Barrel Cool device

[RDavies]

What next ? Wind readers ? Anyone got one ? Chop Electronic ?

Some have commented that my wind reading device is regularly in need of electric shock therapy, does that count???

another option is to monitor outside barrel temperature directly with the following .




size of strips 45mmx 12mm - self adhesive application.

Those strips do work well - we use to use them and the non reversible ones on electrical switchgear/bus bars. Scary to read the non reversing (non re-settable?) ones and see the max temp reached. Maybe not so easy to read in bright sunlight though.

g'day rod

I don't know is he is still in business.

mr norlin pioneered the use of bottled CO2 and adapters to cool barrels around 18--20 years ago.

he sent me some samples at the time.

I still have a few spares, I will send them to you.

I dealt with Bryan. He was very helpful and ordering barrelcool devices was easy.

Just in case you can't afford all the high tech stuff :
Spit boils at 100.16 deg C
You should get a reasonable blister around 80 deg C
Your fingers should start smoking at 300 deg (that's my guess after years of welding)
