Parametric analysis of an internal-melt ice-on-coil tank.

Author(s) : NETO J. H. M., KRARTI M.

Summary

The effects of variables such as thermal conductivity of the coil material, tank capacity, and the longitudinal and transversal pitches are considered. In addition, an economic analysis is performed for different tank arrangements to determine optimum values for coil diameter and tank capacity. A numerical model based on a thermal network technique and validated experimentally is used to carry out the parametric analysis. The input parameters include secondary fluid inlet temperatures and flow rates of a 29% by weight concentration mixture of ethylene glycol and water.
