Objective
The research work proposed in the project will aim at developing a low cost ice generating system, which will require low energy consumption for its running and which will be more reduced in size, thus more suited to the needs of small and medium sized f ishing vessels: The energy required for the system will be obtained by taking advantage of the heat off the engine via an absorption process. By using such a system it is possible to recover and reuse the thermal energy which is emitted into the atmosph ere to produce ice, thus avoiding the consumption of fuel. In order to generate ice, seawater which has been previously ozonised, will be used thus favouring the conservation of the fish. The ozone is generated on board via an electrochemical process. The system will generate liquid ice. Compared with other ice production systems, the machinery in this system will be of a reduced size and will have a lower product ion and installation cost. The ice will have a greater thermal transfer, will not har m or damage the skin of the fish, will be transportable via pipes, can be and stored in tanks. A prototype system will be built and validated in a real environment and tested out at sea in order to monitor and improve it performance.
