1. Scope 1.1
This Standard applies to factory-made automatic ice-makers with a capacity
between 23 and 1000 kg/d (measured at standard rating conditions). These
machines produce cube, flake, crushed, or fragmented ice in either a batch or
continuous process, as defined in Clause 2. They are electrically operated and
designed for a 60 Hz operating current with nominal nameplate voltage. This
Standard also applies to factory-made manual scoop-out ice storage bins. 1.2
This Standard provides definitions, performance, test procedures, and methods
for determining energy and water consumption and storage effectiveness, and
specifies maximum energy consumption and minimum storage effectiveness of
units. 1.3
This Standard applies to self-contained ice-makers that integrate the
ice-making mechanism and storage compartment in one cabinet and to split-system
ice-makers that have the ice-making mechanism and condensing unit in separate
sections. Condensers may be air- or water-cooled in either the integral or the
split-system type. Ice storage bins may be freestanding units or integral with
the ice-maker. 1.4
This Standard does not apply to ice-makers installed in household
refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, or freezers, nor to automatic
ice-dispensing machines or cold-plate drink dispensers. 1.5
The values given in SI (metric) units are the standard. The values given in
parentheses are for information only.
