Abstract

An ice storage is excellent in the cold thermal storage systems. We had been studying on a suspension made of an emulsion as a new thermal storage material. The emulsion was formed by an effect of static electricity generated by stirring an oil-water mixture. According to cooling of the emulsion with stirring, it changes into the suspension which was a slush ice. The purpose of this study is to prove formation of high IPF suspension without adhesion of ice to a cooling wall. In the previous report the result that an additive was necessary to make the suspension consist of dispersed granular ice was obtained. So the suitable additive was selected and was used in experiments. From the experimental results, it was clarified that formation of high IPF suspension without adhesion to a wall depended on a material of vessel. Besides, the formed suspension IPF was over 70%, and preservation of the suspension in a refrigerator for a long time was possible.
