Summary

In relation to the problem of supercooling for ice storage devices, various kinds of experiments were carried out to find some factors which control the supercooling phenomenon. It was found that factors such as convection, stirring, vibration, non-contacting shock have no effect on freezing supercooled water. They seem to be just adding some positive energy to the water. On the other hand, collision or rubbing between solids or solid and liquid surface helps supercooled water to freeze. The authors believe that bringing water molecules whose motion was restricted by solid or liquid surface, closer to each other, induces the growth of the ice embryo.
