Abstract
This study is focused on a W/O type emulsion with 70 % water contents for ice slurry formation of ice storage system. The emulsion was made from an oil-water mixture with a little amino group modified silicone oil additive. Ice slurry could be formed by cooling the emulsion without ice adhesion to a cooling wall because of the emulsion's structural feature. However, it was found that propagation of supercooling dissolution of the emulsion hardly occurred. In this study, the AC voltage was applied to the emulsion to promote propagation of its supercooling dissolution without ice nucleus charging. And then, influences of the magnitudes of applied AC voltage and frequency on the propagation rate of supercooling dissolution were clarified.
