The aim of this work is to study the modelling of the thermal evolution inside an hydrate forming system which is submitted to an imposed steady cooling. The study system is a w/o emulsion where the formulation considers the CCl3F as the hydrate forming molecule dissolved in the oil phase. The hydrate formation occurs in the aqueous phase of the emulsion, i.e. in the dispersed phase. The model equation is based on the resolution of the continuity equation in terms of of a heat balance for the dispersed phase. The crystallization of the CCl3F hydrate occurs at supercooling conditions (Tc
