A new technique using a paraffin slurry in a convective heat transfer was developed recently. The objective of the present study is to apply the developed technique to a district cooling. It needs high thermal capacity and low pressure drop. So far, we were concentrating on the second requirement; the low pressure drop. In order to have it we studied Non-Newtonian flow, espicially shear-thinning fluid. From now on, we can concentrate on the first requirement; the high thermal capacity. Small particles of paraffin were scattered in the carrier fulid, water. When they were melted on the heating test section, a high effective heat capacity can be expected from the fluid.
