Ok, I quit!
Get the Technical bulletin #5 on "oxygen Systems" from Swadgelock august
1993 and references there in. P.2 will tell you what adiabatic
compression by sonic velocity flow is. No other heat source (in pp
filling) that I know as of yet, is comparable in magnitude
and potential localisation.
My impression is that the danger of O2 fires is present only at valve
opening time (initial pressurization of the lines, not while filling).
That is, so far, confirmed by all the incidents and non-incidents that I've
heard/read about. It allways seems to happen when a valve is openned too
quickly.
