Type of article: Article

Summary

Vacuum-freezing systems are now regarded as a promising technology for utilising cold water as a heat source. These systems make use of the latent heat of water and of the triple point of water where solid, liquid and vapour can coexist in equilibrium. Currently available system designs for vacuum freezing are mainly based on water vapour compression. The article describes a promising new system design where the water vapour compressor is eliminated.
