H-44 Development of the eutectic-point thermal storage system using supercooling : Part2: Properties of supercooled urea-water mixture in a state of flow - I

Abstract

An ice-making device using concentrated eutectic supercooled urea-water mixture capable of thermal storage at low temperatures has being developed. This report confirms that it is possible to make an ice using supercooled urea-water mixture in a state of flow It was shown that if crystals in the water tank are melted to prevent them from accumulating there, stable operation with supercooling of 2.0 degrees or more is possible. The problem of melting of crystal-nucleus was also raised.
