Experimental Study of the Influence of Water Mass on the Process of Hydrate Formation by the Method of Explosive Boiling Using Freon 32

Abstract

The paper presents a study of the effect of the ratio of water and hydrate-forming gas on the process of hydrate formation by explosive boiling of liquefied hydrate-forming gas in a volume of water. Freon 32 is used as a hydrate-forming gas, which has a high specific heat of vaporization, a lower density compared to water, and also forms a hydrate structure with sI. The studied gas looks particularly promising for gas hydrate cold accumulation technologies, as well as for modelling the processes of methane or carbon dioxide hydrate formation.
