Varieties
The device in question represents a category of electric heaters, since its operation requires mains current or from a generator. The main elements of the device are an asynchronous electric motor, a heating element, a fan and a plastic casing. The operation of the heater is based on a fairly simple principle.
The version of the fan heater determines the number of modes implemented in a particular model. Usually there are three or four of them: two or three degrees of air heating in combination with a ventilation mode. Moreover, with the help of the latter, the heater can effectively solve the problem of heating, and also brings coolness in the warmer months.
How the fan heater Veterok works
The design of the device must have a thermostat. Thanks to this element, the heater can turn on at the moment when the temperature in the room reaches a predetermined level. Automatic activation occurs at the moment when the air in the room is cooled. This principle of operation ensures cost-effectiveness of use.
This equipment has protection systems, the operation of which occurs in case of overheating, exceeding the limiting air temperature and during engine shutdown. At the same time, this appliance requires supervision by the user, since it does not have a tip-over protection. Models of such heaters produced today are often equipped with additional devices. Let's say it can be humidifiers, air purifiers or a time relay.

Wind with a metal spiral
This is a fan heater in which the role of the heating element is performed by a metal spiral. It heats up quickly, but has a significant drawback - oxygen is burned on the surface of the spiral. Therefore, the air that has passed through the fan heater loses part of its oxygen and is greatly dried. It is this property that provides Veterka with negative consumer reviews.
Dirt and dust caught on the metal coil is burned, which can cause a strong unpleasant odor. It is recommended not to place the appliances on the surface of the floor or dusty objects.
The fan heater is not designed for continuous operation, moreover, it has rather high noise levels. It is recommended to use it for quick heating of the room when the main heating system is turned off. The room should be ventilated periodically. It is strongly not recommended to leave the heater on at night: dry, oxygen-depleted air guarantees a severe headache in the morning. In the photo - Veterok with a metal spiral.
