Abstract
The purpose of this study is to understand the behavior of frost layer growth under conditions favorable for desublimation. The frosting experiments were conducted on a horizontal cooling surface. Condensation did not occur at the initial stage of frosting, and feather-shaped frost crystals were formed on the cooling surface. These frost crystals grew one-dimensionally while maintaining their shapes. In addition, the effects of operating conditions (air temperature, air velocity, air absolute humidity, cooling surface temperature) on frost layer growth under the conditions favorable for desublimation were investigated. As the cooling surface temperature decreased, the increase in the amount of frost was insignificant. Additionally, an increase in air velocity increased the frost density but not the thickness of the frost layer.
