Message:


Is it possible to cool water which is at normal 'pipe temperature' (c. 8-
10 degrees celsius) to close to freezing point purely by the Joule-Thomson 
effect? It would obviously have to be pressurized and passed through some 
sort of an expanding nozzle. Is there an ideal (or optimized) design for 
such a special "water Joule-Thomson" nozzle?
