\"\"<\/a>Winter is approaching quickly. So it\u2019s high time for our adviser series on the subject of \u2018mobile heating\u2019. Discover which type of heater is best suited for which purpose. Under which circumstances you can also set up a heater outside your home. And how to calculate the heat output actually required based on the size of the room. Let\u2019s start with the advantages that an \u2018direct oil heater\u2019 offers \u2013 in the coming instalments we will compare them with those of indirect oil heaters and electric heaters.<\/h2>\n

Mobile heaters not only make the winter cold bearable, but also bring pleasant temperatures into building shells, warehouses or cattle sheds. Depending on their intended application in construction or industry, in agriculture or for various services, however, very different requirements are placed on the heaters. Do you only want to heat a building during the construction phase, or do you also want to dry it quickly? Do you need to heat well-ventilated winter construction sites, or do you need temporary accommodation, such as tents, to be kept at a comfortable temperature?<\/p>\n

There is an optimal heater for every individual application. In order to decide which heaters are best suited for which application, we will first take a closer look at the three most common types: direct and indirect oil heaters and electric heaters. Let\u2019s start with the direct oil heater: how does it work and what requirements is it best suited for?<\/p>\n

Direct oil heaters \u2013 function and operating conditions<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In a directly heated oil heater, the fan also supplies the combustion air and then blows out the heated air. To do this, fuel is first atomised, ignited and burnt in the combustion chamber. The hot gases are then mixed with the main air flow of the fan in a precise dose.<\/p>\n

Besides heat, direct heaters emit all combustion gases directly into the room as well. This is why direct heaters have no chimney and are unsuitable for closed rooms without good ventilation \u2013 especially when people and animals are in the room. Because a lot of moisture is also released during combustion, direct heaters should never be used to dry buildings.<\/p>\n

Direct oil heaters, on the other hand, are ideal for outdoor use or in well-ventilated interiors because they provide all of the generated heat. This process is therefore also referred to as 100% heat output.<\/p>\n
