Already discussed how to make a night vision device with your own hands, the review stated that the equipment class does not work without illumination in pitch darkness. If something is visible with the stars, the natural radiation of objects plus avalanche amplifiers in a snap are to blame. Without these two factors, it is impossible to discern objects. In a locked room at low air temperature, the night vision device will be powerless. Infrared illumination dramatically changes the situation, for the implementation often uses the LEDs of the desired range. The night vision device gives a clear image of objects where invisible rays fall. Today it is proposed to consider the task of how to properly install an infrared heater personally, without relying on the assurances of sellers.
A typical method for calculating
. An infrared ceiling heater on the floor draws a figure close to an oval. A suitable manufacturer on the site provides figures to facilitate the calculation of the configuration and placement of products. The area of the heated figure depends on the distance from the floor and the design of the device. Similarly, wall models work.
Night vision goggles and infrared heaters
Those who read the story of homemade night vision goggles remember that the design contains an amateur movie camera viewfinder. The source of the image is a specialized device - night microcamera.
The viewfinder is removed from the cameraman's equipment, then an image is fed to the input. It remains to add lighting, the role of its play heater. Let's make a reservation that we are talking mainly about ceiling fixtures. It is known that builders estimate the temperature of different points with a thermal imager, which gives a clear picture, and the price of the device sometimes goes off scale for 150,000 rubles. And I want to install an infrared heater under the ceiling correctly, and it is a pity to pay the amount of a heartbreaking, getting professional equipment that is not in demand at home.
What does the night vision device and thermal imaging. As an emitter of arbitrary configuration, the infrared heater has a radiation pattern. The graph of irregular shape, when we read on the website of the manufacturer Peony, that the device covers a band of 1.5 by 6 meters, we understand that in practice we will get a different rectangle than we did in the imagination. Worse, if the heater is installed crooked. At a considerable height of the suspension, the radiation is strongly shifted to the side. You need to get to the specified area. Try to feel the heat of the skin. We offer simpler and more effective ways. So, if there is no thermal imager at home, the following methods will help to install the infrared heater correctly: 
- The night vision device cannot be called a simple design, but the technique will interest children, it is not too expensive if you remember that the price of a cheap camera is 3000 rubles. We are sure that you will get a second-hand thing cheaper, or go to the nearest repair shop and ask the viewfinder for workers. Surely the acquisition cost will be pennies. It is useful to capture the night vision microcamera to check equipment compatibility. It will take a battery or a source of low-voltage power, however, in the workshop they know about it, they will be happy to help build the assembly. If the design works, collect the things in a single case, connect the batteries and set off in the dark to look at the spots of the invisible light with the naked eye. When installing two or more infrared heaters, ensure that the brightness is the same at the intersection of the radiation patterns and in the middle, provided that the same heating is required. There is an opportunity to create a spot of arbitrary outlines with elevated temperature. This will allow:
- Use low-power heaters, which are unsuitable according to SNiP calculations separately, without providing a given power density of radiation.
- Create a uniform heating field in a given area.
- Creating an area a little colder, for example, for sleeping or benches for bench press in the gym. We believe there is no need for athletes to explain the importance of coolness. Independently install an infrared heater without the help of devices impossible.
- Warm parts of the walls that suffer shock losses. The undertaken step increases the durability of structures, improves the general operating conditions of the building.
The listed problems are solved by a thermal imager, but the device is too expensive. In hunting, night vision devices and thermal imagers are also used. The latter aim at the spectrum given by living bodies, leaving the rest in the shadows. We argue that the brightness of infrared radiation will catch both types of devices.
- The second way to arrange correctly infrared heaters is easier, but it takes longer. These are non-contact thermometers, costing within a couple of thousand rubles. It is possible to use in many cases, for example, by measuring the temperature of a child. Actually, for children the products of a certain Scandinavian company are intended. The range fits into the frame of 0 - 100 ºС, which is enough for our case with an excess. We are trying to hang infrared heaters, wait for the picture to be established, perform measurements. It will take more time, but do not need to go to the workshop.
Both methods have advantages and disadvantages, they will allow to install the equipment correctly. For organizations, thermometers will not provide tangible help, the amount of work is large, and you need to do it faster than competitors and with better quality. The second method is good for the house, it provides a tool that will be useful in various cases of life. We know that the site is visited by people who love to do unimaginable chips with their own hands, so we put the image taken from the article at /publ/ termometr_na_mikrokontrollere / 1-1-0-21, where the story is about how to make a thermometer with your own hands. The range of operation of the device fits into the range from -55 to +125 ºС, readings are given with an accuracy of 0.5 ºС.The device is not remote, which means that the baby will not measure the temperature, but it is very suitable for the topic of the review.
We'll have to walk from edge to room edge to draw a thermal field. We recommend drawing a plan in advance and supplying it with measured values. This will help install a wall-mounted infrared heater: the field of temperatures is whimsical and difficult to calculate. We will not steal the idea of thermometers from the authors, the design parameters are given on the referenced site. Finally, it is possible to buy a ready-made infrared thermometer( pyrometer) in the store, do not expect great accuracy( for a small price), but it will give a picture. We'll have to sweat to collect information.
The importance of installing the
infrared heater correctly In residential buildings, windows form a kind of chasm in a solid barrier to heat. Every builder knows that on the thermal imager the glass apertures blaze with bright red fire against the background of the blue house. They are placed under the window sills of the battery, allowing you to compensate for leaks and heat the draft. What happens to the wall? Heat losses of the building envelope depend on the temperature difference on both sides. Consequently, by heating one edge, we increase the amount of money thrown out onto the street. In some cases, the walls need to warm up when you want to move the dew point away, but traditionally heating the walls - just extra waste.
Thermal imagers are used to ensure uniform heating. For example, when installing an infrared heater Teplolit on a wall, it is necessary to insulate the area for installation with foil or other heat insulator, the dew point should not move deeper in order not to reduce the durability of the supporting structures.
What thickness of insulation to choose. Thermal imager will help! It turns out to do without the device at the cost of unnecessary expenses or reducing the durability of the building. Professional devices are expensive, but directly reduce waste.
Similarly, a night vision device will help you to install the infrared heater panel correctly. Choose a section of the wall cooler and hang the cloth there. Feeling the wallpaper will not allow you to properly install an infrared heater. During installation, the factor of total power will gain value:
- points of suspension;
- global picture of the temperature field of the walls, floor, ceiling.
Only taking into account the related aspects install wall infrared heater correctly. We hope that explained the nuances of placement of heating devices.
