Mitigate the Operational Challenges Caused by Cold Weather with Winter-Ready Solutions from EMT
As cooler temperatures approach, the efficiency of gas cylinders used in high-voltage equipment, such as Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) and circuit breakers, can drop by up to 25%. This inefficiency can lead to suboptimal gas filling, unnecessary waste, and increased operational costs. To mitigate these effects and maximise the efficiency of your gas-filled assets, EMT Cylinder Heater Blankets offer a practical, cost-effective solution for ensuring efficient gas use, even in colder conditions.
Maximise Gas Cylinder Efficiency This Winter
With the EMT Cylinder Heater Blanket, you can ensure that your gas cylinders perform at their best, even in the coldest months. Whether you’re managing GIS, circuit breakers, or other high-voltage assets, our heater blankets offer the perfect solution for maintaining optimal gas usage.
EMT Cylinder Heater Blankets: Efficient Gas Evaporation for Cold Weather
The EMT Cylinder Heater Blankets are designed to solve the inefficiency issues caused by cooler temperatures, enabling more efficient filling and topping up of your gas-filled assets. These heater blankets provide consistent warmth to gas cylinders, improving evaporation rates and maximising the use of the gas inside, which provides a number of benefits:
Â
- Increased Cylinder Efficiency: By warming the cylinder, the heater blanket promotes the evaporation of gas, ensuring that the full content of the cylinder is used efficiently. This results in up to a 25% increase in cylinder efficiency.
- Faster Gas Filling: The improved evaporation process speeds up the gas filling and topping up process, reducing downtime and allowing you to get your equipment back online faster.
- Significant Cost Savings: By maximising gas usage, EMT Cylinder Heater Blankets help reduce the frequency of gas refills, ultimately saving you money on gas purchases and improving your bottom line.
- Energy-Efficient Design: Our heater blankets offer a cost-effective solution to increasing cylinder performance while supporting your gas management needs.
- Durable and Safe: Built to withstand the rigours of industrial environments, EMT Cylinder Heater Blankets are made from high-quality materials that are both durable and safe to use.

The Impact of Cooler Temperatures on Gas Cylinder Efficiency
Gas cylinders are crucial for maintaining the correct pressure and volume of insulating gases in GIS and other high-voltage equipment. However, when temperatures drop, the evaporation rate of gas inside the cylinder decreases, causing inefficiency and the following issues:
Â
- Reduced Gas Evaporation: Lower temperatures slow the rate at which gas evaporates from the cylinder, leading to incomplete gas usage and the need for more frequent refills.
- Increased Operational Costs: Inefficient gas use means more gas is required to achieve the same pressure levels, leading to increased costs over time.
- Longer Filling Times: With less efficient evaporation, filling and topping up gas-filled assets takes longer, causing delays and downtime.
- Wasted Gas: If gas is not fully utilised, it results in wasted resources, leading to higher maintenance costs and potentially causing a shortage of gas when you need it most.
Choose EMT Cylinder Heater Blankets
- Optimal Performance in Cold Weather: EMT Cylinder Heater Blankets are specifically designed to combat the challenges of cooler temperatures, ensuring that your gas cylinders operate efficiently, even in extreme conditions.
- Quick Return on Investment: The efficiency gains and cost savings from reduced gas usage quickly offset the initial investment in heater blankets, making it a smart choice for utility operators.
