Energy use of icemaking in domestic refrigerators.

Summary

The procedure assumed that 500 grams of ice would be produced daily. Using the new test procedure and the existing Department of Energy test (as a benchmark), four refrigerators equipped with automatic icemakers were tested for ice-making energy use. With the revised test, gross electricity consumption increased about 10% (100 kWh/yr) due to automatic icemaking but about 5% (55 kWh/yr) could be attributed to the special features of the automatic icemaker.
