Qwik Freezer Kits

qwik freezer kit

allows repairs or modifications to be made without draining down or shutting off systems.

 
 
 
 

Qwik-Freezer equipment utilizes liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) to freeze stationary water in selected sections of pipe or tubing. By producing very low "dry ice" temperatures, Qwik-Freezer forms a secure in-line ice plug. This temporarily isolates the water in the system and allows repairs or modifications to be made without draining down or shutting off systems.

The Qwik Freezer kit is easy to use. A specially designed Qwik Freezer jacket is wrapped around the pipe at the point where the freeze is required. A nozzle on the Qwik Freezer jacket is then coupled to a cylinder of liquid CO2 by means of a high pressure hose. When the liquid CO2 is injected into the space between the Qwik Freezer jacket and pipe, it immediately expands to form a solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) at a temperature of -109ºF (-78ºC). This low temperature quickly freezes the contents forming a secure “ice plug” which seals the pipe.

The Qwik Freezer “ice plug forms only in a section of pipe covered by the jacket so the resulting rise in pressure is very small and there is no damage to the pipe. The Qwik Freezer pipe freezing kit can be used safely on iron, lead, stainless steel, copper, brass and plastic pipe.

Major Advantages

double freezer application
  • Saves valuable time normally lost in draining down and refilling a system.
  • Avoids complete shutdown of systems and equipment  (as in a sprinkler or water supply system)
  • Prevents waste of large amounts of water.
  • Eliminates handling of waste water.
  • Safe and cost effective.

FOR USE IN MANY INDUSTRIES single pipe freezer

typical qwik freezer application

The water is brought to a static condition. The Qwik-Freezer jacket (orange) is then wrapped around the pipe, Jacket# 1, at a nearby upstream location. Injecting liquid CO2 into the jacket rapidly freezes the water in the pipe, permitting valve removal for servicing or replacement. Jacket #2 shows the position of a second Qwik-Freezer jacket and tank used when a double freeze is required to block flow on both sides of the valve.

Standard Equipmentqwik freezer kit

Qwik-Freezer kits consist of insulating pipe jackets, CO2 cylinder(s), reinforced high pressure hose, fittings, insulated work gloves, a rubber mallet, safety glasses, operating manual, timing log and carrying.

CO2 CYLINDER

COB provides specially adapted liquid CO2 cylinders for use with Qwik-Freezer equipment. The QFAL20, a 20 pound aluminum cylinder with protective handle, is supplied with 3/8" to 3" kits. A 50 pound aluminum cylinder, QFAL50, is supplied with 4"-8" kits as standard equipment. CO2 cylinders can be refilled by local welding and carbonic distributors.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR QWIK-FREEZER® EQUIPMENT

Set-up Preparations

  • Be sure there is enough liquid CO2 on hand for the job.
  • Be sure there is no flow of water through pipe.
  • Connect hose to nozzle on jacket and to cylinder.
  • Fit the jacket around the pipe. Always keep the jacket at least 16" (406mm.) or more from the point of repair if a torch is to be used and 24" (609 mm.) or more from the nearest closed connection.

Beginning the Freeze

  • Open cylinder valve fully and inject liquid CO2 (for times see table).
  • During the freeze period distribute the dry ice around the pipe by pressing the jacket firmly or tapping the jacket with the rubber mallet supplied with kit. Wear gloves & safety glasses.

Proceeding with Repair

  • Frost forms on the outside of the pipe near the edges of the jacket when the contents are frozen. The pipe is now sealed by the ice plug and repairs an be carried out.
  • Make an additional injection every 15 minutes. This procedure will maintain the freeze for as long as required, extra cylinders required.
  • Upon finishing repair, remove jacket and allow pipe to thaw naturally. Do not use a torch. The water system should return to normal in a matter of minutes.

CO2 Cylinder

The COB.QFAL 20 cylinder weighs 29 pounds empty and 49 pounds full. When full, it contains 18 pounds of usable liquid CO2 and 2 lbs. of residual gas. The COB.QFAL 50 cylinder weighs 56 lbs. empty and 106 lbs. full. When full it contains 48 lbs. of usable liquid CO2 and 2 lbs. of residual gas. The residual gas cannot be used for freezing. Always weigh you cylinder before attempting a freeze to ensure that more than enough CO2 is available to do the job safely..

Safety Precautions

As CO2 is heavier than air, care should be taken to disperse CO2 in confined and low lying areas. Always provide good ventilation in the work area.
