Summary

A new method of forming ice, which is one of the dynamic types of ice storage system, is studied. In the method of water-oil emulsion is cooled with stirring in a vessel and changed into an ice-oil and water suspension. A mixture of 10 vol% silicone-oil and 90 vol% water is emulsified with a small amount of an additive. Silane-couplers are tested as the additive and effects of the additive on ice formation process are investigated. Cooling rate is changed and vessels made of various materials are tested. It is proved that the present method has the following characteristics. Ice-oil and water suspension (slush ice) which has a good fluidity is able to be formed without adhering to the cooling surface. Ice in the suspension is granular and dispersed state and the suspension with more than 70% of ice packing factor is also able to be formed. The suspension with the high ice packing factor can be preserved for a long time in the granular state.
