The catalytic warmer is interesting because her can be used many or many times. With active use frames enough for several years. They are of different shapes and colors, but the principle of all catalytic heels is the same. For those who have never enjoyed a catalytic heating - this article will be very useful, and those who already have, will be able to find useful tips for the extension of "life" heating.
So, what is a catalytic warmer and how it works. It is a small size device that disassembled into three parts: Reservoir, cap with a catalyst and a cover. The gell allocates heat in the free oxidation of gasoline vapor in the presence of a catalyst. From the tank, gasoline pairs are received and pass through a cap with a catalyst, where the oxidation on the surface of the already heated catalyst occurs at a temperature of slightly above 100 degrees, with heat transfer to the heating body.
How to refuel and what to use gasoline to refill.
When people hear about gasoline, all the question arises: "And how much is it difficult to refuel the heating?" Actually gilletcan be replacedvery easy and gently. Gasoline is suitable for her, but it is recommended to use only purified. First, it does not stink! Secondly, if you use ordinary gasoline, then you significantly reduce the "life" of your height. We use for the heating the cheapest of purified gasolines - this gasoline "Kalosha". It can be bought at any economic store and it costs about 20 UAH.
Complete to the heating floor there is a special ending for comfortable refueling. To accurately fill the catalytic warmer, you can use the syringe, then chances to shed gasoline or stain your hands minimal. Syringe gasolineyou can pour in a watering can or immediately in the tank of the heaters, who as convenient. But if gasoline got on his hands, then there is nothing terrible, just wash your hands with soap.
How to calculate how many hours to fill the catalytic warmer
If you do not need to heat the warmer all day, but only few hoursthen you should fill the heating ground at the rate of 1 ml per 1 hour of work. And add several additional milliliters for stock.
If you want the heater to work all day, then refuel it completely. How to figure out that the warmer is complete? In the tank you will see the vat, it is needed in order to delay gasoline. Dripping gasoline on a cotton, periodically turn the reservoir. When the tank will be complete, the rolling can no longer be able to hold gasoline and you will see how from the reservoir dripping gasoline. If, when turning the tank from it, gasoline flows, which means you were fulfilled completely. Wait until the gasoline stalks, close the heating.
If you are the first time you use the heating, then the catalyst needs to "run".
Before starting work absolutely new heating catalyst needs to "run" For better work. This requires a lighter, the best turbo lighter. We take carefully cap with a catalyst with pliers (for non-dissimilarity it is possible with scissors) and we swallow well from two sides on fire. If you have not found a lighter, it can be done above the kitchen stove, but it is necessary to do it very carefully so as not to spoil the catalyst. It is not recommended to do it over the fire.since you cap the catalyst and reduce its service life.
Before the next use is not necessary to calculate the catalyst., 10 seconds to hold the lighters over the fire.
And what to do next?
After the operation done, we wear a cap with a catalyst for a tank, top cover. For better work I melous in the hands of the tank and through a couple of minutes we already feel warm. Then we can put the heating in your pocket or in a mittens, put in a cover and hang on the neck.
What is the heat heating temperature?
The heater can heat up to 60 degreesbut in this case it is worth it hold in casewhich is included. The heating temperature of the catalytic heating is depends on the environment. If on the street Lyuti frost, then in your pocket the guide will be approximately warm to the 45th degrees. the main thing let's grace oxygen. If you put the warmer in the mittens, then re-pull it out from there, otherwise it will go out.
If you take a height with you, grab to her and lighter. In the event that the guide is walked less than in a minute it turns on it again.
How to "turn off" the heating?
When oxygen flow stops, warmer stops working. You can close access to oxygen For a few minutes andgloor cool. Either you can remove cap with catalyst and heinstantly wonder. Only caution, hot cap!
What to do if there is no need to use the heating floor, and gasoline remained in the tank?
It is always necessary to take into account that gasoline evaporates. If a gasoline stayed in the tank, then in a few days (depending on how much it remains) he evaporate. So he evaporated slower, put on food (or construction) film on the tankwhere gasoline is poured. In order not to breathe evaporations (although they are insignificant, for example, on the street from evaporation machines much more), put the cockpit in the case, and even better on the balcony.

