A new kind of emulsion was prepared as a cold storage material for ice slurry using high-speed stirring and an ultra-sonication bath. Liquid paraffin and a compound of sodium oleate and cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) were chosen as the oil phase and emulsifier

respectively. The experimental results for the electrical conductivity indicate that the emulsion is oil/wate (O/W) type. The D50 diameter of the emulsion is approximately 1.56 μm and its maximum diameter is 4.47 μm. Further

the use of ethyl alcohol and butyl alcohol is effective for preventing ice adhesion to the breaker wall with polymethylpentene (PMP)

glass

and stainless steel. Early after supercooling dissolution

the highest and lowest ice formation rates occur in the stainless steel breaker and the PMP breaker

respectively. At the same time point after supercooling dissolution

the ice packing factor (IPF) of the system with added ethyl alcohol is higher than that having added butyl alcohol. The difference between the IPFs obtained by adding ethyl alcohol and butyl alcohol is reduced with increased ice formation time. The ice has a granular morphology and disperses well. The IPF is in the 55%-65% range at 3 hours after supercooling dissolution.
