Increased Demand for Accu-Freeze® System at Nuclear Plants in Europe
|
|
|
COB Industries has been busy lately meeting increased demand for Accu-Freeze® in Europe. The system was installed and training programs conducted by COB Industries personnel at the PAX Nuclear Station in Budapest, Hungary in February 2007. Additional training is being scheduled for later in the year. Cernevoda Nuclear in Romania has also been increasing their use of Accu-Freeze®, and is currently scheduling training programs for the summer of 2007.
Accu-Freeze® is a patented, digitally controlled, portable liquid nitrogen pipe freezing system. This system was designed to meet a specific need in the nuclear industry to control the freeze temperature during a pipe freezing process. The nuclear industry has a general requirement that carbon steel pipe is not to be exposed to temperatures below -40° in order to maintain the structural integrity of the pipe. The Accu-Freeze® system meets this requirement with the ability to set a specific freeze temperature and by automatically controlling the freeze process with a digital controller, solenoid header assembly and thermal sensors placed on the pipe wall.
Accu-Freeze® is currently in use at nuclear facilities across North America, Europe and Asia. It is also used extensively by the US Navy on nuclear vessels and has been used by NASA for repairs on the Space Shuttle Atlantis on the launch pad at Kennedy Space Center.
