How Pipes freezing is done?
 

An effective means of system isolation, freeze plugs are developed within the pipe system through the application of CO2 or liquid nitrogen. The cryogenic process begins with heat being drawn from the product inside the pipe until it reaches a temperature below its freeze point.  Once that is done the subsequent phases of freezing continues. You can insert a new valve, make a new branch connection or modify your piping system with no system downtime.
