Abstract

In dynamic ice storage system(DISS), ice slurry is formed not only from solution freezing by mechanical removing parts but also supercooled solution. However, in order to perform continuous ice formation in the system without mechanical moving parts, supercooled aqueous solution should be formed stable through cooling heat exchanger and be dissolved uniformly in storage tank. In previous study, the time of ice slurry increased as the pressure of the cooling heat exchanger(PHX) increased. In this study, a cooling experiment of an ethylene glycol 7mass% solution was performed with various inlet temperature of the PHX, which has constant brine inlet temperature of $-7^{\circ}C$. The temperature in the storage tank maintained to freezing point of the solution. At results, the time of ice slurry formation increased as the supercooling degree decreased and the cooling rate increased.
