Maximum freeze concentration

Concentrations higher than 68% are not recommended 68% provides maximum freezing protection to approximately —92°F ( — 69°C). 

Recent surveys have shown that over-concentration and under-concentration are common sources of cooling system problems. A minimum concentration of 33 1/3% is required to provide minimal corrosion protection. Maximum freeze protection is obtained at 68% by volume. Concentrations over 68% will adversely affect heat transfer, raise freezing point, and may cause inhibitors to precipitate from the coolant when the engine is operating. 

Figure 7.3 is another example of a typical state diagram, developed for maltose. Maltose solutions are in glassy state below Tg curve. T g (onset of glass transition) and (onset of ice melting) show constant values for the maximally freeze concentrated solutions, where maximum ice formation occurs between T and Tg, and T is at the end point region of Tg (Figure 7.3) (Roos and Karel 1991b). State diagram for sucrose (Figure 7.4) also shows similar characteristics (Roos and Karel 1991a).

Freezing point measurements were carried out in a manner similar to that of Brown and Prue [55BRO/PRU], and similar results were obtained. Analysis of the saturated solutions was done by comparison of the conductivity with the conductivity of standard solutions. An extended Debye-Huckel treatment was used to analyse the data, and values of K =118 to 250 dm mol were obtained for values of the Debye-Huckel a parameter of 0.4 to 1.4 nm. The author reported that the calculated association constant also depends on the choice of the maximum solute concentration for which the data analysis can be considered reliable. In the present review the data were reanalysed using the SIT, and only data for total nickel sulphate molalities < 0.03 were used. 

The observed rate constant initially rises steeply during freeze-concentration it increases to a maximum at -8°C to decline with further decrease in temperature. The study also shows how any so-called inert additives, e.g. salt, significantly affect the mutarotation kinetics during freezing. 

As regards the role played by excipients in determining the glass transitions of the freeze-concentrate and the final dried product, they may increase Tg, thus allowing the implementation of shorter cycles by raising the maximum safe temperature for ice sublimation. In addition, any excipient that increases Tg of the final dried product will thereby raise the product s maximum safe storage temperature. This is of particular importance for the production of shelf-stable products. Some excipients, particularly those of a PHC type, also stabilise proteins in... 

Figure 2 shows maximum freezing potentials as a function of ionic species and concentration. Figure 3 illustrates the freezing-rate and concentration dependence of the maximum potential. 

This model shows the important influence of heating and quenching rates on the amount of final products. The heating rate controls the maximum NO concentration values as the quenching rate controls the freezing of the high temperature mixture. 

O-ethylbenzene is a yellow transparent oily liquid, and its density is 1.126 g/ cm, freezing point is below -40 °C, flashing point is 110 °C, and boiling point is 223-224 °C. It is not combusted even the air temperature achieves 250 °C, but detonation occurs contacting with fire. It is corrosive and toxic, the maximum allowable concentration is 0.005 mL/kg in the air and the LD50 value of oral acute toxicity test in mice (the lowest dose to cause of half death of animals) is 4.2 mg/kg. Hence, it is a low toxic substance based on the chemicals toxicity grading standards. The formulations of different ONEB are ... 

For shdl and tube heat exchange Numerous related topics including evaporation Section 4.1, distillation. Section 4.2, crystallization Section 4.6, freeze concentration Section 4.3, melt crystallization. Section 4.4, PFTR reactors Sections 6.5-6.12. Approach temperature 5 to 8°C use 0.4 THTU/pass design so that the total pressure drop on the liquid side is about 70 kPa. Allow 4 velocity heads pressure drop for each pass in a multipass system. Put inside the tubes the more corrosive, higher pressure, dirtier, hotter and more viscous fluids. Recommended liquid velocities 1 to 1.5 m/s with maximum velocity increasing as more exotic alloys used. Use triangular pitch for all fixed tube sheet and for steam condensing on the shell side. Try U = 0.5 kW/m °C for water/liquid U = 0.3 kW/m °C for hydrocarbon/hydrocarbon U = 0.03 kW/m °C for gas/ liquid and 0.03 kW/m °C for gas/gas. 

Equipment for food freezing is designed to maximize the rate at which foods are cooled to —18° C to ensure as brief a time as possible in the temperature zone of maximum ice crystal formation (12,13). This rapid cooling favors the formation of small ice crystals which minimize the dismption of ceUs and may reduce the effects of solute concentration damage. Rapid freezing requires equipment that can deHver large temperature differences and/or high heat-transfer rates.
