In technologies of cryotherapeutic effects, the main attention is paid to the choice of temperature of cryogenic gas. At the same time, along with the gas temperature, other process parameters are also essential: the gas velocity, the dimensions and spatial orientation of the biological cooling object, the humidity and gas velocity, etc. To develop the technique and technology of general cryotherapy, generalizing research is needed that can form the theoretical basis for the production and design of cryotherapy equipment. The most general results can be obtained by studying the effect that cooling has on a biological object with different intensities of heat removal along the length of the biological object. The work will conduct a chilled analysis of heat flux losses from the surface of the skin of a biological object with a slight change in the geometry of cryosauna during the whole-body cryotherapy process (WBC). To implement these tasks, a software package using the finite element method will be used. To describe the biological object with internal heat release, these biological heat equations were solved using the Penns approximation. The results of this work will help to give recommendations to cryosauna manufacturers to optimize the design of the cryotherapy unit, which in turn will help to increase the effectiveness of cryotherapy.
