Pattern Altitude
Equipment does not operate correctly when it gets this cold. I've been at the farm all night.
It was -22* at 2:00 am this morning here in NW Iowa.
Frozen water lines
Gelled trucks
Power lines down
We think we seized a bearing on a 1000kw generator due to an oil line failure - That one might be a $80,000 if the engine is toast.
Gear boxes won't turn due to gelled oil. Don't tell PETA, but I've got animals that haven't been fed yet today.
Ventillation fans are slipping on their belts and then the fan blade will ice in place
I'm using so much steam to keep my building heated that my propane vaporizer can't keep up
Ammonia refrigeration system condenser and desuperheater are not functioning properly
I've got a filter on a glycol cooling loop that is frozen up due to ice crystals. I'm not even sure how that is happening.
Sorry for the rant, but it's gonna be a long weekend. Anybody got a spare cot?
