Which risk increases when ice slurry transitions to liquid in district cooling pipes?

💡 Explanation

Flow distribution imbalance increases due to changing viscosity because the liquid phase has lower resistance, affecting pressure-flow characteristics, affecting cavitation rather than efficiency; the slurry preferentially flows avoiding some pipes. Therefore, the imbalance is the greatest risk rather than corrosion which would occur anyway.
