Waste-heat-powered icemaker for isolated fishing villages.

Author(s) : ERICKSON D. C.

Summary

A high-lift absorption refrigeration cycle called the "vapour exchange" cycle was applied to the problem of producing refrigeration from low-temperature waste heat. Diesel engine jacket cooling water at 75 deg C was used as the heat source to produce 10 tons per day of flake ice for a remote community. The icemaker has successfully operated for two fishing seasons at Kotzebue, Alaska.
