Summary

Ice adhesion to the cooling wall directly hinders continuous ice formation or system performance due to the increase of flow and thermal resistance. In order to obtain the basic characteristics of two- or three-component aqueous solutions with EG, SCA and water on freezing, the influence of component ratio and supercooling degree on those solutions was investigated through a batch type freezing process of the solutions. Moreover, the strength of ice adhesion was shown to vary according to stirring power. Ice adhesion was suppressed when (1) the solution including the additive SCA at a comparatively high concentration; (2) the solution had a high initial concentration of EG or SCA; (3) the brine temperature was higher; (4) the supercooling degree was comparatively small in the lower concentrations. No ice adhesion occurred at the stirring power below 30 W. Furthermore, the particle size of the ice slurry was smaller in higher concentrations.