The catalytic heater works on the principle of oxidation of gasoline vapor on the catalyst, where a chemical reaction occurs with heat release, which is transmitted to the metal body of the heating.
Before use, carefully examine this instruction!
- As a fuel, use only special peeled gasoline for lighters. The use of other types of foolet only leads to the harness out of the order;
- Do not refill the heating fuel on the edge. Between the catalyst and the upper boundary of the fuel level should be 1 cm.;
- If the guide is completely cooled, the evaporation of gasoline stops and the drill fades. Use the available package to prevent full cooling cooling or always keep it in minimal heat;
- In room conditions, the heater is heated to 60-70 ° C. Be prepared for the fact that in the cold the temperature of the working grarelkibets is very lower;
- In the cold time to start the heating, it is recommended to heat the body of the heating hull, in addition to the catalyst, it is a relief;
- In the vertical position, the heated warms up the strongest, due to the more intense evaporation of the fuel, the consuming,, accordingly, increases;
- It is recommended to start the heating in advance, even in comfortable conditions, without wind and warm. Make it in the cold, frozen fingers, in the wind will be extremely difficult;
- Do not allow children to use the heat;
- To avoid poisoning, do not inhale the pairs of fuel and oxidation products.
The procedure for the catalytic gasoline
- Remove the heating cover;
- Draw a catalyst;
- Insert the funnel for fuel to fill the capacitance into the hole;
- Make sure that the lever on the funnel is at the bottom of "Lock";
- Install the heating floor vertically and pour the necessary amount of fuel into the funnel. Move the lever on the funnel to the "open" position and the fuel will go inside the heating. If the fuel has shifted through the edge, wipe the heating with a dry napkin or a cloth. To fill the heathele completely, it is necessary to pour 12, 24 or 36 ml. Fuel for different heating, which corresponds to 1, 2 years of funnels;
- After refueling, install the catalyst in place;
- Rotate the heating ground to the horizontal position and bring to the catalystly signed match or lighter;
- Warm the catalyst 10 - 15 seconds to the sensation of the heat transition to the metal circuit heating;
- Place the seat cover and place it in the case;
- When cooled the heating, repeat the procedure for refueling and warming up;
- To stop the heating process, remove the heat cover and carefully, with the help of a dense tissue, remove the catalyst. Customer! He is very hot! When contacting the skin, burn is possible! After cooling, install it in place. Now the gagmed will work until you warm up the catalyst again.

Today I want to tell about one of my very long-time shopping.
Catalytic height, which I bought on eBay two years ago.
Now we get cool, and I again began to use this useful thing. At the same time I decided to tell about her.
I'll start with the definition. Suddenly someone does not know exactly how the catalytic warmers work:
What is a catalytic warmer:NTTHM after a small entry, you can go to the subject of review.
This device is a chemical heating, the purpose of which consists in the individual warming of a person with the help of a free oxidation of high purification gasoline. In four years of World War I, the inventors of England, Japan and the United States have created several variants of pocket-type liquid heating. To start the instrument, the tank was filled with alcohol, which absorbed into wool, after which the device was warmed with a flame of matches - as a result of this, a catalytic reaction occurred. Today, the catalytic heater for the hands and heating of other parts of the body has been widely used among tourist hiking lovers, fishing, hunting, winter sports. She acquired greater demand in conditions related to work on the street. In the Soviet Union, manufacturers produced gasoline heating GK-1, which at full refueling was able to produce heat for 8-14 hours with a temperature indicator up to 60 degrees.
Principle of operation of the catalytic heights:
The device of the catalytic heights is relatively simple, because The device consists of a housing made of metal, without additional parts outside. In size, most models are correlated approximately with a palm of an adult man. Inside the case is a reservoir, and the catalyst is attached to the neck. In the latter is a wool that is soaked with gasoline. The neck is closed with a dense lid, but it has holes through which air flows to the catalyst.
