Abstract

Sublimation rates and energies are critical for modeling the transport of water ice in cryogenic systems. A quick test was devised using an ASTM E-1559 [1] device that measures deposition with quartz crystal microbalances (QCMs). Credible results were obtained at temperatures as low as 120K and compared well with published data above 130K. Deposition and the following sublimation were performed with the QCMs held at constant temperature to alleviate variability due to ice morphology.
