An experimental study on the important parameters during the crystallization process of ice slurry has been carried out and reported in the paper.The ice slurry is produced from sodium chloride solution using a scraper. It has been found that the liquid's temperature experiences four stages during the crystallization process. This variation trend keeps accordance with literatures' results, which verifies the responsibility of the test. It has also been investigated that the concentrations of sodium chloride solution have effects on several freezing properties of the ice slurry generation. In addition, a mathematical correlation between the latent heat and concentration has been developed eventually by polynomial fit. The error between the fitting curves and original experimental data is less than 10%. Overall the correlations and curves obtained in this paper can be used to predict the freezing point and the solidification time practically. It is of great significance that the concentration of brine water used for making ice can be estimated and controlled to meet the cooling capacity requirement.Read More
