Homemade heater in the garage: the device with your hands

Few in the construction of the garage allows for heating. Therefore, in the operation room has to be heated independently. Agree to buy heaters for the periodic use of expensive and sometimes impractical.

Some craftsmen doing his own unit, using inexpensive materials. We suggest you familiarize yourself with the three most popular solutions on the organization of individual heating.

Before you make a homemade heater for the garage, you must understand the operation of each unit, its structure and study the order of assembly.

General recommendations for the creation of devices

In an effort to save costs, many owners of an article, choosing among options heaters, not in a hurry to get ready the factory model.

After all, having the desire and having the appropriate skills heating device is always possible to construct on its own.

at selecting a heater for the garageWhich can be done by hand, many are guided by two parameters:

1. Heating device must be activated easily, quickly warm the room.
2. The device should have a simple structure devoid of complex parts and elements.
3. Operation is carried out with minimal financial costs.

All these requirements are met by three options described below improvised heaters that run on different sources of energy: on gas, solid fuel and of electricity.

Equally important is the safety of the device. Therefore, regardless of the heating method in a garage need equipped with a ventilation system. After reducing the amount of oxygen and accumulation of combustion products carries the risk to human life.

Homemade gas heater

The main advantage of this model is that its manufacture requires a minimum of parts, which will always be on the farm every craftsman.

The only disadvantage of a gas heater - the need to ensure adequate ventilation.

Preparation of materials and components

To make the gas heater in the garage, you need to prepare in advance:

• burner with the valve;
• tin sheet;
• Metal scissors;
• drill with a thin drill;
• rivets;
• klepochnik.

For the manufacture of the lattice need the segment meshed metal net. Well, if the hand is an ordinary wire mesh colander on, it will act as a protective screen.

Collet bottles are convenient in that their use can not directly consume the entire contents. The presence of overlapping of valves allows the use of multiple devices.

If desired, a heatable design can be made based on not only the disposable cartridges used for refueling of lighters, and making use of a small but refilled cylinder.

Cutting blanks and assembly design

In the manufacture of structures first of all fixed to the burner heater.

In the direction of the four sides printed on blank sheet galvanizing pririsovyvat four rectangular tab. One of the ears should be done two times longer than the others. According to the planned contour cut blanks, trying to make smooth, devoid of burrs sections.

Burner by means of bolts screwed to the sheet metal blank cut. Placed on the four sides of the preform the lugs are folded in the opposite direction and are used for fixing the strainer.

To attach a second safety net, take another sheet of tin and the segment cut out from it exactly the same size circle. By harvesting pririsovyvat elongated ears, necessary for fixing the mesh.

Stepping back from the edge of the circle in half centimeter, is drilled along the circumference 10 of the through holes. From the cut fine-mesh metal mesh strip is cut, the length of which corresponds to the diameter of the cut sheet metal blank.

Folded tabs tin preforms circular shape is fixed to the opposite sides of the mesh strip via klepochnika and rivets. In the assembled state is supposed to be a cylinder with mesh walls and tin ends.

The construction comprising two grids, is advantageous in that a large heating surface and is equipped with additional protection.

At the final stage can only turn on a gas water heater to check its performance. The heat produced by this little device will be enough to ensure that heat a small room or a garage.

Stove from used bottle

Stoves, popular a hundred years ago, and today do not hand over their positions, was the main source of heat in the garage and utility room. And their main advantage is that they can work not only on the wood, but on the whole, that burns.

The minimum wall thickness of such structures should be 2-3 mm but still the best option - 5 cm, whereby it will be possible to use any kind of fuel. If we compare the model of horizontal and vertical design, the first gain in terms of ease of loading logs.

The construction of vertical design

The simplest embodiment involves the use of manufacturing stoves gas cylinder: a heating body design is ready, it remains only to arrange the compartments under the tab and fuel ash pan. The height of the cylinder is about 850 mm, diameter in girth - 300 mm, and a sufficient wall thickness allows to use any kind of fuel.

To build a structure vertically installed cylinder is divided into two unequal parts by volume:

• top - it occupies 2/3 of the design serves as a receiving chamber for laying wood;
• lower - it occupies 1/3 of the construction and serves to collect ash.

For manufacturing stoves in the cylinder wall to the size of each of the two sections are cut holes for arrangement of doors. The doors themselves can be built from the cut piece of balloon wall or cut from sheet metal.

At the boundary between the upper and lower compartment mounted grate. But since the finished cast-iron grate of suitable size are hard to find, for its production using thick bars.

