A novel ice slurry generation system and its application.

Author(s) : WANG M. J., GOLDSTEIN V.

Summary

The paper deals with a novel ice slurry generation system in a specially designed heat exchanger to produce fine flowing ice crystals. One of its typical applications is in a district heating and cooling project which utilizes 7.4 megawatts of heat pump chillers and 2.53 megawatts of ice generating heat pumps. The facility containing the ice generation system reduces about 50% of cost compared to the conventional one, due to the use of off-peak power, the reduction in required storage and in fan-coil size. In a central cooling and heating project, ice generation system provides 4.2 megawatts of cooling for a commercial building. Ice slurry storage tanks are charged throughout the night to save operational cost. Heat released from the ice generation system is used for hot water and other heating purposes. Recent projects with 90 tons ice plants for transportation cooling sectors are also described.
