At what temperature does No. 0 diesel freeze?
1 Answers
No. 0 diesel freezes at 0 degrees Celsius. The freezing of diesel is referred to as crystallization. The grade of diesel is named after the freezing point of the oil product, so No. 0 diesel begins to crystallize at 0 degrees Celsius. Diesel is a light petroleum product and a complex hydrocarbon mixture, serving as fuel for diesel engines. It is mainly composed of diesel fractions produced through processes such as crude oil distillation, catalytic cracking, thermal cracking, hydrocracking, and petroleum coking, and can also be obtained from shale oil processing and coal liquefaction. When selecting diesel, the choice is determined by the temperature during use. No. 0 diesel can only be used when the temperature is above 4 degrees Celsius.
