THE FEASIBILITY AND ECONOMICS OF SLUSH ICE DISTRICT COOLING SYSTEMS.

Summary

THE PAPER EXAMINES THE TECHNOLOGY STATUS OF SLUSH ICE DISTRICT COOLING SYSTEMS. USING THE DISTRICT HEATING AND COOLING TECHNOLOGY CHARACTERIZATION COMPUTER MODEL WITH DELIVERED ENERGY COST AS THE FIGURE OF MERIT, A WIDE RANGE OF CENTRAL AND INDIVIDUAL BUILDING COOLING SYSTEMS ARE COMPARED. SLUSH ICE DISTRICT SYSTEMS ARE FOUND TO BE MOST COMPETITIVE. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT NEEDS INCLUDE AN EFFICIENT LOW-COST RELIABLE ICE-MAKING EVAPORATOR, AN EFFICIENT HEAT-ACTIVATED ICE-MAKING CHILLER, GREATER SLUSH ICE STORAGE EXPERIENCE, AND FLOW RESEARCH -PARTICULARLY CONCERNING FRICTIONAL FACTORS AND SEGREGATION BEHAVIOUR.
