Water as refrigerant and secondary refrigerant. Technologies for the production of chilled water and ice-slurries.

Author(s) : PAUL J.

Summary

The use of water as a refrigerant in any sense is restricted to industrial/commercial chiller technology and not applicable to household refrigerators and freezers. This technology utilizes an ice-slurry or "pumpable ice". It claims the same energy efficiency as current chiller systems with a 50% cost penalty.
