Abstract

Cryogen Spray Cooling is used for cooling human skin during selected laser treatment of Port Wine Stain. Transient state cryogen spray involves intricate droplets evaporation, intense heat convection and mass transfer. In present paper, mass transfer equation of single droplet evaporation model for cryogen spray equilibrium evaporation stage was improved and the effect of seven gas phase models on single droplet evaporation characteristic in R-134a cryogen spray is compared. It is pointed out that the gas phase model which takes the effect of superheat into account was most coincidence with experiment data. A parametric study of the influences of initial diameter and velocity on the droplet evaporation is then carried out by this gas phase model.
