The catalytic warmer is interesting because her can be used many or many times. With active use frames enough for several years. Frames are 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's a small size device, which 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 published and pass through a cap with a catalyst where the oxidation on the surface of the already heated catalyst occurs at a temperature of just above 100 degrees, with heat transfer to the heating hull.

How to refuel and what to use gasoline to refill.

When people hear about gasoline, all the question arises, and how much can it be difficult to refuel the heating? Actually the heating floor is very easy and carefully refueling. Ged gasoline is suitable any, 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. In order to accurately fill the catalytic warmer, we decided to use the syringe, then the chance of shedding gasoline or stain their hands minimal. It is possible to pour gasoline with a syringe into a watering room, and you can immediately in the tank of the warmers, to whom it is 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 a 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 a few additional ml to 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 Vatka, it is necessary in order to detain gasoline. Dripping on the Vatka gasoline, periodically turn the tank. 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 out the tank from it, gasoline dripping, then you are fully shipped. Wait until the gasoline is spinning and 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 on a firesince you jump the catalyst and reduce the "life" to him.
Before the following use, there is no need 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. Heating temperature of the catalytic heating depends on ambient. 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 stops, warmer stops working. You can close access to oxygen For a few minutes and the guild will extinct. Either you can remove cap with catalyst and he instantly 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 strict) film on the tankwhere gasoline is poured. In order not to breathe evaporation (although they are insignificant, for example, on the street from evaporation machines are much worse), put the cockpit in the cover, and even better on the balcony.

Almost every fisherman came across such a problem of winter fishing, like frozen hands, even if they are wearing the warmest mittens. Today, on the shelves of specialized stores, you can find several types of rafting, which are placed in mittens. But, when for some reason it is not possible to purchase a special device, you can make it possible to make a chemical warmer with your own hands.

What are the hares for hands?

Modern hand warmers are divided into two types:

• colorless gel fluid;
• small applikator made of metal.

1. Petrol or catholic, appearance which resembles a cigarette party. Such heers have a metal case, and in shape and size are comparable to a conventional cell phone.

Such a warming device consists of the following parts:

• from the flask that is filled with a flammable material (cotton) dipped in gasoline;
• from a plate-like mesh catalyst;
• from the lid with holes that closes the device.

The principle of the functioning of the salt warming for hands is to isolate heat due to crystallization of salts of oversaturated solutions.

Most often, for these purposes, sodium acetate is used.

The procedure for the action consists of the following steps:

1. When the applicator bending contained in the cushion, the solution is crystallized.
2. As a result, the heater itself is gaining heat and heated to 50 degrees.
3. After 3-4 hours, the device cools. For further use, it is required to put it in boiling water for 15 minutes, after which it is to get and dry.

As a result, the main advantages of this type of handhermus are a simple mechanism and the possibility of reusable.

In contrast, the gasoline device can be used for a long time (up to 24 hours). The principle of its work is to highlight heat due to the free oxidation of gasoline vapors, which come out through holes made in the lid, and thereby warming hands.

How to catch more fish?

I have already spent active fishing for a long time and found many ways to improve Klevel. And here are the most effective:

1. Activator Kleva. Attracts fish in cold and warm water with the help of pheromones, which are part of the composition and stimulates its appetite. It is a pity that Rosprirodnadzor wants to introduce a ban on its sale.
2. More sensitive tackle. Reviews and instructions for other types of tabs you can find on the pages of my site.
3. Baits using Pheromones.

You can get the rest of the secrets of successful fishing free by reading the other our articles on the site.

The catalytic primer is started by a dechecond heating of the catalyst from the direct flame. To avoid burns of hands before the immediate use of the boards is covered with a special case.

Necessary materials

Optional to go B. special shop And spend money on buying a thermal device. Fans of winter fishing can and independently build a heating of hands. We give an example of the manufacture of chemical heating.

For this, the following techniques will be required:

• plastic bottle from under shampoo, lotion, or other similar means of 200 ml volume;
• aluminum wire with a diameter of 3 mm and 400 cm long;
• copper vigor in the size of three parts of the selected container;
• two parts of a small durable food salt;
• simple water - 50 ml.

For the manufacture of homemade heights You can use the glass container. In addition, experienced fishermen advise wood sawdust to the solution. On the amount of materials proposed above, there will be about 30 g of sawdust.