The principle of operation of the device is based on heat release, which is accompanied by a free oxidation of gasoline vapor in the presence of a catalyst. Through a special catalytic cartridge, a pair of gasoline pass. They are subjected to oxidation of oxygen on the surface of the already preheated catalyst, i.e. These couples burn without flame. Oxidation products exit the device through the ventilation openings of the cover. At the same time, air containing oxygen begins to flow to the surface of the catalyst. The catalyst (catalytic mesh) is a platinum part that has the appearance of a wick is the most important component of the heating part. Inside it is steel mesh cartridge. To start the grid in a catalytic cartridge, it must be warm up for 10-15 seconds, using a flame that does not give soot, for example, a lighter. The fuel used for the heating is the gasoline, which passed through the highest degree of cleaning. The use of other types of fuel leads to a rapid spider mesh - a phenomenon is called "catalyst poisoning".
I bought a drift on ebay. Bought on the principle of "cheapest offer". The links where there is no longer there, so in the header link to the cheapest option that found. Although it is possible and cheaper.
I, then I remember he took two heels. One for myself, the second for the Father. Both roots work perfectly, warm.
At the time of arrival in the parcel, the ground was in the box, but it is clear that in two years the box is not preserved. At the usual time, the warmer is stored in my felt bag, which was included. Here it is:
The grain itself is a metal surge, which greatly slides in his hands. For two years of wearing in a case, the boards did not feel at all, did not scratch and nothing happened to her. Here are looking for:
And what happens to her if she is always in a case?
For those who are interested, I will show the dimensions:
The heating hull is made entirely of metal. I can assume that it is a stainless steel, but I can be mistaken. The housing itself is collapsible and consists of several parts: the cover, nozzle with a catalyst, and a pot with a cotton. In the photo you can see that the heater was in use many times, so the nozzle with the catalyst has traces of Nagara. But on the heating properties of the heating, it has not yet affected:
If you remove the catalyst, you can see the wool that you need to impregnate with gasoline or other combustible fluid:
For the sake of interest, I tried to remove the lid to look at the inside, and she starred. Before that, I never watched what inside. And inside the usual wool, laid by layers:
In the photo everywhere, the warming condition after two years is not very frequent in the cold season.
Now I will tell about how I use the heating.
As a combustible fluid, I use gasoline for lighters, which I buy offline at a price of 400Tend (about $ 1.1) offline:
Included with the drill was also a special filler funnel:
With it, I pour gasoline to the heating. Pour usually on the first division of the funnel. Sometimes more.
Then I put the catalyst in place and set on with ordinary matches:
In the description of the product, and the instructions above it is written that you need to heat the catalyst for 15-20 seconds. But in my case, 2-3 matches take up the catalyst heating. Faster catalyst does not light up.
By the way, this photo shows that the catalyst center is no longer incandes:
Most likely due to the permanent hitch, it is already spoiled in this place.
After the catalyst is lit, the heating of the heating takes a few minutes. If you do not remove it into the case, then literally after 2-3 minutes, the heater is felt quite hot:
But the promised 60 degrees like the Soviet CT-1 this warmer is clearly not gaining.
One filling of the heating was enough for me on average for 4-7 hours. It depends on how much gasoline I flooded.
I use this warmer in several options. In the fall, at work, the heating has not yet been given, and in the premises are already cool. I light the heating ground, cleaning it into the case and Suoy it in the rear pocket of jeans. The ass of the heater, warmly goes to the lower back, and in the end the whole body is warm.
Of course there is another option:
Heaters "Good warmth"!But not everyone at work is applicable.
Our couriers will deliver them to you right in the apartment in tanks 0.5, 0.7 and
1 liter…
Also this warmer I always take with myself on winter fishing. Whatever good and warm clothes I do not stock, the heater, lying in the inner pocket for the sinus, gives a pleasant warmth that is very pleasant warming. Especially since I am an enemy of taking fishing liquids for Sugrev.
According to the results of biennial use, I can safely say that this is a very successful purchase.
But now I probably would have added money better, and I bought the original Zippo's warmer. Here in such a color:
According to reviews the quality of these heights is much higher than that of Chinese. They have catalysts from the present titanium alloy, which is more reliable and more durable. Well, plus the appearance is more interesting.
That's all. I wish all the heat, these already cool autumn days. Take care of yourself and your health. I plan to buy +60. Add to favourites I liked the review +92 +148
Such devices were known in the Communists and were sold in sports stores - the principle of their work is simple and simple: the fuel pairs go to the "combustion chamber", filled with a catalyst, where and safely burn without flame, at a moderate temperature, while almost completely.
