Progress and Innovations of Ice Slurry Generation Based on Scraped-surface Method

Abstract

In recent years, as a new type of ice storage medium, ice slurry has been widely applied in multiple fields. The scraped-surface method has remained the focus of researches, thanks to its advantages such as technical maturity, low cost and stable performance, etc. In this paper, the attributes of ice slurry was briefly introduced and then an analysis and comparison of several common ice slurry generation methods was presented with a summary of the advantages of the scraped-surface method. Then, the current research status of scraping-type ice slurry generation method was introduced. In the final place, this paper would summarizes the existing research fruition and propose a zigzag scraper, and future development and trend are looked forward to.
