The Cold Box Temperature Mapping Sheet is a cryogenic digital download designed for nitrogen plant and ASU teams to systematically record, compare, and interpret temperature profiles across the cold box. This sheet helps operators identify thermal imbalance, maldistribution, flooding indicators, freezing tendencies, and exchanger performance deviations during start-up, load changes, or steady-state operation. It provides a structured way to document section-wise temperatures and diagnose cold box health quickly.

What Cold Box Temperature Mapping Sheet Covers

• Section-wise cold box temperature logging format

• Recommended temperature checkpoints for warm-end and cold-end

• Identification of abnormal thermal gradients

• Indicators of flooding, freezing, or maldistribution

• ΔT comparison fields for exchanger performance

• Notes section for operator observations

• Useful reference for start-up, cool-down, and upset recovery

Who Cold Box Temperature Mapping Sheet Is For

• Cryogenic nitrogen plant operators

• ASU commissioning engineers

• Troubleshooting & reliability teams

• Control room and field technicians

• EPC start-up teams

When To Use Cold Box Temperature Mapping Sheet

• During cold box cool-down or warm-up
