Freezing of Spherical Droplets in the Environment of Cold Air

Production of natural hydrocarbon, transportation and filling into storage is often carried out in the Northern regions and is accompanied by direct contact of droplets produced with the environment cold air. The droplets initially may have a positive temperature. A similar problem occurs when the final product of some chemical substances have liquid – droplet state, the conditions of preservation of them demands solidification in a low temperature environment. In particular, this process is carried out in a stream of cold air. Advantages of this technology is obvious, if the liquid-droplets substances prone to decay or have high volatility. Heat treatment of such substances allows to preserve the integrity of the product and increases the safety of storage and of working with them.
