If one only operates with one collar, the free side of the T-distributor has to be
closed by the closing nut. If a 3. or further freezing points are required, additional
T-distributors (accessory) can be connected to the T-distributor.
3. Operation
Use eye protection
WARNING
WARNING
CO
2
displaces air! Do not use REMS Eskimo in submerged rooms (pits, shafts,
basements).
Danger of suffocation!
The water (or other liquid) in the pipe can only be frozen when it is no longer
owing. All pumps must therefore be stopped and no liquid removed or allowed
to escape from the pipe. Before freezing, let the water cool down to room
temperature.
Fully open the cylinder valve. The amount of CO
2
required is controlled auto-
matically. The liquid CO
2
expands in the injector and forms dry ice with a
temperature of –79°C and freezes the water within the pipe. After a brief period,
frost will form on the pipe in the vicinity of the freeze collars. If frost does not
form in accordance with time given in the table, then this indicates that the
liquid within the pipe is still fl owing (check that all pumps have been switched
off and prevent any removal or outfl ow of
water) or the water is too warm. While
work is in progress, the ow of CO
2
refrigerant
must be maintained, and the
CO
2
must ow out constantly between pipe and collar (pressure compensation).
Always ensure a suffi cient supply of refrigerant by providing a stand-by cylinder.
The only way to determine the amount
of remaining CO
2
is to weigh the cylinder.
If it is necessary to change the cylinder during work, it is essential that this proce-
dure should be complete within 7 minutes to prevent the ice pack from melting.
Once work is complete, close the cylinder valve and wait until the pressure in
the high-pressure hoses has returned to normal. Remove the high-pressure
hoses. Once the ice pack has
completely melted,
completely melted,
carefully unscrew and
remove the handle pieces with injector from the freeze collar and remove the
freeze collar.
4. Freezing Times
The freezing times and CO
2
requirements given in the table below are only to
be regarded as general guidelines and are valid for a water temperature of
approx. 20°C. The freezing times and refrigerant consumption values will there-
fore vary for higher temperatures. For freezing liquids in plastic pipes much
longer freezing times are generally required.