Step-by-step manufacturing plan

Manufacturing heating for hands by a primary way consists of the following steps:

1. The wire turns into a spiral, the diameter of which depends on the neck of the container (the spiral should be freely placed in the bottle).
2. With a screwdriver, the spiral is stretched along the entire length of the bottle.
3. The filling of the heating was prepared by mixing the salt and copper sulfate.
4. On 200 ml of the bottle, 2 tablespoons of the prepared mixture are falling asleep.
5. A spiral is inserted into the bottle and water is added.
6. At the end, the container must be shaken, open the lid and retain to the side of the vapor.

After the oxidation reaction subsides, the bottle is closed and you can warm your hands.

To use the heights again enough after a few hours add water to it.

Of this homemade adaptation For sure, for heating hands throughout the entire fishing time. After that, the heating was thrown off, and go to the next fishing, you can quickly construct a new heat device.

The catalytic heater works on the principle of oxidation of gasoline vapors on the catalyst where chemical reaction With heat release, which is transmitted to the metal body of the heating.

Before use, carefully examine this instruction!

1. 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;
2. Do not refill the heating fuel on the edge. Between the catalyst and the upper boundary of the fuel level should be 1 cm.;
3. 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;
4. 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;
5. 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;
6. In the vertical position, the heated warms up the strongest, due to the more intense evaporation of the fuel, the consuming,, accordingly, increases;
7. 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;
8. Do not allow children to use the heat;
9. To avoid poisoning, do not inhale the pairs of fuel and oxidation products.

The procedure for the catalytic gasoline

1. Remove the heating cover;
2. Draw a catalyst;
3. Insert the funnel for fuel to fill the capacitance into the hole;
4. Make sure that the lever on the funnel is at the bottom of "Lock";
5. 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;
6. After refueling, install the catalyst in place;
7. Rotate the heating ground to the horizontal position and bring to the catalystly signed match or lighter;
8. Warm the catalyst 10 - 15 seconds to the sensation of the heat transition to the metal circuit heating;
9. Place the seat cover and place it in the case;
10. When cooled the heating, repeat the procedure for refueling and warming up;
11. 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.

Warranty life of the product - 1 year from the date of purchase. When the factory marriage is found during the guarantertainment, if there is a check, you can return the product to the store or exchange it. When buying it, be sure to check the performance, completeness and appearance of the product. Using other fuels except purified gasoline for lightersmakes the warranty invalid.

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 have cool, and I began to use this again 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:
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 of GK-1, which at full refueling was able to produce heat for 8-14 hours with 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".

NTTHM after a small entry, you can go to the subject of review.
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"!
Our couriers will deliver them to you right in the apartment in tanks 0.5, 0.7 and
1 liter…

But not everyone at work is applicable.
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

Each winter fishing amateur is familiar with such inconvenience as frozen hands. And they mow, despite the most warm mittens. If the inhabitants of large cities can find special, catalytic or salt warms in the shops in mittens for such a case, then the inhabitants of the periphery have to be content with something apparent.

This article discusses how to make a homemade chemical warmer for hands with their own hands ....

Homemade guide for hands on their own hands

One of simple solutions is a heating mixture consisting of:

• copper sulfate - 3 volume parts,
• salts of cooking fine grinding - 2 parts,
• wood sawdust - 5 pieces
• crimping aluminum wire.

Copper cunery is always sold in business stores for about 100 rubles. For 1 kg - it is used to combat garden pests and against fungus on wooden buildings. All other ingredients do not make up problems. Before mixing, the copper canopy can be dried, as it happens often.

For the enclosure of the heating, the corresponding dishes are selected - if for mittens, then something small and flat, if as a heater is larger, then some can, for example glass jar - They are of the most different size.

This dishes are stacked by aluminum wire so that it is approximately 4-10 g of a mixture with a 100 g of a mixture as possible to be evenly distributed throughout its volume. The mixture is falling asleep so that no more than 1-2 cm remains to the edge.

To actuate this height, it is enough to pour some amount of water in it and spin the lid again. For all the time fishing such a height for hands is enough, and after that, the height can be just thrown out. Here are an exemplary proportion, if you prepare with your own hands, a mixture by weight:

Composition and proportions of the mixture for the manufacture of heights for hands

• salt - 20 g;
• copper vigor - 40 g;
• wood sawdust - 30 g;
• aluminum wire - 4-10 g

At such a number of mixtures is required to launch homemade heating for hands, made with your own hands, only 50 ml of water.
