Abstract

Compared with classical secondary refrigerant loops that continuously supply cold energy, ice-slurry systems rely on the use of storage tanks designed to store and supply the cold energy on demand; thus cutting off cooling peak demands. To reliably operate an ice-slurry cooling system, it is very important to know the ice-loading fraction within the ice-slurry storage tank and in the slurry transmission piping. In this paper we compare two ways to measure the local ice fraction inside the storage tank. The first method is based on a direct measure of the ice-slurry temperature, and the second one applies the differential scanning calorimetry technique.
