SUMMARY
Freezing liquids such as water and gasoline using compressed nitrogen is feasible with a specially designed tank featuring double sides and internal nozzles for nitrogen spray. The process requires precise calculations of nitrogen quantity and freezing time, which differ between substances. For 50 liters of water, approximately 10-15 liters of liquid nitrogen is needed, while gasoline may require slightly more due to its lower freezing point. The freezing time for water is estimated at 30-60 minutes, while gasoline may take longer due to its composition.
