METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING PHASE CHANGE ICE PARTICULATE PERFLUOROCARBON SLURRIES

摘要

A phase change ice particulate perfluorocarbon slurry and a method and apparatus (100) are provided for producing phase change particulate perfluorocarbon flurries. A known amount of perfluorocarbon liquid is provided (202). A set percentage of a phase change liquid and optionally other additives, such as oxygen or other cell protectants are added to the known amount of perfluoucarbon liquid (204). The phase change liquid and the perfluorocarbon liquid are mixed to produce an emulsion of small droplets of the phase change liquid in the perfluorocarbon liquid (206). The emulsion is cooled to produce the phase change paniculate slurry (208). A phase change ice particulate perfluorocarbon slurry comprises a known amount of perfluorocarbon liquid ( 104) and a set percentage of a phase change liquid (106) added to the known amount of perfluorocarbon liquid. An emulsion (108) is formed by the set percentage a phase change liquid and the known amount of perfluorocarbon liquid. The phase change particulate perfluorocarbon slurry is formed by cooling the emulsion to a freezing point
