Summary

The study focused on an emulsion as a new thermal storage material for ice storage. Two types of emulsions were made using an oil-water mixture with a little additive. The oils used were silicone, light and lump oils. The water contents of the emulsions were 70, 80 and 90%. The additive was an amino-group modified silicone oil, and there was no depression of the freezing point for the emulsions because of its hydrophobic property. In order to elucidate the structures of the emulsions, the electric resistances were measured. From the above results, it was found that one was of a W/O type and the other was of an O/W type. The suitability of the two emulsions for ice storage was discussed, and it was found that a high performance ice slurry could be formed by the W/O type emulsion.
