    Yep, there's three grades of nitro, and most everyone just uses the industrial grade.
    The high purity stuff is the go. One for the fridgies

    Des,what I recon they did is turned the switch to the fans off,its pretty easily accessible on that particular room, then set the spoons up.We also found a heap of spoons in the condensate tray,so I recon they have had a few goes at doing it before being successful.The fans are standard 300mm,the spoon will slide up through the guard and jam it, pretty easy to do, once you work it out and they have the luxury of having all day to work these sorts of things out.
    Its a bit of a change from setting off the fire system by breaking a sprinkler head or punching an entrapment alarm in, just as they all head up to their bedroom suites.

    At the youth centre,breaking a sprinkler head sets off the deluge systems, it floods the whole block, an absolute PITA,as it wrecks the whole place.
    They are starting to modify this system so it can only be manually turned on by a staff member.


    It is time then that they got some overpaid & overstuffed engineering type to rectify those things then, S'funny you know, I have never once used my idle time to jam fans in a Coolroom. Me odd? Not really, I come on here instead.

    Maybe I am not of the Criminal bent.

    I'm trying to find a photo of what happens when you have three fridgey's on one job.

    Someone that is constantly whingeing about the lack of repeatability with vacstats had a bright idea while pulling down a high wall.
    We ended up with about five to see where they all ended up.One for the fridgies

    The ones we used years ago were all analogue, seemed to work well.

    Really stretching my memory,and maybe dreaming, but I am sure we had a couple with mercury in them?
