What is Pipe Freezing?

Pipe freezing is a non-invasive method of creating a temporary ice plug within a pipe to block the flow of liquids or gases. This technique is particularly useful in systems that cannot be easily shut down, such as in industrial plants, HVAC systems, or water supply networks.

How Pipe Freezing is Done

Preparation:

• System Assessment:
• We begin by assessing the piping system to determine suitable freeze points and ensure compatibility with the freezing process.
• Safety Measures:
• Necessary safety precautions are implemented to protect personnel and maintain system integrity during the process.

Freezing Process:

• Application of Freeze Jackets:
• Specialized freeze jackets are securely placed around the pipe at the designated freeze points.
• Introduction of Freezing Agent:
• Liquid nitrogen or carbon dioxide is introduced into the freeze jackets, rapidly lowering the temperature to create solid ice plugs within the pipe.
• Monitoring and Verification:
• The freezing process is carefully monitored using temperature sensors to ensure complete and stable ice formation.

Maintenance or Repair Work:

With the ice plugs securely in place, the isolated section of the pipe is safely accessed for maintenance, repairs, or modifications without draining the entire system.

Thawing and Restoration:

• Controlled Thawing:
• Once the work is completed, the ice plugs are gradually thawed using controlled heating techniques to prevent thermal shock or damage to the pipe.
• System Restoration:
• The system is carefully brought back online, ensuring pressure stability and leak checks before resuming normal operations.
