For example, some water cooling devices are designed to freeze on the surface of a freezing tube in a heat storage tank and utilize the latent heat of the ice. In this case, it is necessary to control the thickness of ice that grows on the frozen surface, and conventionally, a detection device that uses the difference in electrical conductivity between water and ice has been used as a detection device for control. To do this, an electrode rod of a certain length is placed on the surface of the freezing tube, and the entire electrode rod is covered with ice, and the electricity between the electrode on the surface of the electrode rod and the freezing water is interrupted by the ice, and the ice is frozen. Ice is formed to a certain thickness by detecting the thickness and controlling the on/off of the refrigerant in the cooling pipe. However, once the detection end is installed in this way, changing the ice thickness setting during operation requires stopping the operation, replacing another electrode rod of a different size, and adjusting the ice thickness on-site. There was no other way but to go there and see it visually. In short, this is because there was no detection end that could always accurately follow the freezing and melting of ice on the surface of the freezing tube and output a signal.

The present invention has been developed in view of this point, and in a device that detects the thickness of ice based on the difference in electrical conductivity between ice and water, an electric current having an approximate characteristic of the thermal conductivity of ice is placed on the surface of the freezing tube. The ice formation thickness is determined by the output from each electrode at the detection end, which consists of an insulated rod with a thin electrical conductor wound in a double spiral around the main electrode, and a compensating electrode of the same shape and unit length at the tip. It is designed to perform calculations, settings, displays, and alarms.

That is, the detection end installed on the freezing tube surface (5) is an electrically insulating rod (1) whose thermal conductivity is similar to that of ice, and the frozen surface surrounding the insulating rod +11 is used in both cases of freezing and melting. There is no heat conduction from the ice to the water or from the water to the ice through this, and the environment on the frozen surface is not disturbed, so it is possible to always accurately follow freezing and melting. can. ■ Regarding the output of electrical signals in response to ice formation, a thin electrical conductor wire that serves as an electrode is spirally wound around the surface of the insulating rod (1), and even if it is a thin metal wire, its heat conduction is negligible compared to water and ice. However, since it is spirally wound around the insulating rod (1), the length of the thin metal wire becomes extremely long compared to the length of the insulating rod.In the end, the length of the insulating rod The heat conduction of the thin metal wire in the horizontal direction is apparently good, but it has an extremely small value, which does not disturb the environment of the frozen surface and has excellent followability.
If it is possible to output an accurate signal, it will be K0 ■ Regarding the proportionality of the output electric signal to the ice thickness Because it is wound into a shape, the area and distance of the opposing electrodes in the unit length insulating rod K are constant and do not change at any point on the main electrode (2) section with respect to the freezing water.
Therefore, it is clear that it is completely proportional to the ice thickness. ■The output signal is not affected by the quality of the freezing water. This is because the output of the compensating electrode (3) is used to compensate the output of the raw electrode (2). The conductivity of freezing water is affected by its temperature, impurities mixed in, etc., and is a function of these, so this is expressed as f(t-P), and the length of the compensation electrode is set as unit length U = 1. , the power supply voltage is E, then the current 1. 2f(t-1')E.

This means that the ice thickness can be detected with high accuracy without any problems. 0th order If icing control is not performed due to equipment malfunction, excessive icing may cause damage to the cold storage tank.
