50 MW-th Underground Mine Ice Slurry Cooling Model
Underwrite surface ammonia/CO2 ice-maker plants pumping 40% pumpable ice slurries down 3,000m vertical mine shafts (utilizing the latent heat of fusion of melting ice to cool 60°C virgin rock walls with 75% less water volume than chilled water). Model deep mine cooling service contracts ($0.038/kWh-thermal), and 20-yr IRR.
