Abstract
The system of ice-making by spraying water in winter and utilizing the ice in summer is pollution-free and economizes the first investment, operating cost, and reduces the peak of electric power in summer. Through establishing the energy equilibrium equation of sprayed water drop, the relation between the diameter of water droplet and the time of icing at different ambient temperature and coefficient of performance of the system of ice-making by spraying water has been obtained. The errors between the numerical solution and the experimental data lie in a range of 7% to 10%, indicating that the model is reasonable. The method of the ice making is promising in the exercisable region to substitute the mechanical refrigeration system.
