How does pipe freezing work?

Pipe Freezing London

Pipe freezing is a technique used to isolate a section of pipe so that repairs or maintenance can be performed without having to drain the entire system. This is a valuable service for both residential and commercial customers, as it can save time and money.

Here’s a brief overview of how pipe freezing works:

A specialized device is attached to the pipe. This device circulates a refrigerant, such as liquid nitrogen, around the pipe.

The refrigerant cools the pipe and the water inside it.

Once the water is frozen, a plug of ice is formed. This plug blocks the flow of water through the pipe, allowing repairs or maintenance to be performed safely.

Once the repairs are complete, the refrigerant is removed and the pipe thaws. The ice plug melts and the water flow resumes.

Pipe freezing is a safe and effective way to isolate a section of pipe. It is also a relatively quick process, typically taking only a few minutes to freeze a pipe.
