Although being in the sun and enriches the skin with vitamin D, prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation causes burns or more serious consequences, which makes a tanning bed a dubious device. But devices using ultraviolet light were originally invented to eliminate bacteria, since ultraviolet rays have disinfecting properties. Nevertheless, there are still devices using ultraviolet radiation for heating, which can be partially called heaters.
Advantages and Disadvantages of

Ultraviolet The main advantage of ultraviolet is its disinfecting properties. It penetrates the DNA of bacteria and destroys reproductive cells, preventing their reproduction. However, a person can not worry about their genetic code, it reliably protects the skin and ultraviolet rays will not get to him. And also, scientists and psychiatrists have proved that being under the sun helps in the treatment of depressive disorders, and this is also the reason for the phenomenon of “autumn depression”, which fights people in the long absence of sunlight. Other benefits of UV rays include:

- helps plants accumulate vitamin A, which they use in photosynthesis;
- stimulates the production of beneficial for human vitamin D, which helps to maintain normal blood sugar levels.
Disadvantages of ultraviolet radiation are also significant:
- prolonged exposure to the sun will lead to burns and more serious consequences, including cancer;
- possible severe burns of the cornea of the eye( a person gets light burns almost every day when he goes out into the street, but the eye recovers from them independently).
Ultraviolet-based devices.

The phrase "ultraviolet heaters" does not mean a heater in the traditional sense of the word. Such devices have the form of a conventional lamp that performs various functions, usually disinfectants. They are made of special glass.

Such lamps can be seen in hospitals;either large in the wards( with their help they disinfect the room in the absence of patients), or small ones that help in the treatment of colds - the ultraviolet rays are directed to the nose and their heat can cure a cold. They are also used on the same principle, but for the treatment of ear infections - the lamp is sent to the ear.

UV sterilizer for aquarium

The device used to clean aquariums is assembled from a small cylinder with two tubes inside for water inlet and outlet. Inside this cylinder is an ultraviolet lamp. The principle of operation of the device is that dirty water enters through one tube, undergoes disinfection from ultraviolet rays, and comes out through another tube that is already purified. However, cleaning the aquarium with this device is not always effective because, for example, in large aquariums, the device will not be able to collect water that is closer to the bottom of the aquarium, and it will partially remain dirty. And in salt water because of the density, the device is generally useless.

This device is not recommended to be used on a permanent basis, since ultraviolet rays destroy not only harmful bacteria, but also those that are useful for fish, snails and other inhabitants of aquariums.

Ultra-violet lamp from mosquitoes

It is a device that looks like a cell through which a current passes through with ultraviolet LEDs inside. The principle of operation of the device is that ultraviolet radiation attracts insects, they sit on the grid and discharge the current eliminates them. The advantages of the device are obvious, but the disadvantages include the inability to work in the daytime and in rainy weather.

Where are used ultraviolet heaters

In addition to scaring insects and disinfecting medical institutions, ultraviolet heaters are used for other purposes:
- In beauty salons use ultraviolet devices for processing manicure tools;those that cannot be treated with another type of disinfection.
- In the spa, you can find towel dryers, devices that resemble cabinets, inside of which are a heating element and UV lamps that dry and disinfect towels.
- There are ultraviolet shoe dryers that are two small appliances with a heating element inside and an ultraviolet lamp.
- At dental centers, light fillings are installed with their help.
- Preventing the multiplication of bacteria in swimming pools.
Conclusion

When selecting a heater, you do not need to stop your choice on an ultraviolet device - such devices are simply unsafe to keep in the house, because, as already mentioned, even in medical institutions they disinfect with ultraviolet heaters only when there are no people in the room. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays damages eyes and skin. For warming up the house it is worth considering infrared gas heaters or electric convectors.
