Sorry eey_ore_9, but your way off the mark.........
"The three components for a problem to occur are as said in previous posts, oxygen,Grease,compression but they all have to be in the right proportion."
You mean the components are Oxygen, fuel and ignition !
"Although I agree with both statements in my opinion If the cylinder and reg are filled with high pressure oxygen 100%, Lots of grease (Silicon) the problem may occur due to the high pressure and heat involved at the filling stage but this is a rare occurence!"
Anyone mixing 200 bar of 100% O2 with silicone grease is asking for trouble !
"When you service a cylinder or reg the lube is only used to clean the item it is used on it should not be applied generously only a minute amount is required!"
Lube is for lubricating, not cleaning !
The rest of your statement is unfortunately missleading.
"So already you are taking away the ignition (or should be).!If you open the valve on your cylinder you get very cold air or o2 mix coming out to the point where it freezes.In this way it is highly unlikely to get a burn or explosion whilst diving but not impossible, is it? Is this one for the Brainiacs to solve?"
Yes, when you open a cylinder of gas to atmosphere it gets cold as it expands, but when connected to a first stage it produces adiabatic compression in the first stage. You are correct in that your unlikely to get a "burn" whilst diving, (and if you do the water will help put it out !)  |
