Our Remodel Story
We purchased a house in 2015 with the intention of doing a full remodel. We had never done this before, but armed with ideas and a great contractor, we started on January 4, 2016. That time of year is an awesome time to remodel because subs are looking for work and the project, if planned well, will move quickly. That time of year is not-so-awesome if you are living in the remodel, which we were. The contractors demoed the kitchen on January 4, and I did not have a place to cook again until early March. I didn’t think this would be that big of an obstacle because I am creative, and I had a barbecue–I planned to grill all winter.
Little did I know, propane freezes, and this winter would be one of the coldest on record for Utah. Needless to say, my winter grilling plan did not work and we ate out a lot. I wish I had known more about propane and about Powerblanket propane tank heaters. This knowledge would have saved me a great deal of headache and money.
Propane Tanks Can Freeze
Propane tanks can freeze while in use. The colder it is outside, the lower the pressure will be in your tank; conversely, the higher the temperature, the higher the pressure. Liquid propane volume is directly related to its temperature. When the ambient temperature is very cold, especially below zero temperatures, there may not be enough pressure in your tank to keep your system/appliance working properly. Gas volume is determined by the number of molecule collisions occurring within the container, and these collisions decrease/increase with the temperature.
