Are there negative effects that come along with having a nitrous bottle heater running whenever I'm driving around? Obviously controlled to shut off at my desired PSI, but I'm just thinking in terms of having it on tap so I can just arm it and go. I was thinking it would expand and contract a lot, but it wouldn't really go anywhere, would it?
Well i was gunna wire it up to be constant rather than ignition power so the car doesn't have to be on during staging, but the setup is supposed to be a master switch, and then a pressure controlled switch between that and the heater, so I'd just have to remember to turn off the master switch. I figure if I can remember to turn it on I'll remember to turn it off, and maybe i'll throw in an LED status light to be sure it catches my attention. Thanks man!
I had mine wired up constant thinking it would be handy in the stageing lanes as well. But after over pressuring the bottle big time during a rain delay I changed to key-on! lol
Not to mention that when you forget to turn the heater off it's sucking your battery down. Either 12V igntion switched or master power for the nitrous....
I had a bottle pressure switch malfunction which overheated and pressurized the bottle before I noticed. I did not like that at all so from there on I babysat my bottles until the reached optimal pressure. dont rely on those pressure switches they are dangerous.
