Predicting and evaluating the performance of ice-harvesting thermal energy storage systems.

Author(s) : KNEBEL D. E.

Summary

Field verification of the performance of these systems is difficult because direct methods of weighing the ice are impractical in all but the smallest systems. The paper discusses the operating characteristics of ice-harvesting equipment using heat-initiated defrost cycles, the process of ice-formation, a simplified model for predicting ice-making performance, and defrost energy requirements. The result of this analysis is the prediction of the net rated ice-making capacity of the system in the ice-making mode.
