I thought I'd post my day job which is pipe freezing. If I've done it correctly there's a short You Tube link here. It shows a 24" pipe we recently froze at Miami International Airport in South Florida. The airport requires about 18,000 tons of a/c at any given time. This process allows the airports a/c to remain online while repairs are made to part of their system.

Yes it freezes a slug of water inside the pipe so either side of the pipe can be sorted out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

(or even micro fractures in the metal) They must cool/warm the pipe very slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it freezes the liquid inside the pipe solid and it adheres to the pipe forming an ice plug. We have frozen chilled water, fire and domestic water lines. We've also frozen ethlyene glycol and fuel oil at a nuclear power plant. If its liquid - minus 325 will make it solid. As far as fracturing the pipe, mild steel below minus 50 is brittle as glass. Engineers say the pipe will fracture. To date since 1992 the only fractures we've had we made under controled conditions to see what we could get away with. See ya's in the server where may freeze capabilities are limited by my poor aim. eidolonFIRE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
