Why applications of ice slurry is so low?

Author(s) : RIVET P.

Summary

Most people dealing with ice slurry are sure that there is an interesting and valuable alternative to the systems using single-phase secondary refrigerant, as well as for replacing installations with direct expansion. Its main advantages are: the reduction (directly or indirectly) of greenhouse effects, reduction of the refrigerant charge and containment, the reduced size of the installation due to thermal storage, the smaller diameters required for the piping distribution system, better energy management and an improved cooling effect. So, why is the development of ice slurries expanding so slowly? This paper lists the different questions, give some answers received from several countries and I hope to get some reactions and furthers answers during this conference.
