Default Has anyone seen one of these heaters?

Found this site this morning....

It says they were at PRI, anyone see it?
Its 60Watts, I'd like to see a heat time graph for this one.

It said it will keep the temperature with in 1 degree of what you set.....wouldn't keeping consistent pressure make more sence? You could set the temp, forget about it, and the pressure could go through the roof.

if thats the case, then the ZEX bottle heater wouldnt be around. that one is based on the temp of the bottle

I can dig it.....but I would still rather have one that turns on/off because of the bottle pressure, not temperature.

That thing is HUGE! Looks like something a G.I. Joe action figure would ride inside.

Youll still get the normal pressure drop on large shots. Ill still take a regulator or push...or a GOOD heater with a pressure switch.. Hell...the Dynotune heater kit for $99 and then a bottle blanket will be just as effective for half the price IMO.

But like they said...regular heaters cant COOL a bottle. However...in my experiance with peltier plate cooling...its gonna take FOREVER if your pressure is at say...1200 psi on a hot day for that thing to cool a full bottle down to 950. But in fairness I have not seen this one work. it is well insulated...but its kind of a monstrosity of a unit.

Lol, the person that puts one of those between their seats will end up getting arrested and deported. It looks like a bomb.

Hi folks, just joined this forum. Thought I should chime in since this is our product and I'm the guy responsible for ensuring it helps our nitrous friends out there.

So yes, it's bulky, kind of an ugly green, and takes a while to heat or cool a bottle. What we set out to design was a temp/pressure control system - and not necessarily a bottle "heater". The the true value of the system is that you can put you bottle in it and it will keep it at whatever temp/pressure you set it at - and it will keep it there indefinitely - while only drawing 5 amps. The other important point to note is that it will both heat OR cool the bottle to do this. If you like to run your system at 950 psi, then set it to 86 degrees. If you run more or less pressure, then you adjust the temp up or down accordingly. It's all easily done from the control panel with a digital readout.

If you need to put heat in a bottle quickly, we still recommend a blanket heater. If you need to cool a bottle down in a hurry, purge it. But if you are concerned about a consistent nitrous tune up, and need your bottle to get to, and stay at a constant temp/pressure, then we have a pretty good solution for you - and it's easy on the electrical system.

Having said all that, we have listened to all the feedback and now have systems in multiple colors - red, blue and yellow for now. We are also considering custom colors for an added cost.

We are also developing a 15lb version that will be leaner (though taller) than it's current 10lb brother. If all goes well, this new 15lb version will accommodate both a 15lb or 10lb bottle.

There's so much more I could say but then I'd be bogging down your forum and sounding like a used car salesman. Please let me know if you guys have any questions or other feedback.

Thank You for the interest.

Yes it's similar to the fire&ice in technology but I believe the F&I draws about 17amps (according to the NX guy at the SEMA booth), is not enclosed so subject to ambient air temp, and also is a bit tougher to adjust as you have to unmount the remote sending unit, remove the back plate with 4 screws and then adjust a potentiometer one or two clicks left or right to adjust the pressure from the factory setting of 1050 PSI.

as for mounting, our system has 4 embedded, threaded brass inserts in the back that have been pull-tested to 1000 pounds.

Thanks, Dennis
