When lithium bromide is dissolved in water, a minimum solution temperature exists for each solution
concentration. The nature of LiBr solutions is that the salt component precipitates when the mass fraction
of salt exceeds the solubility limit. The solubility limit is a strong function of mass fraction and
temperature and a weak function of pressure. Furthermore, crystal nucleation is a process sensitive to the
presence of nucleation sites. If no suitable nucleation sites are present, super saturation can occur where
the salt content of the liquid is greater than the solubility limit. Once crystals begin to form, the crystals
