Abstract
Ice slurry is well known as a biphasic secondary refrigerant that presents several potential advantages compared to single phase secondary refrigerants. These potential advantages can be summarized in the ability to use the thermal storage and the high cooling capacity given by the latent
heat. Theoretically, these features should allow important energy savings in secondary refrigerant distribution loop. However, an accurate evaluation of these energy savings requires the knowledge of the thermal and rheological performance of the refrigerant studied. Based on the experimental model developed by the authors for brine based ice slurry, a theoretical analysis of heat exchangers performance is presented in this work in order to calculate the potential
energy savings associated to its use. The influence of ice concentration, mass flow rate, heat exchanger length and cooled fluid temperature over pumping power and heat transfer rate is studied. The ratio
between heat transfer rate and ...
