SEPARATION METHOD OF ICE AND ICE HEAT STORAGE DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To separate ice by generating bubbles from a surface of a wall surface with the ice generated thereon. SOLUTION: An ice generation wall surface 2 is installed on the inside surface of a storage tank 1 for storing a fluid. Brine is run to the outer surface 9 of the ice generation wall surface in order to generate ice on the inside surface 8 of the ice generation wall surface. The brine is cooled in a cooling tank 3, run through a cooling passage 6 via a feed pipe 5 by a pump 4 and returned to the cooling tank 3 again through a return pipe 7. The ice generation wall surface 2 is cooled by running the brine through the cooling passage 6 and ice is generated on the inside surface 8 of the ice generation wall surface. Bubbles are generated from the inside surface 8 of the ice generation wall surface by a bubble generator 10 to separate the ice generated on the inside surface 8 of the ice generation wall surface.
