32 Tonne Linde

Hi all I work in safety and have had an incident I am due to go and investigate. Basically we have had a water gauge crack resulting in boiling water being spraying out of the radiator cap at an operative.

I am being told that it was due to overheating. Does anyone with a technical background have any idea how or what caused this?

Thanks

Fins could be plugged up. as for hot water on opperator. I d say the opperator removed radiator cap and thats what sprayed him.Not saying it couldnt happen , but usually coolant will come out when hot and cap will stay on and coolant just blows down. If his hands got burned, then he removed cap.

The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
