Supercooled type ice slurry system is hard to keep a proper supercooling degree when solution becomes supercooling state. This is the reason of the ice blockage in pipe or cooling part due to an unstable cooling state. In this study, a cooling experiment was performed to pressurized solution in a stationary state. The behaviors during the supercooled aqueous solution were investigated at fixed flow rate of brine and aqueous solution of ethylene glycol 7 mass%. Also the effect to the freezing point of supercooled aqueous solution was investigated to the different pressure 101, 202, 303, and 404 kPa. At results, the pressure of the aqueous solution in the cylinder increased the supercooling degree increased and dissolution of supercooled point decreased.

The optimum culture conditions for the ice nucleating activity and the cell growth of Xanthomonas translucens KCTC 2751 were investigated. The optimum initial pH and temperature for the cell growth and the ice nucleating activity were 6.5 and $25^{\circ}C$, respectively. The optimum culture medium for the ice nucleating activity was composed of 1.0% maltose, 1.4% yeast extract, 0.8% digested of gelatin, and 0.03% KCI in distilled water. Freezing operations carried out on distilled water showed that the degrees of supercooling were $-7.90^{\circ}C$ without ice nucleators, $-1.56^{\circ}C$ with silver iodide as a commercial ice nucleator, and $-1.36^{\circ}C$ when Xanthomonas translucens KCTC 2751 were added. During progressive freeze-concentration assays, the addition of Xanthomonas translucens KCTC 2751 led to lower saccharose concentrations in the crystals, while the cells led to higher saccharose concetrations in the concentrated phase.

In a supercooled or capsule type ice storage system, aqueous solution (or water) may have trouble with non-uniform dissolution though the system contributes to the simplicity of system and ecological improvement. The non-uniform dissolution increases the instability of the system because it may cause an ice blockage in pipe or cooling part. In order to observe the supercooled state, a cooling experiment was performed with pressurization to an ethylene glycol(EG) 3 mass% solution in stationary state. Also, the effect of the pressurization from 101 to 505 kPa to the dissolution of supercooled aqueous solution was measured with the dissolution time of the supercooled aqueous solution at a fixed cooling rate of brine. At results, the dissolution of supercooled point decreased as the pressure of the aqueous solution in the vessel increased. Moreover, the dissolution point increased as the heat flux for cooling increased.

This present study has dealt with the effect of surfactant on the freezing of aqueous solution Sodium chloride aqueous solution was used to measure the effect of surfactant and the main parameters of this experiment were temperature of bath, revolution of stirrer. and the radial velocity of NaCl solution. The acquired main conclusions are as follows; 1) the lower super-cooling temperature make hardly to attach the ice on beaker, 2) the size of ice become smaller to add the surfactant, 3) the ice packing factor increase with increasing of stirrer revolution.

Recently, waste water treatment system is developed in small and middle size to get more economic advantage. Freeze concentration system has high thermodynamic efficiency and low energy consumption, can re-use purified water and cold energy obtained from ice. This study was experimentally performed to investigate pollution containment in frozen layer by cooling wall temperature, air-bubble flow methods, initial ice-lining thickness of frozen layer in NaCl aqueous solution and the representative heavy metals, Pb and Cr aqueous solution. As the result, a decrease in the cooling wall temperature bring a higher growth rate of ice front and the more solute was involved in frozen layer. The method to inject directly air-bubble into ice-liquid interface through ring shape nozzle gave high purity of ice compared to indirect method. Ice lining in 5mm thickness resulted in frozen layer with higher purity than 1mm thickness.

Recently large capacity of electric equipment and increasing in atomic power generation are shown. One of the reason is shortage of the electric power supply for air conditioning load during summer. And every consumer is concerning about economical refrigeration and air conditioning system to decreases electric power consumption and decrease in global warming. For these necessities, ice making thermal storage system is required. Therefore, in this paper, the possibility of continuous slurry ice making using flowing organic water solution in cooled circular tube has been investigated. The experiments was carried out under some parameters of concentration and velocity of water solution, temperature of cooled tube wall, and control pressure in tube, As a result, four types of operating conditions in the pipe, that was supercooling, continuous ice making, intermittent ice making and ice blockage, were classified . And it was found that the critical condition for continuous ice making was acquired as a function of these experimental parameters.

Ice adhesion and blockage problems have been issued in continuous ice slurry making process. So we composed continuous ice slurry making device using a commercial small plate heat exchanger (PHX), and investigated character of ice formation. An experiment of ice formation was peformed with an aqueous solution of ethylene glycol 7 mass%. In the experiment, the effect of the pressurization on ice slurry formation during the cooling process was investigated. The pressurization test for the aqueous solution was performed by setting valves at the PHX inlet and outlet. At the results, the time of continuous ice formation increased as the pressure of the plate heat exchanger increased for cooling temperature of $-5^{\circ}C$. Also continuous ice formation at the cooling temperature of $-7^{\circ}C$ showed a possibility. It was found that the pressurization may contribute to suppress the dissolution of supercooled aqueous solution in the PHX.

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.
