And the side wall of the cylinder 10 is provided with a secondary refrigerant inlet 11 and a secondary refrigerant outlet 12 which are communicated with the chamber. The first fixing plate 21 is provided with a first through hole, and the second fixing plate 22 is provided with a second through hole corresponding to the first through hole. The heat exchange tube 30 is disposed inside the cylinder 10, one end of the heat exchange tube 30 is installed in the first through hole, and the other end of the heat exchange tube 30 is installed in the second through hole. The first sealing head 41 is arranged at one end of the cylinder 10 close to the first fixing plate. The cylinder 10 is close to one end side wall of the first fixing plate or the first seal head 41 is provided with a first inlet used for communicating the water inlet pipe 51, and the first seal head 41 or the cylinder 10 is close to one end side wall of the first fixing plate is also provided with a second inlet used for communicating the compressed air pipe 52.
In the ice slurry generating heat exchange device, cold water with the temperature of 1-3 ℃ in the water inlet pipe 51 enters the barrel 10 through the first inlet and then enters the heat exchange pipe 30, meanwhile, secondary refrigerant with the temperature of-4-8 ℃ enters the chamber through the secondary refrigerant inlet 11, and the secondary refrigerant contacts the outer side wall of the heat exchange pipe 30 to reduce the temperature of the heat exchange pipe 30. Therefore, cold water in the heat exchange tube 30 gradually releases heat and condenses after contacting the inner side wall of the heat exchange tube 30, and water is formed into ice crystals on the inner surface of the heat exchange tube 30 to cover the inner side wall of the heat exchange tube 30. Compressed air in the compressed air pipe 52 is introduced into the barrel 10 through the second inlet and then enters the heat exchange pipe 30, the phenomena of vortex and cavity are formed on the inner side wall surface of the heat exchange pipe 30, ice particles formed on the inner side wall surface of the heat exchange pipe 30 are torn, the formation of an ice layer is avoided, heat transfer resistance is increased, the formation of the ice layer is avoided from blocking the inner wall of the heat exchange pipe 30, and the heat exchange efficiency is improved; on the other hand, after cold water is changed into supercooled water, air exists in the form of bubbles in the water flow, the supercooled water is promoted to be changed into ice crystal nuclei, and then the supercooled water enters an ice slurry collector along with an ice-water mixture.
It is understood that the first inlet and the second inlet may be the same inlet on the side wall of the first sealing head 41 or the cylinder 10 near one end of the first fixing plate.

Thus, the compressed air in the compressed air pipe 52 enters the pre-cooling coil 62 and then enters the air outlet pipe 61. Since the pre-cooling coil 62 is in contact with the cold water of 1 to 3 ℃ entering the cylinder 10, the temperature of the compressed air is reduced accordingly, which is beneficial to the generation of ice slurry.
