gas pipes taking freezing damage

[Pi2]

So how do you stop gas pipes from taking freezing damage when you are trying to liquefy  gasses?  Think I have tried almost every type of pipe but they all start to take damage at about 37c below.  There must be a way as I have seen set ups that liquefy hydrogen, and that must get cooler then -37c

You have to cool a gas that doesn't turn into a liquid at the temperature you need to liquefy the target gas and then mix them in a room.

The most common cooling gas would be hydrogen, unless of course you are trying to liquefy hydrogen then I'm not too sure.

I don't understand what you mean?  I should have been more specific, I am trying to solidify chlorine, I am pumping it in from a chrloine filled space and then running it through 3 thermal regulator, but after the third one the pipes freeze.

[AlexRou]

1. Cool Hydrogen until below -101C but above -250C
2. Pump cold Hydrogen into room with Chlorine
3. Wait 

[Pi2]

how am I going to cool hydrogen if the pipes freeze at -37?  or are you saying that they won't freeze when cooling hydrogen to -101

 

[AlexRou]

They only break if hydrogen freezes and hydrogen freezes at -250C. It's not the pipe that freeze, only the gas that's in them.

[Pi2]

not sure that makes any sense, but I will give that a try, so.

1) fill an insulated room with hydrogen and cool it to around 120 below,

2) then pump that gas into the insulated room where the chlorine is,

3) and the cold hydrogen will solidify the chlorine.

 

Thanks, It would be easier if we could chat somewhere so the member don't have to read though all this, thanks again

*If the gas liquefies (or if it's in a liquid pipe, when the liquid freezes or boils).

You can do it without bringing the gases into contact, just run pipes with really cold hydrogen through an insulated room with chlorine in it (you can connect the pipes to a thermo regulator to keep it cold enough, also make sure to build all parts of the pipe that are outside of the chlorine room out of abyssalite.

If you only want to liquefy the chlorine you can also use wheezeworts, but they won't be enough to freeze it, I'm pretty sure wheezeworts stifle before it gets cold enough for that.

I am pretty sure that chlorine goes into a solid state before a gas state when cooling it

 

NO, I am wrong on that
