Hi
I have a screw compressor these compressor dont like temp's below 3 degree's .
When they get below this temp the controller will shut the compressor down till the ambient temp is 3 degrees or above.
When they are running they are fine as compressor will generate it owns heat, it is just the intial start in the morning that proves to be a problem.
This common with modern screw compressors, you can buy a built in heater from the manufacture, but these cost in excess of £500.00
I was speaking with my compressor supplier and he said you can make your own heater for much less, he gave me a few pointers.
I require a small cabinet heater around 100-150 watt and a thermostat set the thermostat to kick in at around 5 degrees and to switch of at around 9 degrees.
He told me to go to rs components web site and get my supplies there. So i have had a look, can you tell me if i am making the correct choice of components

103-386 for thermostat.
Thanks in advance
