Title: This is slightly loosely bus related
Post by: Scott & Heather on January 12, 2017, 05:52:00 AM
Temps got down pretty chilly in Michigan a week or so ago, so I decided to try out the Mpemba effect for myself. If it were colder, the water would never have reached the ground. In other news, the bus stayed warm but we did have a freeze up of our purge valve. It has a heater but apparently is not hooked up yet :-/

Funny, Might want to service your airdryer. Or drain your tanks fully by pulling all the valves out and let them drain when it gets warmer. ;D

More like very cool video!

Lately around here I am not sure if the water would even escape the container. I think it was -20F this morning. But hey, very little wind chill.  :o And I am just working on power generation systems and thinking about A/C loads!

Stay warm, spring is only 3 months away.
