Green Glycol alternative

Our Freeze Block™ Coils are not just a product, they’re an investment towards reducing future maintenance, downtime, and coil failure. Here’s how they work:

  • Freeze Block™ Valves sense changes in pressure & temperature.
  • As a coil begins to freeze, a controlled volume of water is displaced from the coil to prevent coil freeze damage.
  • The Freeze Block™ valves then reseat to prevent flooding.
  • In many cases, eliminates the need for glycol, enhancing efficiency.
  • All coils come with a minimum 30-month warranty against freeze damage.
  • Add a Smart Coil System for instant notification of freeze events and a 48-month warranty.
  • Available for hot water, chilled water, and steam coils.

At temperatures 32°F and below, water can freeze and expand, causing excessive pressures that result in HVAC coil damage within a matter of minutes. Consequentially, expensive and time-consuming maintenance, coil repair, downtime, and potentially serious subsequent damage from the thaw and flood often occurs.

System failures frequently happen. Thanks to Freeze Block technology, you can add another layer of protection, should a freeze occur.

Can I retrofit Freeze Block technology onto an existing HVAC coil?

At this time, Freeze Block™ Technology cannot be retrofitted onto existing coils. Infield installation of Freeze Block technology would be expensive and difficult due to the amount of brazing required and the general lack of access to existing coils. 

You can order a new direct-fit replacement coil for any existing fluid or steam coil.

“We originally thought the coils ruptured when we found a patch of ice on the floor of the air handler. We were very happy that when our system failed, our coils did not rupture. Instead, the relief valves had discharged and when we thawed the coils they went back into operation with no leaks. We are happy that we went the extra mile and protected our HVAC coils with the Freeze Block technology. This event made believers out of us.” 

Roy Stein, The University of Pennsylvania

“These air handlers were a constant nuisance for the client; coils were rupturing every year. Since installing Cooney Freeze Block in 2011 we have yet to see a failure on any coils that were replaced by Herman Goldner Co., Inc. This product really does work.”
