Transport of cold thermal energy with a new secondary biphasic refrigerant: the stabilized ice slurry.

Author(s) : ROYON L., PERROT P., COLINART P., et al.

Summary

A dispersion of phase change materials (stabilized ice slurry) is proposed as an experimental biphasic refrigerant. The phase change material is water stabilized by a tri-dimensional network of polymer. The particle contains 90% of water and has the consistency of a viscoelastic solid above the phase change temperature. The measured values of specific heat, latent heat and density, are presented and discussed. A supercooling phenomena, whom the degree of supercooling does not exceed however 3 °C, is observed if the size of the particles becomes lower than 1 millimeter. The various advantages of using this slurry are presented.
