4486 (RP-1166) -- Measuring Principles for the Determination of Ice Concentration in Ice Slurry PDF

Ice slurry has several advantages compared to traditional secondary refrigerants due to its two-phase character, i.e., liquid and solid (ice particle) mixture .The knowledge of the ice concentration and, hence, the cooling capacity of an ice slurry is of great importance to the operation of ice slurry systems. Various physical properties of ice slurry can be used to determine the ice concentration. These physical properties are described here, as well as the measuring principles based on them. Each measuring principle is evaluated as to its accuracy, applicability, availability, and price. A table comparing all measuring principles concludes this paper.
