The AWS Handbook of Ground-Based Cold Fog Dissipation Using Vented Liquid Propane. Volume I - Theory and Practice,
Abstract
The theory and practice of ground-based cold fog dissipation using vented liquid propane are explained. The cumulative AWS expertise in ground-based cold fog dissipation is summarized. Cold fog dissipation is dependent on the phase transition of liquid water to ice. The ice phase is initiated by severe local cooling due to the adiabatic expansion of vented liquid propane. The ice crystals grow at the expense of the supercooled fog droplets and fall out, thus effecting a clearing. Three operational cold fog dissipation networks are illustrated. Generalized guidance for planning, procuring, installing, and operating a cold fog dissipation system are given.
