In ice thermal storage, when water is used as a latent heat storage agent, the melting temperature is fixed at 0°C, so it is difficult to use it as a cold heat source for ice temperature or partial freezing. When the temperature progresses to a certain extent, ice will adhere to the surface of the refrigerant pipe, and since ice has poor thermal conductivity,
The disadvantage is that ice making efficiency is poor. On the other hand, there are systems that make ice by slurrying an aqueous solution such as ethylene glycol, but in this case, as ice making progresses, the freezing temperature continuously decreases (therefore, the amount of heat that can be used at a given temperature is extremely small, Another disadvantage is that the total amount of latent heat itself is small.

In heat storage systems or cold storage materials that utilize the latent heat of water, it has traditionally been used as a safe food additive as a means of extracting latent heat at a constant temperature below O'C, especially when applied to the food industry. Among those whose properties have been confirmed, chlorides such as common salt, ammonium chloride, and potassium chloride, and propylene glycol have been used.

When using these freezing point depressants, in order to extract as much heat as possible at a constant temperature, it is effective to have a composition that has a so-called eutectic point, but the above chlorides all have a eutectic point of 110°C. It is not suitable for heat storage systems or cold insulation materials in the so-called freezing temperature region or partial freezing region.

In addition, the eutectic temperature of potassium nitrate is -3.5°C,
