Abstract
A promising alternative technology is the potential use of ice slurries as a secondary refrigerant in conventional cooling process. Ice slurries behave almost like a liquid and can be pumped through pipes although the energy capacity of ice slurries per unit volume is considerably higher than that for chilled water or brine due to the latent heat capacity of the ice particles. To give the basic data for the design of cooling systems using ice slurries, experimental study has been conducted to find out the performance of the cooling coil of show-case with ice slurries. Despite the fact that ice slurries entering the cooling coil had at least $5^{\circ}C$ higher temperature than that of R22, it was still capable of providing a similar cooling performance than that obtained with R22.
