Summary

The storage and melting characteristics of slurry-ice mixtures in several tanks were investigated experimentally. For ice storage processes, three different kinds of ice-feeding methods were tested in connection with the fluidizable water-ice two-phase mixture produced in the system. It was confirmed that the achievable bulk ice-packing factor in any tank and using any of these methods was 30-40% under stable operational conditions. For ice melting processes, two different kinds of methods were considered and tested. Both were advantageous in that almost all ice stored in a tank could be consumed, thereby maintaining high system performance. By a modelling analysis of ice melting processes in the tank, it was to predict accurately the time history of tank outlet water temperatures.
