Abstract
Advanced clathrate hydrate slurry (CHS) has been developed using tetra-n-butyl-ammonium bromide by NKK. The CHS has latent heat over the temperature range of 5〜12℃ which are the common temperature range for the conventional water-cooling air-conditioning system. The CHS has advantages as a cold transportaion medium compared with water due to a greater cooling capacity. The characteristics of the CHS obtained by a series of experiments, operation results of a CHS system under an actual cooling load, and results of feasibility study are reported in this paper.
