At Power Systems Plus, we love hearing how our products are being used in unique ways. One of our customers recently shared a great story about how our Hotstart CL150200-100 Engine Block Heater is still going strong since its purchase in December 2019—and is now solving problems in a way we hadn’t imagined!
A customer in the food industry, reached out to let us know that they’ve been using the Hotstart heater to warm a 50ft by 350ft freezer floor, maintaining a steady temperature of 45°F, while the freezer itself stays at a cold 3°F. Here’s how the Hotstart heater has improved his operation:
The Two Issues with the Previous System:
- Heating Glycol Too Quickly: The old system, using a hot tub water heater, would heat the food-grade glycol too fast, causing it to boil and become ineffective.
- Frequent Burnouts: The system had a low flow rate, which led to overheating and caused the heater to burn out every two years, leading to costly repairs and downtime.
How the Hotstart Heater Solved These Problems:
- Steady, Controlled Heating: The Hotstart CL150200-100 heater maintains the perfect temperature for the glycol, without overheating or causing boiling.
- Durability and Reliability: Unlike the previous system, the Hotstart heater has been running efficiently for years without issues, offering a long-term solution with minimal maintenance.
This success story highlights the versatility of Hotstart heaters, showing how they can be adapted for industrial applications beyond engine block heating.
