Blast freezers play a crucial role in food processing plants, particularly in preserving the quality and safety of perishable food items. These freezers operate by rapidly bringing down the temperature of food products, often within the main freezer facility, to well below freezing point. This rapid freezing process is vital for maintaining the cellular integrity of the food, which in turn preserves texture, flavor, and nutritional value.

Consider this: a gallon of water, when frozen, will expand to a volume 9% greater than its original size. So it is no surprise that a fully or partially frozen pipe will swell up and crack, leaving building owners faced with costly flood damage.
