Abstract
This paper presents an experimental study dealing with the continuous production characteristics of liquid ice by use of a fluidized bed. Ethylene-glycol aqueous solution was cooled by a vertical circular cylinder immersed in a primary air-liquid two phase fluidized bed. Experiments were carried out for a variety of conditions of initial concentration of solution, cooled-wall temperature, and airflow rate for fluidization in order to determine the production performances of the liquid ice. It was observed that a frozen layer which formed along the vertical circular cylinder might be separated from the cooled surface owing to the fluidization motion to be the liquid ice. An operation range for continuous production of liquid ice was identified.
