500 Pound Tank Gas Cylinder Heater Solutions

A Powerblanket 500-pound tank gas cylinder heater optimizes container pressure and enhances overall efficiency. These gas cylinder heaters offer a maintenance-free heating solution, eliminating the challenges of maintaining critical temperatures in cold climates. By using Powerblanket gas cylinder heaters, your tanks—including 500-pound gas cylinders—will last longer, perform better, and save you time, money, and hassle. Cold weather can wreak havoc on all types of gas cylinders, including propane, butane, nitrogen, and oxygen tanks. When temperatures drop, maintaining optimal pressure becomes challenging, often preventing gases from vaporizing effectively. This can render gas cylinders, like a 500-pound tank, unusable.

    We live in Quebec Canada. We have winter that usually goes to -20F and we have seen -35F . So since we are using only propane for heating and did not know that below -42 the propane does not evaporate anymore. we decided to buy a Powerblanket for our 420lb tank in 2018 just to be safe. Last year (2018-2019) we had a very long and cold winter. We had a contract (2018-2019) for propane that was $130 per month for 12 months based on our 2017 usage We did have a very cold winter that did reach quite a few -30 to -36. We renew our contract in august and to our surprise, the contract for 2019-2020 is now $75 per month for 12 months based on the 2018 usage. Colder winter with less usage. We did not expected to be that good, but it is.
