CO2 Frost Formation Data from Cryogenic Carbon Capture Experiment

A dataset from the University of Chester 2020 experiment defines real-time CO2 frost formation in a vertical packed column. It includes Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) capacitance measurements at 714 frames per second and temperature profiles recorded via thermocouples. The data supports analysis of frost formation dynamics for cryogenic carbon capture processes.

Use Cases

• Correlate ECT capacitance measurements with temperature profile plateaus to detect equilibrium CO2 frost formation events.
• Analyze the effect of packing material and mixer gas components on ECT measurement signals during the desublimation process.
• Model dynamic CO2 frost formation using time-series ECT data captured at a 714 frames per second rate.
• Validate tomography analysis techniques for monitoring cryogenic carbon capture against experimental temperature data.

Strengths

• Includes high-frequency ECT data captured at a rate of 714 frames per second.
• Contains paired sensor data: ECT capacitance measurements and temperature profiles from thermocouples.
• Dataset is associated with a peer-reviewed scientific paper (Fuel, 2022, DOI: 10.1016/j.fuel.2022.125271).

Limitations

• Specific data volume (rows, file size) and column structure are not provided.
• Data is from a single 2020 laboratory experiment, limiting generalizability to other systems or scales.
• The raw description does not specify data formats or detailed metadata schema.
