Abstract
In this paper, we describe (1) the characteristics of ice-water two-phase flow created in a supercooling-type ice storage system, (2) the numerical analysis models for both processes of ice storing and melting within ice storage tanks, and (3) the design technologies for ice storage systems based on such predictive models, as well as the operational performance of actual equipment built with these design technologies. As the result of this technological development, it has been confirmed that the predictive approaches for the one dimensional ice accumulation in the given tanks and ice melting with low temperature water enough to air conditioning applications are reasonable and widely usable. Furthermore by the design conditions obtained here it is possible to simplify the construction of ice storage tanks and to realize high reliability in the actual equipment.
