Preventing Agglomeration in Ice Slurries with Fluorocarbon Nano-material
There are many factors on the ice agglomeration, among which, the supercoolers surface appearance is an important one.In order to change the surface appearance,this paper introduces an improvement which uses a kind of fluorocarbon nano-material smeared on the supercoolers inner surface. This nano-material can decrease the surface free energy, which based on the previous study, the growth of ice crystals will be restrained, also, it is high hydrophobic, which can prevent the crystals from loading on the supercooler.With such efficacy, the possibility of ice agglomeration will be depressed enormously,and even more important, much higher degree of supercooling will be achieved with the coating of fluorocarbon.
