Ice slurry: pressure drop and deposition velocity.

Summary

Ice slurries are used in indirect refrigeration systems. The storage tank of ice slurry systems decreases the maximum required cooling capacity of the equipment and smooths down the installation consumption. An advantage of ice slurry systems compared to chilled water systems is the higher cooling energy that can be delivered to customers using the same installed pipes. This paper gives a complete investigation of ice slurry pressure drops and deposition velocity. A model for the friction factor, obtained by empirical and semi-empirical approximation, is discussed. A new simple and efficient method is introduced to find the deposition velocity in an ice slurry fluid flow. Finally, a variety of experimental results and some theoretical calculations of ice slurry flow patterns are shown.
