Type of article: Article

Summary

The paper deals with the cold latent heat energy release characteristics of direct-contact heat exchange between solidified oil droplets (tetradecane, melting point of 5.8 deg C) and hot air. The hot air was injected into a solidified oil droplets-water mixture layer from the distributor with a number of small circular nozzles. The solidified oil droplets-water mixture layer was fluidized by air bubbles ascending in the layer, and the air bubbles were cooled as they passed through the layer, by direct-contact heat exchange. The present paper describes the characteristics of temperature and humidity of the outlet air from the layer, and time history of the cold heat energy release.