Today, those Soviet, the samples can still be found on the flea markets, but the object of our attention is today - a gadget, who arrived from the People's Republic of China, where local teams are also not even abundant comfort and spiritual warmth.
The device is a metal disk, with a removable lid, covered with something with something nickel or chromium - I do not understand this, but it has been done qualitatively. Blizes that a diamond! And in the paws to take pleasantly - such a cultural figure :)
Reviews of almost the same heights here were
and
But this is a bit different. Just reflections - better than overlooked, at the end will understand why.
This is how this farm looks
But it is in the disassembled in part, plus a complete "canister" for refueling. 
Canisistochka, of course, idiotic, and serves, first of all, to measure fuel, but in practice, sheds past both when pouring into it from the bank and from the most measurement when refilling our heights. 
Therefore, this thing, more similar to the toilet, than for something filling, can and you need to boldly throw out on the garbage - why store the trash at home ... then they are just on the eyes. There are so much as we want to warm up: my personal experiments, I will say, running forward, showed that full refueling (this is when under the refueling mesh is clearly wet and a little bit more - and the liquid will be visible) there will be enough for 16 hours of operation (in summer. Winter It will be longer, since the fuel evaporates more slowly and is spent accordingly slower too), and in order for the Device to work for three hours, quite a couple of cubes - measured the syringe.
The main and main element of the heaters - the cap, in which a piece of mineral wool is fixed, "impregnated" by the catalyst - I do not know how best to express. Fuel vapors go from the tank there, in contact with the catalyst particles distributed in the space and react with air oxygen. To initialize the process, it is necessary to heat this head - then the process will go and will be self-sufficient. 
Well, we take the "Kalosha" gasoline from Kalosha from Hozmag, refuel our miracle, put the cap (tightly! Couples should not penetrate - otherwise they will not burn and will stink) We take a turbo-lighter with a non-activating flame (Scoop - It is a terrible enemy of the catalyst. It can not be contaminated. Soot spoils him, so it is stupid to be filled with a match and a candle) and for a second to bring. Everything, ready, the lid can be closed, the process went. Very quickly, the whole head is warmed up and transmits heat heating hull. 15 minutes - and it goes to a steady temperature, which is no longer growing. Feather 
This is with the ambient temperature of +24 degrees. In the cold, it will understand, will be less.
The warmer is equipped with a pretty cover on the rope: the device can not only be in his pocket, throwing out of the hand in hand, but also under the down jacket, even on the chest, at least on the back. The device is light, so the stone on the neck is felt. Put on a bathrobe - hot. In the summer, clearly - not to the place :) 
Well, okay, what else? You can refuel as a gasoline (a calica or zip-like lighter cans) and alcohol - works equally. There is still an exhaust and is felt in the room. Sustilly, but it is felt, and this is in conditions of ventilation. In winter, in closed rooms, I think, will stood be healthy!
The instruction on the device exists in this form: the photo of the back of the box. As you want, so understand. Fortunately, there is nothing to understand - they pour yes drink :) 
In general, a bag of good, and even came not remembered, the gadget can be given.
What is the result? Good warmer. Cons: no built-in lighter. It is necessary or carry it with you or silent at home. (I remembered the promised devices promised at the beginning? I think it's not for nothing that the Chinese removed the "adjustment" - she strongly reduced the service life of the catalyst. But I didn't have time for the other while) the second is better - remember that the fuel pair is needed for work. In the cold burning badly and does not warm up - the catalyst is spoiled.
How to "repay"? Shoot a hot cap. After that, he immediately cools and it can be pressed again. But! He skips through itself a pair, and they stink. And they will stall until everything evaporates. So what? That's right, they could guess to give a cover for a tank: removed the heating head, closed the tank with a plug - and does not stink and fuel on the spot. Trifle, and it is not enough. It is necessary to collect the same way.
More minuses: there is no built-in flashlight :) Well, just by tradition: the Chinese embedding them everywhere, and then why not? :) And there is no knife, and the laser!
Thank you for your attention, my dear!