In the upper part of the cylinder cut hole for chimney diameter of at least 150 mm. This member can be welded from sheet metal cutting. The main thing - that the diameter of the resultant tube corresponds with the size of the chimney in order to simplify interfacing.

The doors fitted with locks and is secured to the housing by welding. If desired, the loops can be made of several thick steel chain links.

To close the doors formed by the perimeter slot on the outside of the perimeter of the blank is better to weld a small ledge - metal band width 1.5-2 cm. The finished design can only be connected to a chimney and test.

Model with a horizontally disposed housing

The horizontal arrangement of the housing compartment for the collection of ash from the bottom welded construction. The main compartment is designed for the batch of fuel and discharge of burnt coal. It is equipped with flue pipe diameter of 10 cm.

In doing a side wall of the housing opening for the installation of the furnace door. Its size must not exceed the diameter of the chimney pipe. Itself equipped with the latch and the door is mounted on hinges.

In the housing wall which is directed downwards, bore holes. They will serve as a grate.

To improve heat transfer incandescent furnace chimney can be made in the form of an elongated polygonal structure. The main thing with equipping stoves chimney - avoid horizontal sections. Some masters to improve space heating are building around the cylinder housings made of sheet metal.

But do not forget that the stove is a potential danger. And because the room where it is installed, you should periodically ventilate.

Production desktop unit heater

This type of device is a heater and a fan in one person. If desired, homemade heater It can be used as a makeshift air conditioner.

This type of heater is convenient in that it allows to adjust the heating temperature and fan speeds.

Selection of the necessary materials

To create a heater require such materials:

• rheostat;
• switch;
• power connector;
• electric wire;
• LED Strip Light;
• computer cooler 12 volts;
• trehamperny power supply to 12 volts;

For fixing the heating element will also require two desyatisantimetrovyh rod of copper wiring section of 1.5 square millimeters

Of the tools necessary to prepare:

• jigsaws;
• punch or drill;
• soldering;
• hole saw;
• glue for wood;
• "Moment" or superglue;

To clean wood harvesting, removing burrs along the edges, also need to fine-grained sandpaper.

Assembling the body parts

Future heater will have the shape of a cube. The housing is collected from the wooden planks to 9 mm thick.

To be cut:

• two billets measuring 12 * 12 cm;
• 3 details size 10.2 * 10.2 cm;
• two rectangular blanks 12 * 10.2 cm;
• four small rectangular size of 1.5 cm * 1.

For the manufacture of wooden constructions legs coli D12 of 2 mm sawn blank length of 3 cm each.

To simplify your task, to make a paper pattern, the dimensions of which correspond to the dimensions of 12x12 cm billets. Counting hole arrangement is applied directly to the pattern. They are applied to each of the parties and drilled through.

The workpiece 10.2 * 10.2 cm, to withstand a distance of 2.5 cm from the edge, doing a hole D7 mm. At the same second blank made of the same two holes, to withstand the distance therebetween is 2.5 cm. In the third billet 10.2 * 10.2 cm in the middle make a hole through D9 cm.

In each of the four rectangular blanks of size 1 * 1.5 mm holes doing a D5 mm.

On the long side of the rectangle measuring 12 * 10.2 cm, departing from the edge by 1.2 cm, doing a two holes D12 mm withstood spacing of 7 cm.

Inside the housing is set square billet with a drilled hole in a 9 cm. After that, attach the last rectangular piece, closing the housing structures. At the final stage glued legs.

Installation warming elements

The role of the heating element will act stretched between two copper rods spring. To determine whether the spring approaches, it is necessary to connect a 12-volt power source and make measurements with a multimeter.

So to create a heat flux is sufficient if the meter reading will be 2.5 A. With these parameters in power of 12 W is generated of the order of 30 Celsius.

The selected spring is soldered to the copper rods whose ends are fixed to the workpiece size 1h1,5 cm. The assembled structure is adhered to the corners of the housing. To the ends of the exposed rods soldered "tails" of the electric cable. After that, attach the bar equipped with holes.

Fixing cooler inside the casing, the same manipulation performed by a rheostat, switch and power connector.

If all the structural elements are connected correctly, at the moment when the rheostat on the LED tape lights up blue light. At the time of the circuit breaker LED strip will become a magenta tint, which is the main background blue create purple. Thereafter, the spring starts to heat the heater.

Assembled structure from the outside can only be sanded and treat wood wax, or 2-3 same varnish layer.

Thanks presentable appearance of such a heater can be safely used not only for heating the garage, but also in the regeneration of the living rooms.

Alternative embodiments economical heating garage described in this article.
