So exactly what does this mean? Well for starters it means you use a lot less power. In simple terms the OTHER company design has a large amount of rubber involved as well as the fabric overlay. The result is that you must heat the rubber and the fabric before any heat is transferred to your OTA or device. Thus, a 14"/16 from the OTHER companies heater draws a whopping 4.75 amps at 100% power. By comparison, the Dew-Not 14 strip with its unique design only draws 1.92 amps at 100% power. The 16 strip they offer only draws 2.15 amps at 100% power. That is a HUGE power savings. You will find a similar differences in amperage required between the two with the Dew-Not power requirements being considerably lower in every size available. An old setup needed 11.75 amps at 100% power using the 4 heaters from the OTHER company. Buying the same size heaters from Dew-Not the maximum power requirement is 5.23 amps at 100% power. Thats less than half the amperage of the previous setup. It obvious if you do the math that these save a lot of power and will make a 100 amp battery last a whole lot longer! |
