Summary

The paper presents the results of an experimental and numerical study on ice banks of the parallel plate type with the objective of identifying the relative importance of the geometrical and operational parameters and their influence on the performance of the ice bank. The model is based upon one dimensional formulation of the phase change problem. The model predictions were compared with experiments, an analytical solution and an approximate model based upon the integral heat balance method. The energy stored, the interface position and the time for complete solidification are presented and discussed, taking into account the various parameters.
