A VACUUM-FREEZE EVAPORATOR FOR LARGE HEAT PUMP INSTALLATIONS.

Summary

THE AUTHORS INTEND TO USE THE LATENT HEAT OF ICE FORMATION AS THE HEAT SOURCE FOR HEAT PUMPS. THIS PROCESS IS MORE ADVANTAGEOUS WHEN A SLURRY OF SMALL CRYSTALS IS PRODUCED. THE ICE SLURRY IS PUMPED INTO STORAGE TANKS OPERATING AT LOW COST, WHICH ENABLES ONE TO USE THE LATENT HEAT OF THE ICE SLURRY FOR SUMMER COOLING. IN ADDITION, THE WASHING AND MELTING OF CRYSTALS PROVIDES DISTILLED WATER. THE AUTHORS DESCRIBE A VACUUM-FREEZE EVAPORATOR IN WHICH A WATER-ICE MIXTURE IS PRODUCED BY DIRECT CONTACT WITH WATER EVAPORATING AT THE TRIPLE POINT (0.6 KILOPASCAL). WATER VAPOUR BEING USED AS AN INTERMEDIARY HEAT CONDUCTOR WAS CONDENSED ON THE EVAPORATOR OF A HEAT PUMP. INVESTIGATIONS WERE MADE IN ORDER TO CHECK THE SATISFACTORY OPERATION OF CONDENSING PROCESSES AND TO REMOVE CONDENSED VAPOUR.
