Patent attributes
Systems according to embodiments of the present invention include an antifreeze manifold carrying pressurized antifreeze liquid, the pressurized antifreeze liquid having a foam surfactant, an air manifold carrying pressurized air, a junction of the antifreeze manifold and the air manifold, the junction configured to combine the pressurized antifreeze liquid and the pressurized air to form antifreeze foam, a foam generator configured to enhance bubble formation, and an outlet conduit to receive the foam. Methods according to embodiments of the present invention include storing an antifreeze liquid having a foam surfactant, pressurizing the antifreeze liquid to a first pressure, pressurizing a gas to a second pressure, wherein the second pressure is different from the first pressure, combining the antifreeze liquid at the first pressure with the gas at the second pressure to form an antifreeze foam, and injecting the antifreeze foam into a conduit to displace freezable fluid in the conduit.
