a convector is made of cast iron, steel or aluminum alloys; each material has advantages and disadvantages. Cast iron heats up evenly, heat exchangers made of this metal have high efficiency and can operate for 50 years. But the material is fragile and may burst if certain conditions, for example, with large temperature differences. Cast iron heat exchangers are 10 kg heavier than steel ones and are much more expensive. They are used in devices with power up to 5 kW.
Aluminum heat exchangers have good thermal conductivity, but they are expensive and have low heat resistance.
A steel heat exchanger is considered the best option. In some characteristics it is inferior cast iron products— there is a possibility of burnout and breakdown of the entire device. But it is lighter, stronger and cheaper. Devices with a power of up to 12 kW are equipped with steel heat exchangers.
Availability of a fan
The fan quickly removes heated air from the device and reduces the time it takes to warm up the room. Blowing the heat exchanger body cools it and reduces the risk of burnout. Air supply extends the life of the device. The fan is turned on at the beginning of operation of the device to quickly warm up the room, then it is turned off. A built-in fan increases the cost; its presence is justified on high-power devices.
Rules for installing a gas convector
- According to building codes(SNiP) convectors must be hung under the window. Gas pipe must approach the device from the street.
- In rooms with several windows, the devices are installed under each window, otherwise it will be cold in the corners.
- The convector, like other gas equipment, must be installed in accordance with regulatory requirements and security measures.
- If there are several convectors in the apartment, then each point requires a separate permit from the relevant organizations.
- Installation, installation and operating conditions are harsh. It is recommended to trust installation to specialized teams, despite the simplicity of the work.
- It is economically profitable to install 1 convector to heat one room. You can use the device for 2-3 rooms if the rooms are adjacent.
- To heat the whole house, you can mount 1 device and build an air duct to move warm air to other rooms.
- Another option is to make a hood in the back room, then warm air will move from the convector to the hood independently.
- In a high room, a fan will be in place - it will drive the air down.
Gas convectors using natural gas are very beneficial for heating separate rooms small area. In other cases, their use is justified only by the lack of other heating options.
On modern market enough wide range all kinds of heating devices. Among them you can find gas convectors running on natural gas for large rooms and oversized rooms. The consumer has the opportunity to choose among the presented models the one that will have certain technical characteristics.
Positive feature - price
If you are interested in gas convectors running on natural gas, then you should first familiarize yourself with the manufacturer and cost different models. The price is determined depending on the power of the device and technical characteristics. Among other things, this parameter is influenced by quality. Thus, a Ukrainian manufacturer can be purchased on the market for $150. Despite the fact that the price is affordable, according to users, models of this class operate uninterruptedly for a year. If the company does not provide a guarantee, then you can count on operation for 5 months. In some cases, further repair of equipment may not be cost-effective. If you don't want through short time If you purchase a new gas convector or do repairs, you may prefer a Turkish-made convector. Gas convectors running on natural gas, photos of which are presented in the article, have proven themselves among consumers; they operate throughout the entire season until the need arises to turn them off.
Operating principle
If you are considering gas convectors running on natural gas at the point of sale, it is initially recommended that you familiarize yourself with the operating principle of this equipment. The combustion process of natural gas occurs in a chamber made of cast iron. The unit has a combined pipe for inlet and outlet. Through it, the gas convector receives oxygen, which is so necessary for combustion.
Key Benefits
If you are considering gas convectors using natural gas as a basis modern system heating, then it is initially necessary to consider the advantages and disadvantages of this equipment. Perhaps some of them are very conditional. You must decide whether the created system will be complete and reliable. If we compare gas convectors and boilers that use gas as fuel, it can be noted that the last of the mentioned units requires the presence of water pipes and radiators that are stretched throughout the house and installed in each room. As for convectors, they should be located separately in each room; they are devoid of pipes and look like radiators, but their sizes are much larger. If convectors had a large number advantages over radiators, they would be installed in every home today, but radiators would have been abandoned quite a long time ago. However, both of them have a certain number of pros and cons.
Gas convectors running on natural gas, according to sellers and manufacturers, have compact dimensions. This feature can be called relative by looking at the appearance of the equipment. The device looks like a miniature fireplace, so it cannot be installed under every window sill. If we consider low cost, then it can be noted that it is higher compared to the cost of convectors that are used in conventional heating systems. Manufacturers mention another advantage, which is expressed in the use in the system, however, this factor cannot be called unique to gas convectors, since this type fuel can be adjusted in any boiler by changing burners and nozzles.
Efficiency
When purchasing a gas convector running on natural gas, you probably expect high efficiency of this equipment, but when compared with gas boiler, the advantage is doubtful. Owners of country houses and some apartments who want to install a gas convector in their home do not always have the opportunity to use a gas boiler. That is why this plus can be called very deserved.
Additional benefits
Considering the advantages, we can highlight the fact that there is no water as a coolant in the convector system. This circumstance is very convenient in winter period, when you should be afraid of liquid freezing in pipes, this is very beneficial for owners of country houses. However, you must be prepared for the fact that a sharp change in temperature and humidity can have a detrimental effect on the decoration of the house, as for frost and dampness - they damage furniture and interior items. This indicates that there is no place for a convector in a permanent home. It is most often used for non-residential premises by type of workshops, sheds and garages. A gas convector running on natural gas, according to manufacturers, has another advantage, which is expressed in environmental friendliness. The equipment does not burn oxygen. Consumers often compare such devices with boilers, which also have this advantage.
Safety
You must remember that the convector temperature should not be more than 60 degrees. If these conditions are not met, dust will begin to decompose, and you can forget about environmental friendliness. If your convector has the ability to maintain such conditions, then it will need to be moved to a non-residential premises.
Main disadvantages
Gas convectors running on natural gas, reviews of which you can read in the article, are presented at points of sale in a large assortment. However, before purchasing, you should remember that these devices have their disadvantages. For example, to install this unit you will have to drill into a wall. Moreover, making one hole for this will not be enough; it must be suitable for installing a coaxial gas outlet. The last element of the system is a tube in a pipe through which they run. As for the fresh air that is necessary for combustion, it enters the convector through external pipe. If you imagine a house in which each room has several window openings, then after installing the convectors the building will appear in the form of a building riddled with holes. In order to eliminate this circumstance, experts advise using one convector, which is installed on external wall, however, the power of such equipment must be such that the device is able to warm all rooms.
Household gas convectors running on natural gas have another disadvantage, which is the low inertia of the equipment. In other words, the device heats up quickly and cools down at the same speed. This circumstance can be called both a plus and a minus. If we're talking about about living quarters, then this fact is negative, it negatively affects the comfortable temperature conditions. If the equipment is installed in a garage or barn, then fast heating can be called a definite plus. Gas convectors running on natural gas, the operating principle of which was described above, have another disadvantage, which can be called a feature of the device. The device has a combustion chamber in which gas heats the chamber and some body, which then heats the air.
Duration of operation
For long-term operation of the convector, the device must use burnout-resistant steel. With these features, the device will not be cheap. However, if the device uses thin steel, the convector will fail after burnout and corrosion.
