This study was experimentally investigated to understand the ice making characteristics of ice on a coil type ice maker. The experiment was carried out under the following conditions which are the brine temperatures of $-10[^{\circ}C],\;-8[^{\circ}C],\;-6[^{\circ}C]$, brine flow velocities of 1.0[m/s], 1.4[m/s], 1.8[m/s] and initial water temperatures of $6[^{\circ}C],\;9[^{\circ}C],\;12[^{\circ}C]$, ect. The acquired conclusions shows: 1) Ice making amount is increased with decreasing in the temperature of brine. 2) Total ice making amount shows higher value in larger size coil. However, the ice making amount per heat transfer area is increased in smaller one. 3) The ice making amount is increased with decreasing in the initial water temperature. 4) It is cleared that the overturn of natural convection existed in this experimental result.

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.

An experimental investigation was performed to compare ice making characteristics of ice storage system with smooth and spiral tube. During the freezing processes in the shell and tube type ice storage tank with smooth tube, heat resistance of the ice layer caused a decrease in freezing rate. Also, the phenomena of bridging made the increasing rate of ice making less. In order to improve the ice making rate, spiral tube(pitch=6mm) was used in the present study. The ice making rate and the decreasing of bridging for the spiral tube were higher than those for the smooth tube.

The study experimented to understand ice-on-coil type ice making characteristics on to 3 kinds of circular tube, oval tube and small diameter tube using ice maker. The experiment were carried out under various conditions, that used brine temperature($-10^{\circ}C$, $-6^{\circ}C$), brine flow rate(1.0m/s, 1.8m/s) and inlet water temperature ($6^{\circ}C$, $12^{\circ}C$) etc. Mass of ice per ice making area increased according to the decrease of the brine temperature and inlet water temperature, but that was increased according to the increase of the brine flow rate. Oval ice making tube produced ice 1.11 to 2.46 times that of 9mm circular ice making tube, and 3mm small diameter ice making tube produced ice 1.06 to 1.51 times that of 9mm circular ice making tube.

Most Ice making companies make simple efforts to make products and fail to introduce improvements into the system against huh cost of products. The work presented here is an implementation of ice making method to improve both energy efficiency and productivity. In this present investigation, several ice making cycles are designed and calculated to evaluate COP, ice making time and electric energy consumption. Results obtained shows that COP is improved with more efficient use of time for ice making and electric consumption. Therefore this can offer the opportunity for more efficient energy consumption and productivity in ice making.

Domestic ice making companies make effort to obtain products and neglect to introduce low cost product improvements with energy savings. The work presented here is an implementation of ice making method to improve both energy efficiency and productivity. In this present investigation, several ice making cycles are proposed for higher efficiency in the system. COP(Coefficient of Performance), ice making time and electric energy consumption are evaluated and compared with the conventional system. Results shows that COP is improved with more efficient use of time for ice making and electric consumption. Therefore, this can offer an opportunity for more efficient use of energy and higher productivity in ice making.

In the present study, the possibility of continuous slurry ice making using flowing water solution in a cooled tube has been investigated. The experiments were carried out at various concentration and velocity of water solution, temperature of cooled tube wall, and control pressure in a tube. As a result, four types of operating conditions, that is super-cooling, continuous ice making, intermittent ice making and ice blockage, were classified. And it was found that the critical condition for the continuous ice making was acquired as a function of these experimental parameters.

Ice accumulating system patterned ice-an-coil is the way of refrigerating regenerative materials on the surface of copper-tube inserted into the inside of ice-storage. The study experimented to understand ice-an-coil type ice making characteristics according to changing shape of ice making tube. The experiment were carried out under various conditions, that used brine temperature($-l0^{\circ}C$, $-6^{\circ}C$) brine flow rate(l.0m/s, 1.8m/s) and inlet water temperature($6^{\circ}C$, $12^{\circ}C$) etc. Mass of ice per making area increased according to the decrease of the brine temperature and inlet water temperature, but that was increased according to the increase of the brine flow rate. And I set up two hypotheses and compared the capacity of ice-making of the two cases; each had the same thermal area and one had an round-shaped copper tube but the other had an oval-shaped copper tube.

In the process of ice-slurry making, the phenomenon of ice adhesion influences extremely to ice making system. In this study, the effect on the ice adhesion by thermal storage material with additives is investigated quantitatively. Various solutions of 300 g in a stainless vessel were frozen under stirring. Through the experiment the ice adhesion between cooling wall and ice-slurry was compared with each other by measuring the stirring power. From the experiment, the stirring power in EG, SCA solution was smaller than those in the solution containing functional materials, such as poly-vinyl-alcohol or kitchen detergent.
