The possibility of using a frost layer, created on the surface of a sample that undergoes cryogenic treatment, as a heat transfer enhancer was recently studied. This layer grows on the preliminary cooled sample surface as a result of its contact with moist air flow prior to its immersion into liquid nitrogen. A significant increase in the outflow heat flux (up to 12.8 times), or, alternatively, a cooling time shortening, in comparison with the bare sample was found. A detailed description of the frost layer development along with the influence of the thickness of the layer on the efficiency of the cooling process, as well as environmental parameters that affect the thickness itself is presented in the paper.
