Water is brought to a
static condition (no flow). The Accu- Freeze
wrap is placed around the pipe up stream from
the section to be repaired. Next, set the
recommended surface temperature of the pipe in
the digital controller. Accu-Freeze takes over
by automatically injecting the liquid nitrogen
through the system over the in-line ice plug.
Once the plug is formed, maintenance and repair
can take place without draining or shutting off
the entire system.
The Accu-Freeze Technique
Throughout Qwik-Freezer’s twenty five years of
pipe freezing and maintenance, our customers
have requested pipe-freezing systems that
will:
a. be able to freeze large diameter
pipe
b. control the entire freeze
process
c. minimize exposure to nuclear
applications of the pipe, the Accu-Freeze system
controls the flow of liquid nitrogen through the
wrap while accurately and safely forming an ice
plug in lines up to 12 inches in
diameter. |
