Pre-conditioned solute for use in cryogenic processes

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Embodiments of the present invention disclose methods for producing preconditioned solutes that exhibit no temperature spike during super-cooling in a cryogenic process. In addition, the solutes demonstrate utile capabilities and characteristics such as more efficient heat absorption rates and eutectic material properties which make the pre-conditioned solutes an efficient heat exchange medium. The methods involve super-cooling a solute to induce a longduration phase change capability. The pre-conditioned solute may be thawed and will retain long-duration phase change capabilities for subsequent freezing cycles if the freezing protocols disclosed herein are followed. Material to be …
