Experimental results of a household automatic icemaker in a refrigerator-freezer.

Author(s) : HAIDER I., FENG H., RADERMACHER R.

Summary

The paper describes the performance test results of an automatic icemaker refrigerator under various modes of icemaker operation. The tests were conducted on a 0.566-m3 household refrigerator that had a single forced-convection evaporator and was charged with R12. The focus of the research was to ascertain the effect of icemaker operation on the refrigerator's daily energy consumption. In the first test type, the baseline, the automatic icemaker was turned off and no ice was made. In the second test type, the ice-making mode, the icemaker was turned on and ice was continuously made. In the third test type, the failure mode, the water supply was manually disconnected but the icemaker was left turned on. Detailed consumption results are given.
