Machine of the month

LIQUID NITROGEN CRYOCYL TANK - It's like something out of Doctor Who! This is the Liquid Nitrogen tank which feeds the new Laser cutter (to cut disc rotors and floating centres amongst other things) The temperature inside the tank is -196 deg C! which keeps the 2000 litres of liquid nitrogen in it's sci-fi state. When pumped through to the machine (some 50 metres away) the liquid is turned into gas through an integral vaporiser which means those 2000 litres are good for 1,368,000 litres of gas for cutting! That might sound like an awful lot - but with the machine running over 20 hours day the tank is replenished every 2 weeks. The tank is outside right next to the picnic tables used for lunch - roll on summer and outdoor air-con!
