Summary

In this study, an experimental investigation is made of the anti-frosting performance of the authors' newly developed anti-frosting paint. By coating the paint on a cold metal surface, the onset of the frost formation may be delayed at least 15 min and the thickness of the deposited frost layer may be reduced by at least 40% and thus the weight of the deposited frost may be reduced by more than 40% compared with that on the uncoated copper surface. Under some preferable conditions (air relative humidity less than 60%, cold plate surface temperature higher than -10°C), the coating surface can be kept free of frost at least for 3 h.
