Development of active control method for supercooling releasing of water.

Author(s) : TANINO M., KOZAWA Y., MITO D., et al.

Summary

The authors tested a prototype ice-slurry generator that enables both production of supercooled water (-2 °C) and releasing of its supercooling simultaneously and continuously in a closed piping system. For triggering supercooling release, they adopted ultrasonic wave and evaluated its reliability for practical use, as compared to the seed ice-crystal trigger. The results confirmed that the ultrasonic wave trigger acts assuredly at the same level as the seed ice-crystal trigger. Moreover, the ultrasonic wave has the advantage of removing the ice crystals growing on the pipe wall at the same time. Continuous ice slurry making was obtained in this manner over a 6-hour period.
