This study examines the energy consumption of automatic ice makers
installed in domestic refrigerators. This study builds upon the
findings of a previous study and examines two refrigerator-freezers
of different configurations, one French-door units with bottom
freezers and one bottom mount unit that uses a twist tray mechanism
to free frozen ice from the icemaker. Ice maker energy consumption
is difficult to measure because they operate on a periodic cycle
which is independent of the compressor cycle used to maintain the
cold temperatures in the domestic refrigerator where it is
installed; therefore methods proposed prior to this study have been
subject to significant truncation error due to partial ice maker or
compressor cycling. The purpose of this study is to define a method
of measuring the energy consumption of automatic ice makers that
will generate a repeatable and reproducible result. Several sets of
test data from these units were analyzed and used to decipher the
energy consumption of automatic ice makers. Through this effort, we
developed a method of test to characterize ice maker energy
consumption which circumvents the inherent problem with its
measurement, truncation error due to incomplete cycling. The
truncation error is avoided by measuring specific parameters with
different sections of data from the same data set. This method was
found to rapidly approach steady state values for the ice maker
energy consumption. We then analyzed data sets from a prior study
and found similar results for the stability of the ice making
energy consumption; that continuous data over only 6 or 7 ice
making cycles are typically sufficient to accurately characterize
the energy consumption.
