Summary

Using supercooled water to generate ice slurry is one of the promising methods due to its high efficiency and energy saving; however, the ice blocking happened in supercooler is a problem that will reduce the efficiency of the ice-making system. In order to avoid/retard ice blocking or increase the time of ice production in a dynamic system using supercooled water, a nano-fluorocarbon coating was coated on the supercooler in this study. Effects of the nano-fluorocarbon coating on the ice-making system which was combined by three different parts were studied experimentally. Compared with the uncoated supercooler, the experiments were conducted based on the different parameters: the temperature of the supercooled water, the supercooling degree, the start time of ice blockage and the flow rate. The experimental data were obtained by a data acquisition system, then were analysed and discussed. Finally, it was observed that the supercooler coated with the nano-fluorocarbon coating could be applied to retard ice-blocking thanks to the properties of the coated surface.
