Going to the country, fishing or hiking in the cool season, it is not superfluous to have a warm "friend" - a heater that will warm and create comfortable conditions for a good rest.
Catalytic heater - one of the types of mobile and efficient heaters. The principle of operation of this device involves heating the air by burning fuel. Fuel can be gas or gasoline. The catalytic device for today is the most environmentally friendly and safe device for heating.
Types of catalytic heaters
Gas catalytic heaters can be used for heating a country house, tent, small warehouse or workshop, garage. These plants are unique in their heat generation process. In them, the fuel mixes with oxygen and burns on the surface of the thermal fiberglass surface. High efficiency of the device is achieved due to the presence of the finest filaments of platinum, performing the functions of a catalyst.
Advantage of this heater in the absence of direct open flame. They spend very little fuel and at the same time have good performance indicators. They are reliable, safe, some models even have a sensor that controls the concentration of carbon dioxide in the room. And if this concentration exceeds the allowable limit, the device ceases to supply gas, and the heater switches off.
Catalytic heaters with liquid fuel (gasoline). Work on the basis of vapors of gasoline, coming from a tank with fuel. In the catalytic cartridge there is a complete oxidation of the vapors of gasoline with oxygen from the air.
The most known by fans of productive leisure a version of catalytic heaters is a catalytic heater. It is often used by those who travel with tents on multi-day trips.
No less popular for such cases is the portable multi-fuel
What is the difference between a catalytic heater and a ceramic heater?
The main difference between a ceramic gas heater is that heat waves are generated in it by an open flame burning under a ceramic burner.
The efficiency of such an instrument is higher, but the fuel consumption is also higher. And since it needs to be manned with large gas cylinders, it loses its mobility and can hardly be used in marching conditions.
