Freeze jackets provide a wider freeze plug and can work with a 10-30 percent glycol line. Always test the contents of a line to see what the actual percentage of glycol is. It also takes more time to freeze than the chart shows.
The Arctic Freeze Kit is a good system for companies that do small to medium amounts of pipe freezing. The Arctic Freeze Kit sometimes have 1/2 the injection ports than the Qwik-Freezer System. The Qwik-Freezer System is for companies performing medium to larger amounts of pipe freezing.
Yes. You can always purchase the size you need now, and add to your freeze system as needed. The entire kit will allow you more versatility for your future pipe freeze jobs. However if you are performing one pipe freeze only, we will get you a quote for that size only.
The tables below are for typical freezing of static water at 68 F in Schedule 40 steel pipe. Higher temperatures will require additional injection and waiting periods. Plastic pipe will take up to 3 times longer. Refer to Operating Manual for detailed instructions. For freezing applications on pipes larger than 9" (203mm) in diameter, please contact PipeMan Products, Inc.
This unit freezes all types of liquids in steel, copper, cast iron, aluminum, plastic, ductile, and ACP (Asbestos/Cement) pipe. Please see the manual for the pipe freeze chart and adjust your times accordingly.
The charts are based on 68 degrees F. The warmer the line the longer it takes to freeze and the more CO2 that is needed. At some point the water will be too warm or hot to freeze. You can cool down the line faster with ice bags or dry ice to get the temperature down so it can freeze.
This can be achieved through several different methods. The most popular way if the water in the line is not flowing is pipe freezing. Pipe Freeze Kits using CO-2 are an inexpensive way to get the job done when draining the system is not an option. By pipe freezing you can place a 7000 psi ice plug on one or both sides of your repair, complete the job and just let the ice plug thaw out. It just requires a pipe freeze kit and dip tube CO-2 cylinders.
The bag-style freeze kits have a greater chance of freezing lines containing small amounts of glycol, but not within the freeze times listed. Knowing the concentration of glycol is hard to determine; consider the antifreeze in your car that came from the factory with a known percentage of antifreeze in the radiator, but who knows what percentage that is after years of use and adding fluids. Whenever dealing with glycol it is highly recommended that you obtain a sample of the line contents and perform a test freeze with the same type of pipe in a controlled environment. This test will help you determine how long it will take to get the line to freeze and how much CO2 will be needed to perform the freeze on the job site.
A filter is a filter, is a filter, right? Not exactly. A shop vacuum filter can vary in a number of aspects, and knowing which filters are right for you and your needs can be difficult or confusing. Below we address each element of a filter, and how Qwik Lock matters. This will help provide a guide to get the most out of your vacuum filters.
The fastening system that a vacuum uses is an important element when it comes to reducing the steps and time required to replace or change your filters. On some shop vacs a filter is held on with a cap that screws into place, or a plate and nut. These extra components make the process take longer. It can create a larger mess with these extra parts and pieces which also have a good chance of being lost. Additional to these issues some other brands of wet/dry vacuums have filters that are held on with friction which can fall off, and create a large mess.
The filter slides down over a filter cage on the vacuum. This cage gives support to the filter. A stud, referred to as a Qwik Lock stud in the manual, pops through the center of the filter's flexible cap, holding the filter in place.
WORKSHOP vacuum cartridge filters use an accordion style pleating method to allow for increased filter material in a reduced amount of space. Additionally, a pleat design can help reduce how fast the filter surface is filled with debris.
Qwik Lock vacuum filters come in 3 levels of filtration for different applications, and each material is colored differently to help quickly identify this difference even when there is no packaging to reference.
A shop vacuum filter can be made from many types and grades of material. These materials effect how how well, or how small the debris is that it will capture. This is measured by an efficiency of the media.
For example standard media captures particles down to 5 microns in size at 95% efficiency while a fine dust media can capture particles down to 1 micron at 99% efficiency, and HEPA media captures particles down to an incredible 0.3 microns at 99.97% efficiency.
The size of debris you want to capture may depend on your application or your needs. For instance, if you need to capture dry wall dust or fine powder you will need a Fine Dust or HEPA Material filter, otherwise this dust will go through the filter and back into the air. Below is a chart to help describe what the filter is ideally used for:
Pleated paper media filters such as Qwik Lock Cartridge filters are considered "mechanical filters." As air is pulled through a media particles are trapped by 4 different methods (which can effectively happen all at the same time). This is by Diffusion, Interception, Impingement, and Straining. The finer the media the smaller the particle it is able to capture.
Yes. Following the instructions found in the owner's manual you can tap the dirt out of the filter in a well ventilated area, and you can spray the filter off with your hose as long as you allow it to properly dry. If there are any rips, tears, or weak places in the filter you will need to replace the filter.
No. Dust collection bags for WORKSHOP shop vacuums are completely optional. Where available we include the first one so that users can determine if they are the best option for their needs. These bags help keep your shop vac clean, and make disposal of collected debris much cleaner and easier. It is recommended that when you do use a bag continue to your Qwik Lock filter to protect your vacuum. Find the right bag for your WORKSHOP Wet/Dry Vacuum.
The individually boxed course includes a 250 page, full color, fully illustrated study manual, a concise study guide, and a software code for downloadable interactive training software which includes over 400 practice questions and hours of video and audio content.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has required that all persons handling refrigerants should be certified. EPA-Approved Section 608 certification is needed to service building air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Additionally, with 608 certification you can purchase any refrigerant in containers greater than 20 pounds.
