Binary Ice: an alternative cooling method.

Author(s) : PAUL J.

Summary

The production of Binary Ice is based on an alternative to traditional methods of chilling. Binary Ice is an aqueous suspension of microscopic ice crystals with excellent properties. The increase in refrigerating capacity makes possible a reduction of either installed capacity, or of the diameter and length of piping. Other benefits: a reduction in energy demand for the pump and fan, and an increase in heat transfer. A considerable reduction in capital and service costs can be achieved through cold storage using Binary Ice. Two methods are used to produce the ice: the water vapour process for higher capacities (with water as refrigerant); and a conventional cooling cycle, using the FLO-ICE process, for smaller capacities.
