Dynamic-type ice storage systems have been developed in the 1990's, and many kinds of system have been adopted as actual equipments in Japan. Many reports of research and development for making ice methods and ice making processes were published. However, reports for melting ice were few, although ice melting processes were important on design technology of ice storage systems and on ice slurry systems in future. In this paper, reviews of research and development for dynamic-type ice storage systems and for characteristics of melting ice in the dynamic-type ice thermal storage tank are presented. Moreover, prediction methods for ice melting processes in dynamic-type ice thermal storage tanks are introduced for design technologies of dynamic-type ice storage systems.
