This article examines the impact of different ice-slurry fractions on the cooling performance of an HVAC system. The findings reveal that increasing the ice percentage in the ice-slurry solution leads to a proportional enhancement in the system’s cooling capacity. This demonstrates the effectiveness of higher ice concentrations in improving cooling performance. This phenomenon could be particularly advantageous in designing cooling systems, enabling adjustments in ice concentration to optimize thermal efficiency based on specific requirements.
