The ice plugging process consists of placing liquid nitrogen around a pipe and removing heat until the water in the pipe freezes and provides a solid plug or seal against fluid movement. This technique enables us to repair or inspect a p... YD Park,HC Jo,BI Choe,... - 《대한기...
Part of fixing frozen water pipes is learning how different pipes act when they freeze. Every year I get calls to repair sections of pipe that froze and split in cold weather. After thirty years of plumbing, I've seen what cold weather can do to most kinds of pipe. Here's a descriptio...

At times, even well-installed pipe insulation for winter can come undone and need replacing or repair. Check periodically to see if wrap insulation has fallen off or if the secure tape has detached and allowed rigid foam insulation to fall off the pipe. ...
Introducing liquid nitrogen in to the ICE-O-Lator rapidly freezes the contents of the pipe to form a plug, or line stop which makes it possible to isolate valves, vessels, pumps, equipment and other facilities for repair, modifications or hydrostatic testing. The ICE-O-LATOR© System utilize...
