The term heating cannon is used for all larger mobile heating devices. The power limitation to a radiant heater is fuzzy and is around (2… 5) kW. Heating cannons differ from stationary heating systems in their mobility. They are mainly used for the rapid heating of larger commercial rooms, halls or tents with increased heat requirements .

Embodiments

There are heating cannons in various designs that differ in the type of heating medium used and the type of heat dissipation. They are offered as gas , diesel , electric or infrared devices.

In the most commonly used form, heat is generated through the combustion of a heating medium, which is brought into the room via a warm air fan . The heating cannon uses the heated air as a transport medium, whereby the required combustion air is drawn from the room air and released again.

With heating cannons in diesel design, heat outputs of more than 100 kW and air volume flows of over 5000 m³ / h are possible. If smaller heat outputs are required, the fan heater or heater is used.

Electric power can also be used as a heating medium for smaller outputs.

Areas of application

Heating cannons are offered for many purposes. The heating medium with which they are operated primarily depends on the location. In principle, heating cannons are used wherever a connection for electrical heating is not available - or is only available at great expense - or where electrical heating would not achieve the correct effect due to its design.

The main areas of application of heating cannons include agriculture and horticulture , where farmers and gardeners use such devices for heating work rooms as well as for drying crops. Stables, greenhouses and greenhouses are also heated in this way.

Construction sites are another area of ​​application for these devices. When it comes to drying new buildings quickly and sustainably, such devices do a good job. Construction dryers that heat with electricity are probably equally effective, but significantly more expensive to use. Comfortable warmth can also be generated in tents and halls for exhibitions.

Sports halls are mentioned as a further area of ​​application if the heating systems provided by the architect are not sufficient. Industry and trade use heating cannons to heat storage rooms, halls and workshops. Installers use such devices for drying water damage in the event of pipe bursts.
