Gas in nature is better and cheaper than alcohol. Buyers testify that a spirit-lamp does not give such a significant effect as blue fuel. Gas tourist heater is made more often based on a collet cylinder weighing 220 grams, it is easy to buy in specialized stores for hunting and fishing. Enough device for a few hours of work, get warm everywhere - in the car and the tent, in the woods and in the country. Good gas tourist heaters with low weight and compactness. Fit into a backpack easily.
The principle of operation of a gas heater is to heat a ceramic or steel grate or plate to a red glow in the flame of burning blue fuel. The grid is placed in the focus of the reflector, giving heat flow direction. The difference of tourist models in multi-functionality: on most burners it is permissible to cook food. It is convenient to hike and fishing.
Gas tourist heater BDN - 100( Forrest)
The model is more like an old computer when the monitor was standing on a horizontal system unit. It turns out a stand in the form of a parallelepiped, on top of it is a rectangular portal, looking just above the horizon, at the glowing strip of sunset behind the fisherman’s back. The angle of inclination is changing, which allows heat to be targeted as necessary. The ring hanging from the left helps light up the tourist heater in the cold( pull your finger over yourself).
The device is equipped with a protective grille, an open flame. The air goes along with heat to the user. There is no information about sensors for carbon dioxide content, like that of marching gas stoves, but there is a piezo electric ignition of a similar principle of operation used on compact hobs. To get a spark, open the gas supply handle until it stops. At the end there is a click indicating that the element is triggered. A blue light immediately flashes inside, the gas tourist heater for the BDN-100 tent goes into operation.
The knob can be turned in the opposite direction, reducing the gas consumption to the required level. The maximum consumption is 73 grams per hour( 1.3 kW), BDN-100 thermal gas heaters operate for at least 180 minutes. In moderate consumption regimes, the duration of gas burning reaches 4–5 hours. Nothing is said about the position of the Small flame inherent in the Hephaestus cooking panels, exercise caution, reducing the gas flow.
In this case, the fire is not visible, the blue tongues lick the ceramic rectangular plate, slightly smaller in size than the opening of the barred portal, on the reverse side. Burnt clay quickly turns red and gives the long-awaited warmth. Curious, but there is no fire at all. Even more surprising - when the flash goes out, the plate loses its color, turning pale in an instant. The device has a very low inertia, which is unusual for devices of this type( as well as snow-white ceramic plate).To turn off, lift the lever located at the bottom of the left side of the device.
In addition to the service for the work item, the ceramic plate reliably protects the fire from the wind, which makes the product a tourist device. The lion's share of heat is transferred by radiation, the hurricane will not prevent the traveler to warm up on a windy night. A convenient handle on top of the case is available for carrying the device. The weight of the heater is 2.5 kg. In size, he will climb into a roomy backpack or a fishing box. Available to use the product in a tent on the ice. Be wary of getting angry.
The cylinder is inserted into a special niche covered with a front panel. The lock snaps off, gets the old balloon. For proper installation, a special risk is applied on the body of the tank with gas, inserted into a special grip with protection against improper installation. Click the lever and close the lid. Release two executions of a gas tourist heater of BVDN - 100, green and red.
On the back wall of the case instruction in English. In conclusion, we note that the portal grating is flat. If sent to the sky, place a saucepan or pot on top to warm the food. Whether the instruction manual provides for such a manipulation of the gas tourist heater, remains a mystery.
Gas tourist heater Kovea KH 0710
A miniature tourist gas heater is not found in nature. In fact, it is just a hemispherical reflector with a spherical steel grid of fine-meshed mesh placed in focus. The reflector is located to the cook in a concave part.
The portal is closed with a flat grill, on which it is permissible if necessary to cook and reheat food. A special screw is used to adjust the angle of inclination, which allows you to install the device as needed. To prevent the device from falling, the case is supported by three steel wire legs with rubber tips. If the soles are frozen, it is possible to pull out the Kovea KH - 100 gas floor heater from an icy embrace.
The device works from a tourist balloon( not a collet), quietly standing next to it, while a red-hot grid gives warmth to people. The connection is made through a thin white hose, fitted on the end with a snap lock and a gearbox to adjust the fuel consumption. There is no information about the control of carbon dioxide in the products of combustion and combustion of the flame, handle with gas tourist heater more carefully.
Behind is a yellow piezo button. Control rests with the user:
- Attach the balloon by screwing on the head.
- Latch the lever.
- Open the fuel supply cock.
- Turn on the piezo freshener button.
You can hear a hissing sound and a fire will appear. Hemispherical mesh serves as a source of infrared radiation, protects the fire from the wind. The device can be called an assistant tourist.
Consider an increased noise level as a negative feature. But hissing in the cold is not annoying. The device when folded is placed in a convenient plastic box with a lid and takes up little space. It will fit in a hiking backpack. To make it easier to manipulate the already included gas tourist heater, on top of the steel wire handle, the device easily moves the device in the right direction.
Short specifications:
- Weight - 565 g.
- Maximum gas consumption - 66 g / min.
- Power - 0.9 kW.
- Dimensions 19 cm in any dimension.
Gas tourist heater Tierra TH 3200
Reflector and steel mesh with a platinum-coated device as two drops of water similar to KH 0710. The difference - there is a solid body in the form of a parallelepiped of ABS plastic. The casing itself is made according to the dimensions of a standing collet cylinder, which is inserted into the internal compartment with a slight click. Protection against improper installation is available. The compartment lid, located on the back face, closes with a slight click, which makes improper assembly impossible.
With a weight of just under 1 kg, the Tierra TH 3200 gas tourist heater has dimensions of 23x23x25 cm, which will make it possible to put equipment in a hiking backpack. Control knobs orange:
- Power control.
- Piezorozhzhig.
The first one resembles a hypertrophied channel selection knob near the radio, the second one represents a barely perceptible small button. The configuration of the protective grille of the circular portal of the tourist gas heater is flat, pointing the device to the sky, warming up food or preparing food. The flat shape of the back panel of the case suggests the idea that it will have to be done if necessary, which the advertising is silent about.
The ergonomic plastic handle( in the manner of a radio receiver) will not block the heat coming from the reflector, so tribute is paid to fire safety measures. The presence of a protective grid on the reflector gives the angler time to save the tent from damage when the device falls to the ground.
Maximum gas consumption 92 grams per hour at a power of 0.95 kW.Modest performance, but the ergonomics remains for the described model.
In conclusion,
Considered gas mini-heaters, most often flashing in the press. The described opportunities will be enough for the angler and the hunter to use the device and the buyer for choosing the appropriate device.
Which preference, ergonomics Tierra or compactness of Kovea can only be answered by a tourist, fisherman or hunter in nature far from the rest of humanity. Other models on the shelves do not differ from those considered unique properties. Before the eyes of the reader swept the best gas heaters of a compact type.
Going on a journey, do not neglect the modern insulating materials. The tourist rug weighing 300 grams will not be afraid to catch a cold on vacation between forced marches. Take the best from civilization. Modern polymers are already working in body armor, tourists were given a host of useful technologies.
