IR devices that generate heat and light fluxes are actively used in various areas of production and private economy. Gas infrared emitters are most in demand for industrial premises. Their action is based on the ability of a heated body to release the resulting heat into space.
You will learn everything about the operating principles of infrared equipment from our proposed article. We will talk about the types of infrared equipment and their characteristic differences. Let's introduce the leading models on the market.
Gas heaters: design, types, advantages and disadvantages
Gas heaters produced by manufacturers differ in their power, operating principle and cost. They can be stationary and portable. The first type of equipment is made in the form of convectors and heat guns.
Heaters can be connected to main gas or bottled equipment. Stationary gas heaters are characterized by a large volume of blue fuel consumption. They have high efficiency and productivity.
Installation of stationary gas heaters requires the installation of chimneys. To install them, you need to allocate a separate corner in the room with an area of at least 1 square meter. m. Mobile heaters can be used for temporary and permanent heating of premises. Such models have smaller dimensions, light weight and are inferior to stationary units in performance.
According to the principle of operation, gas heating equipment is divided into:
infrared;- catalytic;
- convection
Each type of equipment has its own advantages and disadvantages. Manufacturers produce heaters of various configurations. This allows them to be installed in various places in country premises.
Depending on the installation location, devices are distinguished:
- corner;
- built-in;
- wall;
- frontal.
Review of IR heater manufacturers
Gas appliances for creating a favorable microclimate at a construction site, workshop, production workshop and similar facilities are produced by both domestic companies and foreign companies.
According to consumers, the rating of Russian-made products is topped by gas burners of the Solarogaz brand. The assortment presented by this company includes models designed for heating areas of various sizes. The units can be used in greenhouses, garages and open areas.
One of the most popular types of gas infrared equipment on the domestic market and proven in practice is the line of gas burners and stoves from the company Solarogaz
The only negative that buyers and actual owners of gas burner and stove models from the capital’s manufacturer should take into account is the lack of security system sensors. Therefore, they can be used in everyday life, but with precautions.
Products from the Pathfinder company are not inferior in popularity. However, the product line offered to the buyer is dominated by products for household use and tourist options.

Tiles, used both for heating and in preparing simple dishes, and mini burners from a spray can are justifiably popular.
Gas heaters with the Aeroheat logo received excellent characteristics from consumers. This equipment is attractive due to its reliability, based on the use of high-quality components, and its affordable price. Gas-powered stoves and burners from Dixon and Sibiryachka have proven themselves well.
The list of worthy gas heaters from foreign suppliers is headed by gas burners and stoves from the South Korean company Kovea. The brand's products are actively used in small workshops, at painting and construction sites, on hiking trips and fishing.
Gas stoves and burners from Hyundai are not inferior in quality and technical characteristics to devices from European manufacturers. In some indicators they even surpass
To equip workshops, gas heaters from the Italian company Sistema are often used. Models from South Koreans Hyundai and Italian gas stoves Bartolini, which can be used both at home and in the office, are actively in demand. Swedish Timberk stoves and Chinese Ballu equipment are distinguished by their reliability and stable operation.
Catalytic heaters
The quietest and most fireproof gas heating appliances. There are no burners in their design. They are replaced in equipment by catalytic panels. There is no combustion process in structures of this type. Heat is released as a result of a chemical gas oxidation reaction that occurs on the catalytic panel.
The advantages of catalytic heaters are:
- compactness;
- no emissions of carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide;
- energy independence;
- high level of security.
Despite the increased safety of the equipment, it should not be used in rooms where there is no ventilation. Catalytic heaters can transfer heat in two ways: convection and infrared.

Some models of this type have a double heating circuit. Uniform distribution of heat throughout the room is ensured by fans built into the design of the devices.
Infrared heaters
A distinctive feature of devices of this type is that they can be used not only for heating rooms, but also open areas. They are suitable for heating terraces of cafes and restaurants, country verandas, etc. The thermal energy released during gas combustion heats the objects surrounding the equipment. The generation of infrared radiation in the device occurs due to ceramic and metal heating elements.
The gas burners located inside the device housing are equipped with reflectors. They direct thermal energy in the right direction. The heating radius of the devices is 5-6 meters. Infrared heaters operate on natural and liquefied gas. Some designs are equipped with slots made in the form of a monoblock with a built-in cylinder.
