Abstract
During the last few years different research groups have been developing systems for transformation of abrasive water jet into ice jet, where the use of mineral abrasive is replaced with ice particles. This can be achieved in several different ways. Ice particles are generated in situ during the cutting process and transported into the cutting head. Both prototypes are using the high pressure water that is pre cooled below its freezing point prior entering the cutting head. The ice particles can be used for water jet applications such as cleaning, degreasing and cutting. The concept is based on the convective heat transfer between acold cryogenic gas and atomized water droplets. Ice particles are formed inside the system by transferring latent heat of water droplets to liquid nitrogen.
