Pipe Freezing Services
At GES London, we offer expert pipe-freezing solutions using liquid CO2 or liquid nitrogen to create ice plugs in pipes, temporarily isolating sections for repair or modification.
This method eliminates the need for draining or shutting down systems, helping you avoid downtime, reduce water wastage, and save money.
We offer expert pipe-freezing solutions in Merton, Wandsworth, Lambeth, Richmond, Croydon, Kingston, and Sutton in London.
Our services ensure that you can repair and modify your piping systems without the hassle of draining or shutting them down.
With our advanced technology, we make sure your systems stay operational while saving you time, water, and money.
Whether you’re dealing with water supply systems, sprinkler systems, or industrial piping, our advanced pipe-freezing technologies, Qwik-Freezer™ and Accu-Freeze™, provide safe, efficient, and cost-effective methods for creating ice plugs in pipes.
Qwik-Freezer™: Efficient and Easy Pipe Freezing with CO2
The Qwik-Freezer™ system uses liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) to quickly and effectively freeze water in pipes, creating a secure ice plug. Here’s how it works:
How Qwik-Freezer™ Works?
- A jacket is wrapped around the pipe at the freeze location.
- The jacket connects to a CO2 cylinder via a high-pressure hose, injecting liquid CO2.
- CO2 expands, forming dry ice at -70ºC (-108ºF), freezing the water inside.
- The ice plug forms only in the jacketed section, isolating it for repairs.
Benefits of Qwik-Freezer™:
- No draining or refilling is required, allowing for quick repairs.
- No system shutdowns, minimizing disruption to operations.
- Saves money by avoiding water wastage and downtime.
- Works on pipes made of iron, lead, steel, copper, brass, and plastic.
- Suitable for pipes from 3/8" to 8" (10-200 mm Ø), with longer freeze lengths for larger plugs.
Qwik-Freezer™: Efficient and Easy Pipe Freezing with CO2
For even more control and accuracy, the Accu-Freeze™ system uses liquid nitrogen (LN2) to create a precise, controlled ice plug.
This patented, digitally controlled system is designed for high-pressure systems and larger pipes, offering unmatched precision for safely freezing pipes up to 12″ (300 mm) in diameter.
How Accu-Freeze™ Works?
- A coil of copper tubing or an insulated jacket is wrapped around the pipe.
- Liquid nitrogen is injected into the jacket through a patented control system.
- The nitrogen lowers the temperature, forming a stable ice plug beneath the jacket.
- The digitally controlled system ensures precise, safe freezing.
- The ice plug can withstand up to 138 bar (2000 psi), ideal for high-pressure applications.
Key Benefits of Accu-Freeze™:
- The digital control system ensures precise temperature regulation for reliable ice plugs.
- Ideal for pipes 6" to 12" (150-300 mm) in diameter.
- Handles pressures up to 138 bar (2000 psi), perfect for high-pressure systems.
- Isolates the work area, allowing repairs without system shutdown.
- Reduces water wastage, avoiding environmental and cost impacts.