Among the advantages:
- high efficiency;
- autonomy.
The disadvantage of infrared gas heaters is the fire hazard. In enclosed spaces intended for their installation, there must be ventilation.
Dark and light IR emitters
By definition, “bright” sources are capable of emitting light. The streams they emit are perceived by vision, although it is still difficult to call them bright lighting and should not be used for this purpose at all.
“Dark” devices deliver a flow of heat invisible to humans, felt by the user’s skin, but not visually detected. The boundary value between “light” and “dark” is considered to be a wavelength of 3 microns. The limiting temperature of the heated surface is 700º.
The property of infrared emitters to supply thermal energy is actively used in greenhouses, chicken coops and farms to support young animals
The most famous representative of a “dark” heating unit is the Russian brick stove, which has successfully heated low-rise buildings for many centuries. Among the “light” ones, as we already understand, is an incandescent electric light bulb, if it supplies no more than 12% of light. Its main energy is directed towards generating heat.
Features of the design of light fixtures
Structurally, light sources are similar to a typical incandescent lamp. However, there are differences in the filament bodies. For bright infrared devices, the temperature cannot exceed a limit of 2270-2770 K. This is necessary to increase heat flow by reducing light emission.
Just like standard light bulbs, the filament body, made of tungsten filament, is placed in a glass bulb. Only the flask is equipped with reflectors, thanks to which all radiant energy is focused on the heated object. In this case, a small part of the energy is spent on heating the bulb base.
The bulb of light infrared sources heats up to high temperatures, so it also participates in the process of heat transfer into space. The thermal energy from the heated flask is not focused by the reflector and goes out into the untreated space; it is the component that reduces the efficiency of the device.
In design and connection method, infrared lamps are very similar to conventional incandescent light bulbs. However, their operating temperature of the filament body is significantly lower, due to which the service life is increased many times over.
The productivity of a light infrared source on average does not exceed 65%. It is increased by placing a tungsten heating body in a tube or similar flask made of quartz glass. This solution makes it possible to increase the wavelength to 3.3 microns and reduce the temperature to 600º.
This option is used in quartz IR heaters, in which chromium-nickel wire is wound around a quartz rod and the whole thing is placed together in a quartz tube.
Light infrared emitters have low performance. The efficiency of their infrared flux usually does not exceed 65%
The essence of the work is the double use of filament wire. The released thermal energy is partially used for direct heating, and partially for increasing the temperature of the quartz rod. A red-hot rod also emits heat.
The advantages of tubular devices include, quite reasonably, the resistance of all components made of quartz and ceramics to atmospheric negativity. The downside is the fragility of ceramic parts.
Specifics of operation and design of dark heaters
The so-called “dark” sources of IR fluxes are much more practical than their “light” counterparts. Their radiating element differs in structure for the better. The heated conductor itself does not emit thermal energy; it is supplied by the surrounding metal shell.
As a result, the operating temperature of the device does not exceed 400 - 600º. To ensure that thermal energy is not wasted, dark emitters are equipped with reflectors that redirect the flow in the desired direction.
Long-wave emitters of the dark group are not afraid of shocks and similar mechanical influences, because the fragile polymer or ceramic element in them is protected by a metal casing and a protective heat-insulating layer. The efficiency of emitters of this group reaches 90%.

But they are not without their drawbacks. Dark group heaters depend on the design features of the device. If the distance between the main radiating element and the surface of the device is large, then it will be washed and cooled by the air flowing past. As a result, efficiency decreases.
Due to their design features, dark models are installed for heating rooms with low ceilings and areas that require linear heat supply. Light - placed where processing of rooms with high ceilings and vertically elongated areas is required.

Peculiarities
A gas infrared heater is a heating device whose main function is to heat objects and heat areas using infrared rays.
The main indicator that proves the energy efficiency of an IR gas heater is the radiant efficiency. This efficiency indicator expresses the percentage of energy that is converted into heat radiation reaching the heating zone. New models of infrared gas heaters can have a heat transfer rate of up to 80%.
People first learned about a gas IR heater in 1938. The device was patented by the German G. Schwank. Currently, a world-class manufacturer of gas infrared equipment, the Schwank company, is named after him.
