Wherein the arrows 5 indicate the direction of the air flow, are printed on the flange 4 using a non-fading paint or pigment and serve to indicate the direction of installation. Preferably, the diameter of the first rod 11a is in the range of 5mm to 8mm, and the diameter of the supercooled water droplets is small relative to the diameter of the cylinder.

The cross-sectional profile of the first fairing element 7a can include a circle, a drop, or an airfoil. Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the first rectifying element 7a is circular, so that the cross-sectional shape of the first rectifying element 7a is made to conform to the cross-sectional shape of the supercooled water droplet freezing probe 1a, and the shapes of the first rectifying element and the cross-sectional shape of the supercooled water droplet freezing probe are matched to achieve the rectifying effect.
