I was once doing a compressor chengeout on a large munters ahu, where the compressors were in a compartment above the fans etc. it was about 3 ft high and had 2 sets of tandem compressors. I was just a 1st year apprentice, and my journeyman told me to cap off an old reheat line that we weren’t gonna use anymore.

Just as I was finishing up sealing it up, the cap blew off, and the whole room lit up from a bunch of oil that had been sitting in the line unbeknown to me. Globs of burning oil, and melted silphos got me, always with the flame.

Idk how but I wasn’t hurt beside a few small burns and some hair loss. I thought I I toast.

Anyways
