Talk:CryoJet

Article for deletion - not readily verifiable

The term Cryojet does NOT appear to be commonly used as defined in the article, and there are no references in the article to help make it verifiable.

This article was created almost entirely by a single individual, and it is also the only article on Wikipedia edited by that individual. The image linked in the article was also created by the same individual, and is described on the Wikimedia Commons page as his "Own Work". There may have been some research done on this process by the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia, but it is not clear to me if this research ever resulted in a useful or notable industrial process.

A quick internet search of CryoJet + cutting or machining did not produce any useful information that I could find to support the article. The closest thing I could find is a technology called "IceJet" which uses CO2 gas to create ice particles for industrial cleaning, decontaminating, or polishing surfaces, but not for cutting.

CryoJet appears to be a registered trade-mark for a company that makes a special-effect machines to produce plumes of "cryo fog" for live entertainment venues such as stage shows and concerts, not an industrial cutting process.

I think this article may be a good candidate for WP:AFD, so I will post it there. -- Burnishe (talk) 00:51, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Rename to IceJet?

There is almost no information about a "cryojet" on the web - but there was a project called "IceJet", developing a technology very much like one described int the article. Project's web site: http://www.icejet.eu/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.210.82.34 (talk) 13:50, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

• Absolute PILE of links, so i'm getting a bit overwhelmed lol, all in all though this definetly seems to be quite studied
• Sometime later, myself or someone else should look into if there are any companies currently utilizing this technology / making the devices for it — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eric Lotze (talk • contribs) 20:19, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

Clarification of the "Cryo" Part

• It seems, unlike Dry-ice blasting the Cyrogenic Temps are not *directly used*
• Simply Liquid Nitrogen is used to Cool Water Droplets (In a manner similar to Dippin' Dots ) which then form properly shaped/christalized Ice Particles
• These are then Introduced into the Water Jet in a manner similar to conventional Abrasive Water Jet Cutting (albeit with chilled or insulated lines (i haven't read into protocol yet)
• Another group experimented with the crystals forming from the supercooled jet itself, but i haven't read up on the protocol/how effective that was
