PROTECTION OF LIQUID FUELS

摘要

The formation in a liquid hydrocarbon fuel of ice particles having a weight average particle size greater than 1μm when said liquid hydrocarbon fuel is cooled to temperatures in the range of from 0 to−50° C. can be reduced or eliminated by use of at least one surfactant that is capable of dispersing water in said liquid hydrocarbon fuel to provide a stable clear water-in-oil microemulsion wherein the droplet size of the dispersed water phase is no greater than 0.25μm.
