The big freeze

Its so British to be overly occupied with the weather, but we do have a lot of it! (Not sure if that makes much sense or indeed is valid as a distinction from any other country!)

This week has had its challenges with temperatures as low as minus 12 pipes froze all over the place.

Water is very important to use. We use purified water in our products and standard water for cooling. With froze pipes cooling become an issue. Even when its about minus 4.5 for most of the day that big blanket of cold air is not enough to cool one of our condensing worms, which is having to strip out the ca 15kw of energy that's gone into one of our pot stills. It makes for a "constant" day having to scoop out hot water and rally round to find cold water the keep the condenser condensing!

That said, with the cyan blue skies and the crisp hoarse frost it was a beautiful day!
