Titanic. The Exhibition is currently in Seattle following its success in London, New York and Washington. The exhibition provides an emotional journey through the Titanic’s true story with life-size reconstructions and passenger memorabilia. One of the key exhibits is a recreation of the infamous iceberg that sunk this iconic ship as she embarked upon her maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York.
The iceberg exhibit is no ordinary ice sculpture. It has been engineered to last, stay authentic and provide visitors with a chilling real-world experience. At the heart of its design is CRANE Temper -40, KRAHN’s high performance heat transfer fluid.
The installation uses an indirect refrigeration system and consists of two separate circuits. The primary circuit contains the refrigerants (such as ammonia, CO2, propane etc) which cools a secondary fluid, CRANE Temper. This secondary fluid then circulates to provide cooling where it is needed. To replicate the conditions of this fateful night, a realistic iceberg wall was created with a frozen surface that visitors can touch. Designed to remain solid throughout the Exhibition’s duration, the installation required a powerful and consistent freezing system operating at -24°C. CRANE Temper -40 was considered ideal, a non-toxic, safe and powerful product providing optimal performance. Not only is CRANE Temper -40 a stable, low viscosity product that reduces overall energy consumption, it is keeping the installation frozen, interactive and photorealistic for thousands of visitors from around the world, day after day.
