What is the thermal weapon?
Thermal gun is a tool that emits a stream of hot air. It is similar to the appearance and construction to the hair dryer, but the air that radiates is at a much higher temperature. The air is forced over the element and heated. Imitated air can usually reach temperatures between 200 ° and 1,000 ° Fahrenheit (93 ° to 537.7 ° Celsius).
Thermal gun can be used in various design applications. It can be used for drying, heating, welding and shrinking. Practical applications of thermal pistol include drying and stripping of paint, drying of damp wood, softening of adhesives to remove tiles and defrost frozen pipes.
The most common use for the thermal gun is to remove the color. When using the tool for this purpose, the weapon should be guided by a slow circular movement through the painted area. The weapon should never be focused on one place for more than 10 seconds, as hot air can burn the material under color and cause fire. When the color begins to bubble it can be a simplestBL with a sealant knife.
When a thermal gun is used to remove color, the operator should always wear safety glasses and a respirator mask. The fumes that come from the heated color are very harmful. For the same reason, the weapon should not be used on lead -based.
The heat pistol can also be used in electronics for Depold purposes. Electronic components are usually soldered on the circuit board. These components may have to be removed for repair purposes or for rescue in the depolodering process.
In order to disall the electronic component from the circuit plate, the air flow is focused on the component that will be removed. When the soldering iron is melted, the component can be pulled freely. Toxic vapors can be released during this process, so it is important that the tool is used in a well -ventilated area. The tool operator should also be careful not to damage the electrosLoads nothing with heated air.
The high operating temperature of the thermal gun means that several safety factors need to be considered during its operation. The working area should be omitted from flammable materials. The shavings of wood and paper should be cleaned from the area and long hair should be bound back and the jewelry should be removed. The thermal gun nozzle should never be pushed directly to the surface. Immediately after using the thermal gun, it should be held far from the garments and skin, as its surface can be extremely hot.
