General Pipe Conditions & Examinations When selecting the section of piping for the freeze plug area it should be thoroughly examined for possible defects. CRYO Pipe Freeze Kits should only be used on sections of piping which are in good to excellent condition. Examinations should be done on a minimum length of pipe of 3 x the CRYO Pipe Freeze Chamber Length and the chamber should be placed in the center of the examined area (Fig. 1).

Pressure Buildup
When installing a CRYO Pipe Freeze Chamber on a dead headed section of pipe having less than the recommended length, certain steps can be taken to eliminate the potential of pressure damage. A pressure control point can be utilized by using an existing vent valve, periodically loosening a flange, stroking a downstream block valve or installing a hot tap saddle all of which will allow a controlled means to relieve the increased pressure created from the expanding CRYO Freeze Plug. These orifices may also make good controlled drain down ports as well as re-refill ports upon completion.

Chamber Placement: Torch / Flame Cuts or Field Welds A recommended distance for torch cuts and field welds from freeze plugs should be no less than 3 x the CRYO Pipe Freeze Chamber Length (Fig. 7). In some applications the distance can be reduced (Fig: 7.1). However, close attention should be given to the freeze plug and both the frost bands and temperature readings should always be monitored during the repair process.
LA
Chamber Placement: Pipe Orientation CRYO Pipe Freeze Chambers can be installed on pipes in either a horizontal or vertical position. However the preferred recommended installation position favors a horizontal section of piping due to the possible effects of heat convection found in vertical pipe applications. This is especially true when the fluid temperature is in the higher ranges. Flow Freeze plug applications require that ZERO FLOW be obtained in the system prior to the start of the freeze plug application. Attempting to achieve a workable freeze plug with any amount of flow is extremely difficult and/or impossible (Fig. 8). Impact or Strain Generating Work Activities When repair work is initiated in close proximity of the freeze plug location it is recommended that the planned work on the piping system not produce impact or strains such as bending or twisting action to the pipe. When possible the freeze plug application should be located a safe distance from the work area and well supported. Never place excessive weight on a freeze plug area. Always support the pipe. Project Preparation As much maintenance or pipe repair work should be completed prior to starting any pipe freeze project. This may include such steps as exercising old flange bolts, pre-assembly of pipe components and having all necessary items staged. Each pipe freeze application is different and the applicator should coordinate with the project foreman to complete any pre-project preparation. Work Area Safety Perimeter The applicator should erect a sufficient Safety Perimeter around all pipe freeze projects including the general work area, liquid nitrogen tanks and equipment. Only pertinent project personnel familiar with the project should be allowed access.

General Guidelines | 2.2
Fig. 9
Liquid Nitrogen Vapors: O2 Monitors It is HIGHLY recommended during all aspects of a pipe freeze plug applications that area worksite oxygen levels be monitored continuously by an OSHA approved oxygen monitor. According to OSHA guidelines the breathable air should never be less than 19.5%. Please consult with your safety department, oxygen monitor manufacturer, liquid nitrogen supplier and/or OSHA for more details. Halon, Smoke & Flame Detectors Be aware of halon and smoke detectors in the immediate area. Nitrogen vapors have similar characteristic as smoke and will activate these devices. Also be aware of fire/flame detectors and be careful not to upset them during the procedure. If necessary you may want to consult with the project site coordinator to de-activate these devices.

LA
Temperature Monitoring Equipment It is HIGHLY recommended to utilize temperature monitoring equipment on all freeze plug procedures. CRYOLATOR Pipe Freeze Products has developed a Freeze Plug Temp Monitoring Kit specifically for pipe freeze applications. (part # ACL-6001015-C). Please consult our sales staff for additional information (Fig. 9). Confirmation of Freeze Plug Once both the Frost Band and Temperature criteria have been meet it is time to check the integrity of the newly formed Freeze Seal Plug. Open a controlled means of drain on the drain down side of the Freeze Seal Plug. (i.e: controlled means may be a valve or other mechanical means which can be isolated as needed) (Fig. 10). SIGN OF GOOD PLUG: During the drain down process the Pipe End Thermocouples Temperature readings maintain temperature reading of no less than -35F and continue to drop as the fluid is drained. SIGN OF GOOD PLUG: During the drain down process the Frost Band growth distance continues to maintain and/or grow in length as the fluid is drained. Normal Frost Band growth is 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 in length out from the chamber end (Fig. 11). SIGN OF GOOD PLUG: During the drain down process the calculated fluid drain amount is completely emptied from the piping system. SIGN OF BAD PLUG: During the drain down process the Pipe End Thermocouples Temperature readings start to increase and continue to increase beyond the recorded drain down temperature start points. Immediately stop the drain down and DO NOT proceed. The plug is not solid or workable.
TO
General Guidelines | 2.3
NOTE: If at any time during the drain down process (1) of the (3) BAD PLUG SIGN criteria is noted the drain down SHOULD BE STOPPED and the situation be evaluated by the applicator.

YO
Equalization & Warm-Up Before a freeze plug is allowed to thaw it is highly recommended that the downstream piping section be refilled and if possible the pressure equalized to the upstream side. This practice may prevent possible system damage which may occur from the sudden release of a downstream freeze plug. System crossover piping or hose-jumped hot taps may be utilized to equalize the pressure across the freeze plug. Additional caution should be given to the possible pipe travel of a loosened/thawed plug once it has released from the internal pipe wall. A flowing freeze plug could damage downstream pipeline pumps and equipment. To accelerate the thawing process of a freeze plug the applicator may remove the CRYO Pipe Freeze Chamber and using a commercial heat gun to apply direct heat across the freeze plug to accelerate the thawing process. All flexible feed hoses and CRYO Pipe Freeze Chambers should be warmed above 0* F before being removed and flexed. Final Responsibility CRYOLATOR Pipe Freeze technical personnel may at times conduct preliminary telephone, email, off site project assessments and project evaluations for our clients. However the customer is responsible for all pipe inspections, potential freeze plug locations and any damage caused to their piping systems as a result of pipe freeze applications.

Containers Fig. 13 shows a typical cryogenic liquid cylinder. Cryogenic liquid cylinders are insulated, vacuum-jacketed pressure vessels. They come equipped with safety relief valves and rupture discs to protect the cylinders from pressure build-up. These containers operate at pressures up to 350 psig and have capacities between 80 and 450 liters of liquid. Product may be withdrawn as a gas by passing liquid through an internal vaporizer or as a liquid under its own vapor pressure (Fig. 13).

IMPORTANT NOTES Specification data is based on horizontal setups @ <70F inside fluid temperature with <70F outside ambient temperature. Only Low Pressure 22 psi Liquid Nitrogen Tanks should be used. Vertical setups may take approximately 10% additional time & Liquid Nitrogen Refrigerant. Listed Liquid Nitrogen Refrigerant quantities and times are estimates only. Actual times and quantities may vary due to factors such as outside ambient temperatures, fluid temperatures, and fluid type. System flow should be static (no flow) during the pipe freeze procedure. In addition to the listed Liquid Nitrogen quantity estimates additional Liquid Nitrogen should be on hand until the customer / pipe freeze applicator has obtained a proficient experience level and is familiar with each individual size and characteristics of pipe freeze applications. CRYOLATOR 102 & 204 Pipe Freeze Chambers / Equipment should NOT be used on piping systems with pressures greater than 300psi and temperatures greater than 110F. System temperatures and pressures operating beyond these limits should be reduced.
