In the type of ice heat storage in which ice is grown and accumulated around the cooling coil in the heat storage tank, the heat storage state (heat storage amount, etc.) can be determined by detecting the thickness of the growing ice. In the type of ice heat storage that is stored in a mixed-phase sherbet state, it cannot be done, so conventionally, as with cold water heat storage, the heat storage state is determined based on the temperature detection of the stored refrigerant, or the volume accompanying cooling and solidification of the refrigerant The heat storage state has been determined by obtaining the abundance ratio of ice particles in the stored refrigerant based on the detection of the liquid level of the stored refrigerant using expansion (the literature cannot be shown).

However, since the so-called ice heat storage is originally to store heat by utilizing latent heat of solidification, the heat storage state cannot be accurately determined by the determination on sensible heat based on temperature detection, and the determination based on liquid level detection is not possible. However, since there are many disturbance factors such as ripples on the liquid level in the liquid level detection itself and the detection error is large, it is still difficult to determine the heat storage state stably and accurately.
