The secondary regulators are housed in with the TEGs and the primary regulator and lines are insulated and heated. These were on Mountaintop locations in the Interior of British Columbia. Never had any problems with propane flow at 55 degrees below. I was the one that had to climb the mountain to fix them so it wasn't long before insulation/heaters were installed.

Propane won't create gas pressure below -43.6F and many propane gas pressure regulators will ice up and stop working below about +20F. This isn't a problem for many locations but it is still important to know what the limits are.

As long as there is propane, they work. No moving parts, very little maintenance. It doesn't matter how cold or hot it is, they just work . Simple power that provides heat for the radio shack as well. Terry -----Original Message----- From: D.
