Abstract
Disclosed are a cooling and heating medium for an ice-storage system, which comprises a mixture of a water-insoluble antifreezing solution and water, and an ice-storage system which comprises using a mixture of a water-insoluble antifreezing solution and water as a cooling and heating medium, cooling the cooling and heating medium to obtain a mixture of the water-insoluble antifreezing solution and ice particles and circulating the mixture to convey latent heat.
Claims13
A cooling an heating medium having a sherbet-like ice form for circulation in an ice-storage system, prepared by a process comprising icing and cooling a cooling and heating medium while circulating in an ice storage system, wherein said cooling and heating medium comprises 100 parts by weight of a silicone oil having a viscosity of 10 to 200 cst at room temperature, 25 to 150 parts by weight of water, and 0.01 to 20 parts by weight of a surfactant based on parts by weight of the silicone oil;
- said medium having a sherbet-like ice form and having fluidity during circulation.
A cooling and heating med having a sherbet-like ice form for circulation in an ice-storge system, prepared by a process comprising icing and cooling a cooling and heating medium while circulating in an ice storage system, wherein said cooling and heating medium consists essentially of 100 parts by weight of a silicone oil having a viscosity of 10 to 200 cst at room temperature, 25 to 150 parts by weight of water, and 0.01 to 20 parts by weight of a surfactant based on parts by weight of the silicone oil;
- said medium having a sherbet-like ice form comprising ice particles covered by the silicone oil, said ice particles have fluidity during circulation which is obtained by icing the cooling and heating medium while circulating in an ice storage system.
