A Review on Formation Enhancement of CO2 Hydrate Slurry in Cool Storage Application

EasyChair Preprint 1574

Abstract

CO2 hydrate slurry, a kind of two-phase fluid, is made of CO2 hydrate particles suspended in liquid water. It is considered as a good candidate in cool storage or secondary refrigerant due to its high latent heat for phase change. In this paper, the state of art of CO2 hydrate slurry research is reviewed, the main focuses include its characteristics of the formation dynamics, and its characteristics of flow and heat transfer. Meanwhile, a novel apparatus is introduced to continuously produce CO2 hydrate slurry for cool storage application. Challenges in the technology are discussed and measures of promoting the application of CO2 hydrate slurry in cool storage are suggested.

Keyphrases: CO2 hydrate, cool storage, flow and heat transfer properties, formation enhancement, secondary refrigerant
