The results of experiments are presented for heat and mass transfer through water-saturated ceramics with an ice inclusion. Temperature gradient dependences of heat and mass fluxes are obtained at different average temperatures. Possible reasons are suggested to explain the difference of the experimental data from theoretical prediction.
