Gel ice storage system by water evaporation: ice production with a steam ejector.

Author(s) : HONGO K., MORI H., YAMAMOTO K., et al.

Summary

A gel ice storage system consists of water absorbable polymer as a thermal storage substance and a vapor pump for evacuating water vapor from the surface of the polymer gel. A steam ejector is used as a vacuum pump. Ice production by the steam ejector using low pressure steam was studied and the following facts were found: 1) Nonwoven fabric for packing gel has the potential to raise the supercooling temperature. 2) The COP with a steam pressure of 0.27 MPa was 0.205. 3) The COP was greatly influenced by the heat loss from the steam generator and piping system.
