International Journal of Refrigeration, 2010 The role of secondary refrigerants is expected to grow as the focus on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions increases. The effectiveness of secondary refrigerants can be improved when phase changing media are introduced in place of single phase media.

Ice slurry ingestion improves physical performance during high-intensity intermittent exercise in a hot environment. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 Ice slurry ingestion enhances exercise performance by lowering the core body temperature. However, an operational issue related to this ingestion is the requirement for a high intake of 7.5 g·kg-1 to produce the desired effects.

Effects of ice slurry ingestion on body temperature and softball pitching performance in a hot environment: a randomized crossover trial [PDF]
Journal of Physiological Anthropology, 2023 Background Although softball players are often required to play in hot environments, scarce evidence is available regarding the effects of ice slurry ingestion on body temperature and pitching performance in softball pitchers in a hot environment.

Selective reduction of visceral adipose tissue with injectable ice slurry [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Reduction in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) mass reduces body weight and metabolic disease risk in obese patients. However surgical removal of VAT is highly invasive and thus not clinically feasible.

Ice slurry ingestion reduces human brain temperature measured using non-invasive magnetic resonance spectroscopy [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 We previously reported that ice slurry ingestion reduced forehead skin temperature, thereby potentially reducing brain temperature (Tbrain). Therefore, in the current study, we investigated the effect of ice slurry ingestion on Tbrain using proton ...

Compromised heat loss leads to a delayed ice slurry induced reduction in heat storage. [PDF]
PLoS ONECompromised heat loss due to limited convection and evaporation can increase thermal strain. We aimed to determine the effectiveness of ice slurry ingestion to reduce thermal strain following hyperthermia in a state of compromised heat loss.