These heating devices are very convenient: they do not require a power supply or gas network (you can always have a supply of gas in cylinders). Some models are equipped with a control panel.
Thanks to direct heat transfer using infrared radiation:
- Energy is used more economically (only for its intended purpose).
- This heating method makes it possible to create a local thermal zone in a short period of time.
In addition, these devices will help you stay warm even outside the premises, for example, if you decide to relax with company on the porch or in the gazebo.
Design of the Bartolini IR gas heater
The undoubted advantage of an IR gas heater is its simple design.
There is a gas burner in a metal housing. There is also a device for adjusting the operation of the burner and a valve system, which are responsible for explosion safety and fire safety in the event of malfunctions in the functioning of the gas device or overturning of the structure itself.
However, that's not all. Separately, a gas burner is not yet a heating device. Of course, you can keep warm with it, just as you would with a gas stove. But most of the energy of the burned gas will be spent on heating the air, which, according to physical laws, will rise upward. In order for the burner to become a heater, IR emitters of different designs are used. These can be meshes, perforated sheets, metal pipes, and so on.
Based on the design features of gas infrared heaters that use the same principle of radiant heating, tubular gas infrared heaters can be distinguished. Their main constituent elements are:
- blow burner;
- metal pipes for radiation.

How to choose gas heaters for a summer house
The best option for heating residential premises with non-permanent residence may be portable devices of a catalytic operating principle. This is the safest option for gas equipment.
Factors determining the choice of device include:
- heater power;
- price;
- installation methods.
Most dacha communities are not connected to gas mains. Heaters powered by balloon equipment are suitable for them. It makes sense to install stationary gas appliances in dachas with year-round residence. They connect to pipes and radiators.
Question answer
What type of gas heater is best to choose for constant heating of rooms?
For these cases, wall-mounted models of gas equipment are best suited.
Which gas heaters are 100% safe?
If the rules for operating devices are violated, no device can give a 100% guarantee of safety.
To heat which rooms can a gas fuel heat gun be used?
In dachas, such devices can be used to heat residential premises, as well as basements and garages.
How to choose the right power of an infrared gas heater for residential premises in the country?
The area required for heating residential premises is determined at the rate of 1 kW per 10 square meters. m. This standard is adopted for standard insulation of a building. If the thermal insulation of a country house is poor, this figure must be increased 3 times.
What should you consider when heating your home with gas appliances?
Living spaces heated by gas equipment require regular ventilation.
Gas heaters are an ideal option for heating cottages that are not used for winter living. This equipment has high efficiency. Gas heating allows you to save significant amounts of money on heating.
Design and principle of operation of gas infrared heaters: choosing the best model
During the cold season, living spaces need proper heating. But it is not always possible to connect to a centralized system. In this case, people strive to purchase devices that will most effectively cope with the problem. As practice shows, an infrared gas heater is one of those household appliances that is capable of achieving impressive results in a short period of time. But few buyers are familiar with how such devices work. In this article we will talk about what are the advantages of infrared gas heaters, and what are the hidden nuances of use.
outdoor heaters
What are gas infrared heaters?
What is it for and where is it used?
An infrared gas heater is a device that is used for heating residential and non-residential premises. The choice of a specific household appliance depends on its power and the size of the room where it will be installed.
Depending on the intensity of work, high and low heaters are distinguished. They have different catalytic levels. Such models have been used since the fifties and can be placed at a safe height. This applies to high intensity heaters.
If we are talking about low, then such devices are safer and have a closed combustion type. When thermal energy is not required, the burner can be ignited using sparks that are transmitted through the pipe. The energy that is generated during this process is transferred to objects that are located within the reach of the device. This can be either furniture or people.
How it works: device and principle of operation
Most often you can find industrial gas infrared devices. However, there are certain models for home use. But despite the fact that the intensity and power of each device differs from each other, their operating principle is the same. Just like the building.
Each device consists of three main elements. This:
- Control block,
- lamp,
- reflector.
The control unit is the brain of the device. It is coated with a special substance to protect it from high temperatures. Lamps are installed in order to increase the intensity of work.
Such heaters are suspended from the ceiling or mounted on the walls. A thermostat is included with some models.
