Heat guns are successfully used to heat industrial, utility and residential premises. The principle of their operation is in many ways similar to a fan heater. Cold air passes through the heater, after which it is supplied to a certain point in the room. Among the many models on the market, the Ballu heat gun has gained great popularity, which will be discussed further.
Varieties of heating appliances of the Ballu brand
According to the reviews of equipment sellers, this brand has won a high score among many manufacturers of heating equipment. The units are used for heating rooms and construction sites.
Depending on the type of energy consumed, Balu brand heat guns are divided into three types:
- Appliances powered by electricity are commonly used to heat residential and other premises. At the construction site, they are practically not used. The device and operation of the device resembles an electric fan heater. A heating element is installed inside the cylindrical or rectangular case. The fan pushes air through the heater, which is directed with a directed flow through the nozzle of the cannon to the object. Electric cannons have the lowest cost among units powered by another type of fuel. During operation, the appliance does not burn oxygen, but cannot be used in facilities where there is no electrical connection.
- Diesel heat gun Balu can be of direct and indirect heating type. The design of the first unit is arranged so that the fire is located directly near the nozzle. Direct heating allows high efficiency to be achieved, as the outlet temperature rises to 600aboutC. However, together with the heat from the nozzle, combustion products come out, therefore such heaters are not used in residential premises. The torch of the indirectly heated cannon is located in the combustion chamber. The passing air is heated from its metal walls. The combustion products are discharged through a discharge hose. Indirect heaters are less efficient, but they work safely in rooms where people are staying.
- The device of gas heat guns is similar to diesel units. The main difference is the operation from a different type of fuel. The heater is capable of operating from a cylinder with propane-butane and natural gas supplied from the mains.
Each type of heat gun is produced with different power, which allows the consumer to choose a suitable model for heating the object.
Electric Heater Series
The Ballu electric gun is produced in two series: BHP and BKX. All of them work on the principle of a fan heater, where a heating element acts as a heater.
BHP series

The BHG series of gas heat guns includes seven models. Units equipped with a piezo ignition element are designated BHG-M. The manufacturer offers only two such heaters with a capacity of 10 and 17 kW. Work gas cannons BHG based on the direct heating principle, which achieves 100% efficiency. In addition to the thermostat, the heaters are equipped with a protection that stops the fuel supply in the event of a flame extinguishing or a fall of the unit.
Three models can be distinguished from this series in terms of popularity:
- The BHG-20 unit has a power of 17 kW. For an hour, the cannon is capable of heating up to 400 m3 air.

- The Ballu BHG-60 professional heat gun has a maximum power of 53 kW. It will warm up to 1450 m in an hour3 air.
All gas cannons are equipped with a two-meter high pressure hose and a reducer.
Diesel heaters
Diesel appliances of this brand have two series: BHDP and BHDN. The last letter in the marking can be used to determine the type of heating: P - direct, and N - indirect. Diesel heaters are large in size. To move them, they are equipped with wheels. The BHDP series is represented by powerful models. Their characteristics are presented in the table.
Heaters of indirect heating have an efficiency of no more than 82%. The Ballu BHDN 20 heat gun has the weakest power, but it is enough to heat a living space. The characteristics of the models of indirect heating are presented in the table.
