- Abstract
- At the request of the United States Army Natick Laboratories, the Center for Building Technology tested four commercial ice making machines for their ice-making process efficiency and for the latent heat of fusion, clarity, and purity of the ice which they produced. This was done to provide quality estimation guidelines for field testing of these units and to indicate the ranges of ice quality and machine efficiency that could be expected.
