Abstract:

Proposed is the development of a High Efficiency Mobile Ice Maker (HEMIM) for the Army that is capable of integrating DC power from solar PV cells. The proposed ice maker will include a variable capacity vapor compression system with variable air flow as per ambient temperatures. The Performance of the high efficiency cycle will be enhanced by the use of advanced variable speed drive and pulsating thermal expansion valve technologies. The intelligent control system will allow load tracking without the use of remote sensors and will have a self explanatory user interface. The High Efficient Mobile Ice Maker (HEMIM) product will operate at all relevant military supplied DC and AC voltages. The result will be a product that has more robust performance, smaller volume and lighter weight than competing technologies while attaining wide-ranging applicability.
