The purpose of the present invention is to provide a determining device and a determining method to determine whether an inspected jet nozzle is defective by inspecting the jet nozzle for injecting a jet stream with long ground penetrating distance at a stage before installing in a construction site where a large diameter jet grouting method is used. To achieve this purpose, with this invention, in which a nozzle to be inspected is mounted onto an outlet port, a jet stream is ejected from a jet stream generating device, and measurement data measured by a pressure sensing unit when the jet stream impacts the pressure sensing unit is processed with a controlling device (for example, a computer), a nozzle to be inspected is determined to be a non-defective product if a first ratio is no less than a first prescribed value, a second ratio is no less than a second prescribed value, and a third ratio is no less than a third prescribed value.

Determining device and determining method

The purpose of the present invention is to provide an artificial ground freezing method having good coolant thermal efficiency without a gas-phase coolant being released into the ground or into the air. For that purpose, the present invention has: a freeze pipe (: casing) for freezing the ground buried in the ground and a coolant circulation pipe () provided on the inside of the freeze pipe (), wherein the coolant flowing inside the coolant circulation pipe () is carbon dioxide; and a coolant apparatus () that cools and supplies the carbon dioxide to the coolant circulation pipe (), the coolant circulation pipe () comprising a first coolant circulation pipe (A) on which a plurality of micro-coolant passages (A delta) is formed, wherein the tip portion (tip portion in the ground) of the first coolant circulation pipe (A) is connected to a plugging member (: bottom socket) that connects the plurality of micro-coolant passages (A delta) of the first coolant circulation pipe (A) to a coolant supply side and coolant return side.
