Abstract
It is proposed that vapor has been elucidated to having relation to the release of supercooled water. In this study, considering that the vapor has a relation to dissolved air, a supercooling experiment is performed to test tubes of pure water with three patterns of initial dissolved oxygen (DOi = 4.1, 7.5, and 12.6 mg L-1), i.e. dissolved air. The initial DO in each test tube is kept to the value as constant as possible during supercooling. And the pressure effect on supercooling release of pure water is observed by measuring supercooling degree and by visualizing bubbles enclosed to the ice after full crystallization of the pure water. From this study, it appeared that the factors such as cooling rate, initial DO and pressure of pure water are related to the release of supercooling (supercooling degree and supercooling time). Moreover, the initial DO was confirmed to the confined bubble in fully frozen ice of pure water.
