A flange assembly for forming an interconnection between pipes which pipes carry a working fluid the interconnection, said flange assembly comprising:

• first and second flange structures fastened to one another along respective flange structure interface surfaces and in alignment of respective flange structure pipe openings, wherein each of said flange structures includes a body portion with at least one heat transfer material channel disposed upon or within said body portion such that heat transfer material within said heat transfer channels influences a temperature of the body portion of each of the flange structures;
• an isolation material disposed between interface surfaces of the first and second flange structures, thereby isolating the first and second flanges structures from one another according to one or more of the following:
• (1) thermally, (2) electrically, and (3) chemically;
• and
• wherein said heat transfer material channels and heat transfer material are thermally configured to maintain an operative temperature range in the isolation material between the two flange structures while the working fluid passing through the pipes interconnected by said assembly is at a temperature outside the operative temperature range of the isolation material.
