Determining the freezing point of high-density hydrocarbon fuel by Hortvet method (CAT#: STEM-PPA-0157-LJX)

Introduction

High density hydrocarbon fuel is an important component of liquid propellant. From aircraft and missiles to rocket propulsion and satellite control, high-density hydrocarbon fuel has important application value. With the development of aerospace technology, the speed and range of aircraft have been greatly improved. In order to satisfy the good ignition performance and flow performance in high altitude low temperature environment, the fuel must not only have a higher volume calorific value, but also have a good low temperature performance.
The freezing point of fuel is the lowest temperature at which the fuel is free of hydrocarbon crystallization, which is an important index to characterize the low temperature performance of fuel. This is because hydrocarbon crystals that appear in the fuel when lowered to the freezing point block the fuel from passing through the vehicle's filters.
