Ice on liquid chlorine dispensing line
« on: November 06, 2018, 03:55:35 AM »
In an water treatment plant  it is using liquide chlorine from containers for water disinfectin.
Why does ice appear on pipe?
Temprerature of environment is 21-24 celsius grade.

Are u sure it is liquid chlorine and not a solution of Hypochlorite or something?  On the other hand what is boiling point of liquid chlorine? Maybe that answer your question.

Does the chlorine leave the pipe nozzle under pressure at all? The sudden reduction in pressure as any pressurised liquid or gas leaves a pipe causes rapid cooling according to PV = NRT.  This rapid temperature decrease could cause freezing of water vapour from the air to freeze around the pipe.
