Research progress of mobile cold storage using ice slurry
Abstract. The demand for cooling, such as that of products, spaces, and processes, has increased with the development of urbanization. Cold storage can shift the valley time of electric power to cold energy. Compared to the fixed cold storage routine, mobile cold storage can eliminate site limitations. Ice slurry, as a new functional fluid, has

Freezing has been widely recognized as the most common process for long-term preservation of perishable foods; however, unavoidable damages associated with ice crystal formation lead to unacceptable quality losses during storage. As an alternative, supercooling preservation has a great potential to extend the shelf-life and maintain
State/Phase Transitions, Ice Recrystallization, and Quality
During frozen storage, the amount of ice in a system remains constant, while the number of ice crystals decreases and the average ice crystal size increases. Due to surface energy between ice and the unfrozen matrix, as well as the need for a nucleus to grow, there is a trend toward reduced surface area whether the temperature fluctuates or
Regulating ice formation for enhancing frozen food quality:
The free energy (G) is varying with the increasing interface free energy (Δ G s) and decreasing bulk-free energy (Δ G V), as given by eqn (1): (1) Δ G H o m o = Δ G S + Δ G V = 4 π r 2 γ − 4 π r 3 3 ρ c Δ μ where γ is the water/ice interface tension, ρ c is theΔ μ
