Modelling and experimental validation of area constrained ice storage systems.

Author(s) : DREES K. H., BRAUN J. E.

Summary

The paper describes the development and validation of an improved mechanistic model for predicting the thermal performance of an area constrained ice storage system. Results for both charging and discharging cycles are presented for a variety of inlet brine temperatures and flow rates. The model predictions agree well with the experimental data. The storage tank heat transfer effectiveness was found to be highly coupled to the flow rate but insensitive to changes in the inlet brine temperature. Supercooling and recalescence were also observed during the charging cycle.
