ABSTRACT
One of the main issues in the use of the ice powder is sintering of the particles and their adhesion to the surface of the enclosure. The strength of adhesion depends on ice temperature. This dependence is shown in Figure 1 (a). It follows from this figure that it is necessary to maintain ice temperature below -30°C to prevent sintering of the particles. Sintering also depends on the duration of particles contact. The radius of the neck, which forms between two ice spheres,
