The latest technology.
Pipe freezing is the latest technology for stopping the flow of liquid in a pipe. This easy, safe method permits repairs and installation without draining the entire piping system. Using Liquid Nitrogen, we are able to freeze pipes from 3/8" to 36". Call for Pricing, 847-838-8882.

A time and money saving method.
With Pipe Freezing System kit, there is no need to drain the system when changing a valve or extending the pipework. Simply freeze the pipe. PFS freezes contents in the pipe using CO2 dry ice, forming a temporary ice plug.

Pipe Freezing Systems simplicity works in all type situations and is economical, too!

There are three sizes of PFS jackets able to freeze either vertical or horizontal pipes from 3/8" to 3" diameter pipe. The reusable nylon jackets are flexible to allow freezes to be made on pipes in awkward places.

The PFS jackets simply connect to the siphon grade CO2 tank using the high pressure hoses. Two freezes can be made simultaneously using the T provided.

The jackets simply connect to the C02 cylinder high pressure hose. Two simultaneous freezes can be made at the same time. The kit provides a tee piece with two hoses and jackets. The refillable high pressure carbon dioxide syphon cylinder, with dip tube, contains sufficient liquid C02 for several small freezes.

Here is how it works:
The refrigerant CO2 lowers the surface temperature of the pipe causing initial icing circumferentially along the inner surface of the pipe. This "icing" continues to grow inward radially with an ever decreasing bore until the ice meets the very center of the pipe radius and closes off, forming an "ice plug".

From this point on, the plug grows lengthwise. which can tolerate greater and greater pressures exerted upon It. In laboratory situations, freeze plugs have held pressures over 8,000 PSIG.

Pipe Freezing System is safe... non-flammable and non-toxic
You can safely weld or braze near a PFS jacket, since C02 is non-flammable and non-toxic. Pipe Freezing Systems can freeze all metal, copper, steel, iron, lead and even plastic pipes. Any liquid which will solidify at 25°C (13°F), such as water, brine, anti-freeze, organic solvents and same oils, can be successfully frozen by the Pipe Freezing Systems method.

Proven benefits:
By use of this proven engineering technique, considerable savings can be made. Pipe freezing can prevent draining or emptying system, prevent loss of costly liquids and isolate sections of pipe.

Here is where Pipe Freezing Systems is used
Pipe freezing is a successful method used in many different applications by hospitals, refineries, breweries, nuclear plants, chemical plants, hotels and many other industries.

Whatever the system, Pipe Freezing Systems is the answer.
Use Pipe Freezing System on a variety of Systems:
• High Pressure • Low Pressure • Cooling Systems • Heating Systems • Fire Protection Systems • Water Treatment Systems • Chemical Lines and others.
