Investigation on cohesive force of ice particles in ice slurry for long-term ice storage
International Journal of Refrigeration, 2018Abstract The use of ice slurry in the cold storage of foods has increased. However, ice particles in ice slurry easily cohere to each other because of their buoyancy and weight. In this study, ice slurries with different ice packing factors, supercooling degrees, and ice particle masses were formed in a beaker by supercooling dissolution of water and

PRESSURE DROP IN ICE-WATER SLURRIES FOR THERMAL STORAGE APPLICATION
Experimental Heat Transfer, 1987Pressure drop and flow characteristics were studied for ice-water slurries in 7.6 in-long horizontal pipes of diameters 0.1 m and 0.05 m. Ice fractions ranged from 0 to 16% in the experiments, and the latter represented considerable thermal storage potential. Reynolds numbers at zero ice fraction were above 105.

Numerical modeling of double-diffusive convection in ice slurry storage tank
International Journal of Refrigeration, 2010Abstract The interaction between laminar Rayleigh–Benard convection and non-isothermal melting process is studied for the case of ice slurry kept in a rectangular cavity heated from the bottom. Clear visualization of the Rayleigh–Benard convective cells and their interaction with the melting front are obtained.

Modelling and numerical simulation of ice slurry storage tank
2007Abstract Ice slurries, composed of an aqueous solution and water ice crystals, are used in new environmentally friendly refrigeration systems in order to reduce the amount of refrigerant. The slurry storage tank is an equipment which is important to correctly design.

Slurry-Store: Experimental and numerical investigations of ice slurry storages
Ice slurry generation technology with the supercooling method consists of cooling water below its melting pointin a supercooling heat exchanger, called supercooler, therefore retaining this water is in a thermodynamicallymetastable liquid state. Downstream from the supercooler, the supercooled water flows through a flow-basedcrystallizer where the ...Carbonell, Daniel +2 more

Effects of storage on flow and heat transfer characteristics of ice slurry
International Journal of Refrigeration, 2012Abstract The effect of storage on flow and heat transfer characteristics of ice slurry was investigated experimentally. After ice slurry had been stored in the storage tank, variations in ice particle size were measured using a microscope, and diameter distribution and average diameter determined.

Abstract A functional fluid was made by adding a small amount of additive to a water–silicone-oil mixture with 90 vol% water content, and the functional fluid was transformed into an ice slurry by cooling while stirring. The new ice formation system, which authors proposed for ice storage based on the results of previous studies, demonstrated that ...

Characterisation of ice slurry sedimentation applied to storage
2009La réfrigération par coulis de glace est une technologie de distribution de froid prometteuse, mais son développement est encore très lent. Pour palier cette réduction d'efficacité, il est nécessaire de coupler au système de coulis de glace un dispositif de stockage.

This study focuses on an emulsion as a new thermal storage material for ice storage. Two types of emulsions were formed using an oil-water mixture with a small amount of additive. A silicone, light and lump oils were used. The water contents of the emulsions were 70, 80 and 90%. The additive was an amino group modified silicone oil.

Experimental Investigation of Ice‐Slurry Based Cold‐Storage System for Farm Packhouses
Energy StorageABSTRACTAn ice slurry‐based cold storage unit is a promising option for the on‐farm packhouses. However, it is associated with a few challenges, such as low energy efficiency and high maintenance costs. Given this, the present study explores the surface‐scraped method for ice slurry generation and makes the system viable for on‐farm cold storage ...
