An evaporative style for dynamic ice-slurry producing with supercooled water.

Author(s) : LI X., ZHANG X.

Summary

Ice-slurry is an ideal form of ice product for ice-storage, which is an effective measure to save energy. The conventional producing method using supercooled water suffers the troubles of instability and heavy dependence on electronic power. The authors propose a novel method to improve that: spraying water is supercooled by evaporating in a chamber where the air is of low humidity and low wet bulb temperature; a refrigeration cycle and an inlaid liquid-dehumidifying unit are adopted to recover the air to run the cycle; the rejected heat from the condenser is used to drive the liquid dehumidifying unit. System and performance analysis were made. The results indicate that compared to the conventional supercooled water system, this new system could avoid the ice block, and shoulder off the heavy dependence on the electric power while raise the efficiency by a maximum value of 98% under certain conditions.
