Two accidents of leak of ammonia that took place in 2013 were attributed to wrong operation of hot gas defrosting. It is the liquid hammer that destroyed the elliptical head of the pipe, resulting in the great loss of life and property. The process of hot gas defrosting is introduced according to the principle. The appearance of liquid explosion, liquid hammer and how to prevent it are also analyzed.
