    I think the Cooler Drain line is Blocked!



    Hi Guys.

    Check out the attached Photo, May I add the Blanking plate hanging of the end is Stainless Steel.

    Which originally sat behind It's Locking Ring pictured on the end of the pipe. That's a 65mm diameter pipe by the Way!

    It just shows the raw power of expanding Ice.

    RJT fitting? That would take some pressure to deform!
    Mostly found in Oxfordshire, UK :)

    From the phase change diagram you are probably looking at around 2 K Bar of pressure at -20 Deg C
    or over 100 MPa

    An RJT fitting is rated to 25 Bar, poor thing did not stand a chance!
    I love the smell of Ammonia in the morning!
