Can water pipes freeze
Quick, and possibly silly, question...Can the water pipes on an aircraft freeze without bursting? Specifically on a 757 with regard to the coffee makers.
I've been on flights where the coffee makers will stop working. Usually happens if they've been off for a while (say a few hours) and when you turn it on, nothing. Won't brew. Friends say the pipes freeze and you should leave the makers on continuously. I say no because the pipes would burst if the water inside froze.
Oh yes, there is always water in the tank so that's not the issue.
Thanks.
