Thermal study of an ice slurry used as refrigerant in a cooling loop.

Author(s) : BEL O., HUNYADI-KISS I., ZWEIG S., LALLEMAND A.

Summary

Two-phase solid-liquid aqueous solutions called "ice-slurries" are very attractive agents because they present following advantages: a high storage density issued by the latent heat of phase change to which the water is submitted and a quasi-steady temperature which tends to limit the thermodynamical irreversibilities during the heat exchanges. The experimental circuit which has been set up to study a water-ethanol-ice mixture under the aspect of thermal behaviour is described. The results of a series of experiments are presented. The effects of process parameters on the ice production are discussed. A Nusselt-type correlation has been developed in order to delineate the influence of the variation of process parameters on the ice-slurry's heat-transfer coefficient.
