Comments:
Two propane tanks were set in the direct sunlight for one hour. The tank on the left did not have a cover. The tank on the right had a standard ProcoverPlus heat reflective cover. The cover was removed from the tank on the right immediately before the image was taken so that both tanks would be imaged with the same emissivity. The image shows that the tank that had the heat reflective ProcoverPlus cover is substantially cooler than the tank without the cover.
Ambient conditions: The above image was taken on a cool (60F) windy day and indicates that a hot calm day would show an even greater temperature rise for the uncovered and unprotected propane tank.
