Ice slurry accumulation.

Author(s) : CHRISTENSEN K. G., KAUFFELD M.

Summary

More and more refrigeration systems are designed with secondary loops, thus reducing the refrigerant charge of the primary refrigeration plant. In order not to increased energy consumption by introducing a secondary refrigerant, alternatives to the well established single phase coolants (brines) and different concepts of the cooling plant have to be evaluated. Combining the use of ice-slurry- a mixture of water, a freezing point depressing agent (antifreeze) and ice particles- as melting secondary refrigerant and the use of a cool storage makes it possible to the same time the operating costs can be kept at a lower level. The accumulation of ice-slurry is compared with other and more traditional storage systems. The method is evaluated and the potential in different applications is estimated.
