Abstract

This paper presents experimental works on the ultrasonic influence during melting of ice and paraffin and compared the paraffin's result with ice's results. The experiments was carried out under two setting conditions.: 1) Heater without ultrasonic vibration, 2) heater with ultrasonic vibration. Experimental observations show that the ultrasonic vibration enhances significantly the phase-change process (melting) so that the melting time is reduced about 16∼25% compared to those of molting process without ultrasonics in the melting of both ice and paraffin. But the influence of ultrasonics was not significant to affect the reduction of the power consumption. In the case of paraffin, the reduction rate of power consumption was about 20%, but the reduction of the power consumption was increased about 0∼12%.
