The saving of resources, energy and the use of natural refrigerants in refrigeration systems is one of the basic vectors of the innovative development of our country. One of the promising ways to solve these problems is the use of vacuum-evaporation ice generator with using an ice slurry storage system, together with energy-saving technologies using renewable energy sources. The article describes the principle of ice production in the vacuum-evaporation ice generator. The advantages and disadvantages of the methods of obtaining ice in vapor-compression refrigeration systems and vacuum evaporative plants are considered. A comparison is made between the consumption of electricity by vapor-compression refrigeration and vacuum ice makers in the production of ice, and heat pumps using air and seawater as a source of heat. Energy-efficient plants using vacuum-evaporative ice generators in cold storage systems are considered; in combined cooling and heating systems; with a heat pump.