The advantage of such devices is that they can be placed in both ventilated and non-ventilated areas.
The principle of their operation is quite simple:
- The device body contains a burner control unit. It will ignite thanks to a stream of air and hot gases that enter the burner after you activate the power button.
- The flow of air and gases is supplied through the pipe.
- Gases flow through the assembly, the pipe reaches its maximum temperature and begins to emit energy in the infrared range.
- The energy is directed to the floor and then interacts with a polished reflector.
Thanks to the energy reflector, heat is transferred to all objects in the room.
This heating method allows you to maintain natural humidity, since a gas infrared heater does not dry the air by heating it, but gives heat to objects around.
Reviews of gas infrared heaters: pros and cons
A gas infrared heater has its positive and negative sides. Before purchasing such a device, you should know what difficulties or advantages you will face.
The positive aspects of using an infrared gas heater include the following factors.
- Economical fuel consumption.
- No dust rises during operation.
- It is possible to install several devices at once in one room.
- The installation height can vary at the request of the buyer.
- The buyer can independently change the direction of heat flow.
- Installation is simple.
- Portable attachments and mounts are available.
- Outside air can be used for the heating process.
- It works almost silently.
- Oversized, takes up little space.
Along with the positive aspects, there are also negative aspects. It is worth dwelling on them in more detail.
- Carrying out hygiene procedures. If the heater is outdoor, then it needs regular cleaning. This is necessary in order to extend the life of the device.
- In addition to cleaning, once a year you need to undergo a special check and simultaneous calibration.
- If the device breaks, repairing it will cost you quite a lot. The cost of such devices is high, starting from 5,000 rubles. You can purchase a good device with average functionality for 10,000 rubles.
Ceramic or catalytic heating element?
Surely, if you are faced with the question of purchasing a gas heater, you do not know which type of heaters to give preference to, catalytic or ceramic? Meanwhile, these two types differ significantly from each other.
If you compare the efficiency and power of each emitter, you can come to approximately identical results. The significant difference lies in the safety of the devices and their impact on human health.
A catalytic gas heater uses flameless combustion in its operation. Thanks to this, the heater has a minimal impact on the microclimate of the room. Therefore, if you are purchasing a device specifically for home use, then give preference to a catalytic emitter. Ceramic heaters have great power and wear resistance, so they are ideal for industrial premises.
The disadvantage of a catalytic heater is its high cost.
However, this is a temporary phenomenon, since such devices appeared on the market relatively recently. Soon the price will go down.
How to use technology correctly?
In order for a gas heater to please you with its operation for a long time, it is necessary to use it in the correct mode.
- Turn on the heater only when you feel discomfort while being in the room.
- When you reach the optimal temperature for you, turn off the heater not only by pressing the button, but also from the network.
- Regulate cleanliness and dust accumulation.
- If necessary, carry out dry or wet cleaning.
- Try not to furnish the room with foreign objects.
- Then, when the device is operating, there should be no thermal energy leaks in the room. Make sure windows and doors are tightly closed.
- If you think that over time the device has become less functional or that some function does not work, be sure to take it in for warranty repair.

Which manufacturer and which type is better to choose: TOP-3
Calculation of the minimum required power
In order to heat the room properly, the power of the device must correspond to the footage. So, an area of 10 square meters should have one and a half to two kW of power. This means that with a room area of 60 square meters, the power of the device should be 5 kW.
It’s great if the power of the device is slightly higher than in the calculations. This ratio will be useful if there are leaks of warm air, for example, due to an open window or door.
If the room is very crowded, then you may give preference to less powerful devices, since things can retain heat for a long time, which means that each new heating of the room will occur faster.
What else to consider when choosing a device?
- Be mindful of dimensions. As a rule, such devices are placed on walls, ceilings, and very rarely any devices are attached to the floor. Therefore, be sure to consider where the infrared heater will be located.
- If you prefer ceiling or wall mounting, be sure to check how strong the walls in your home are and whether they can withstand such a device.
- Your premises must be safe to install such a device.
- Make sure there are no open sources of fire nearby.
- Be sure to keep away from children.
3 best models
When choosing a gas infrared heating device, it is necessary to give preference to companies that have been producing similar models for many years and at a professional level. Only in this case can you count on quality.
