It is well known from observations that some novae show infrared continuum excesses indicating dust heating by the strong ultraviolet radiation field. It seems, however, that dust formation in nova shells depends on some yet unknown intrinsic parameters since the characteristic infrared excesses are not observed in all objects. To study the conditions under which dust nucleation may occur in nova shells, as a first step we investigate the time dependend ionization and temperature structure.
