DEVELOPMENT OF IMPROVED ICE-MAKING TECHNIQUES FOR STORAGE HEAT PUMPS.

Author(s) : STEWART W. E. Jr, DONA C. L. G.

Summary

AN INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN COMPLETED THAT EXPLORED POSSIBLE PRO CEDURES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF IMPROVED ICE-MAKING TECHNIQUES THAT COULD BE APPLIED TO THE OPERATION OF STORAGE HEAT PUMPS AND ICE THERMAL STORAGE. THE RESEARCH INCLUDED THE INVESTIGATION OF RELEVANT INFORMATION ON THE PRESENT STATE OF THE ART OF NEAR ICEPHOBIC COATINGS, ELECTRICAL EFFECTS, WATER ADDITIVES, MECHANICAL REMOVAL METHODS, AND OTHER MEANS. CONTAINED IN THE PAPER ARE DISCUSSIONS OF THE REVIEW OF THE RELEVANT LITERATURE AND THE EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES USED IN SEEKING NATURAL ICE SEPARATION. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT RESULT OF THIS RESEARCH PROJECT (ICE LAYERS APPROXIMATELY 6 MILLIMETERS IN THICKNESS WILL SELF-RELEASE WHEN GROWN FROM ELECTROLYTE/WATER SOLUTIONS ON A PLATE SUBMERGED IN 1.25 M OF WATER) IS DISCUSSED.
