Rapid Ramp Heater (RR) doubles the watt density to quickly heat up to a maximum temperature of 100° F then automatically backs down to one-half power to maintain temperature. This automatic function is all internal and preset. In an indoor environment with an ambient temperature of 70° F, heater PBL55-RR will heat a 55 gallon plastic drum filled with 70° F water to 100° F in 5.5 hours. It would take two to three band heaters to equal the heating power of one powerblanket® heater. Rapid Ramp Heaters do not have an adjustable thermostat.
Pro Heater (PRO) includes an in-line thermostat with heat probe for measuring the temperature of the liquid in the container. The thermostat is fully adjustable with a temperature range from -23° F to 160° F maximum temperature.
