Frozen Pipes Can Stop Your Compressed Air System in Its Tracks!

Cold weather is here, and the biggest winter threat to your compressed air system is freezing pipes. Even a small ice blockage can cause pressure drops, system damage, and costly downtime.

Here’s how to protect your pipework this winter:

Insulate all exposed pipes — Prevent freezing in vulnerable areas and maintain consistent pressure
Drain traps & remove moisture — Condensation increases in cold air. Make sure everything is draining correctly.
Check antifreeze (glycol) levels — Especially on chillers and coolers. Low concentration = high risk of frozen pipes.
Test dryers & filters — Older components are more susceptible under winter loads.
Protect outdoor units — Ensure covers, heaters, or frost protection are fully operational.

Frozen pipes can lead to cracked housings, damaged components, and emergency hire equipment — a small oversight now could mean a huge repair bill later.

Stay ahead of winter - insulate, protect, and maintain your pipework to keep your system running efficiently all season.
