Hi Michael,
It's made to load grids in gas, but many overfill to work submerged, then it definitely breaks. Heating too much also is a bad idea. No issues here with the seven year old station, the two new ones delivered last year are also (still...) fine.
Best,
Wim

The LN2 is leaking out at a pretty rapid rate from cracks at the base of the stations. These are not being abused in any way (as far as I know), and the worst part is the price quote from Thermo.
