Analysis and computer calculation of work of systems of horizontal ground cooling have been fulfilled. The dependence of coolant temperature on the coordinates of the region of phase transition and the dependence of rate of liquified and gaseous coolant on the coordinates have been derived. The cases of turbulent and laminar flow of liquified and gaseous coolant have been considered.

Key words: Heat stabilizer, evaporator, foundation, simulation, cryolithozone.
