22、 to Section 6 for water and air temperaturerequirements during test. More specific instruction is pro-vided in Section 7 for ice capacity determination sampling.Finally, Normative Annex A includes revisions for determina-tion of calorimeter constant and heat of fusion for ice prod-uct for continuous
23、-type ice makers.1. PURPOSEThis standard prescribes a method of testing automatic icemakers bya. specifying procedures to be used when testing automaticice makers,b. establishing the types of equipment to which the provi-sions of the standard apply,c. defining terms describing the equipment covered
24、andterms related to testing,d. specifying the type of instrumentation and test apparatusrequired in testing,e. specifying a uniform method for calculation of results, andf. specifying data and results to be recorded.2. SCOPEThis standard does not include automatic ice makers installedin household re
25、frigerators, combination refrigerator-freezers,and household freezers.3. DEFINITIONSautomatic ice maker: a factory-made assembly consisting ofa condensing unit and ice-making section operating as anintegrated unit, with means for making and harvesting ice. Itmay also include means for storing or dis
26、pensing ice, or both.The automatic ice maker may be composed of one or moresections for shipping purposes.batch-type ice maker: an ice maker having alternate freezingand harvesting periods. Also referred to as a cube-type icemaker.continuous-type ice maker: an ice maker that continuallyfreezes and h
27、arvests ice at the same time.dump water: water drainage from an ice maker to control theclarity of ice or to prevent scaling.pure ice: ice made by using water with less than 5 ppm of sol-ids concentration.4.

Temperature shall be measured with instru-ments of a type having the specified accuracies at the temper-atures of use.5.2.2 Accuracy
32、and readability each shall be within 0.56C(1.0F).5.2.3 Where accuracy greater than 0.56C (1.0F) is spec-ified, the instrument shall be calibrated by comparison with acertified standard in the range of use or shall itself be certifiedas to accuracy, and the resolution shall be at least equal to theac
33、curacy requirement unless otherwise specified.5.3 Electrical Instruments5.3.1 Accuracy and readability shall each be within 2.0%of the quantity measured.5.3.2 Input power shall be measured with an integratingwatt-hour meter graduated to 0.01 kWh.5.4 Water-Measuring Instruments5.4.1 Flow shall be mea
34、sured by one or more of the follow-ing methods and have accuracy and readability each of 2.0%of the quantity measured:a. Liquid quantity, measuring either weight or volumeb.

35、ransmission in either print or digital form is not permitted without ASHRAEs prior written permission.ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 29-2015 35.4.2 Harvest water shall be captured by a nonperforatedpan located below the perforated pan used to capture thebatch of ice, as described in Section 5.5.2, and measure
36、d asliquid quantity.5.5 Ice-Weighing Instruments5.5.1 Unless otherwise specified, ice made by the icemaker shall be weighed on an instrument having accuracy andreadability each of 1.0% of the quantity measured.5.5.2 The intercepted ice sample shall be obtained andweighed in one of the following cont
37、ainers of predeterminedweight:a. For a batch-type ice maker, use a container with perfora-tions through which the ice of the unit under test cannotfall and for which the water retention weight is no morethan 1.0% of that of the smallest batch of ice for which thecontainer is used. The water hold-up
38、weight is the maxi-mum weight of water and shall be measured as follows:1. Immerse the container in water with the same orienta-tion as when collecting ice.2. Gently lift the container out of the water and allow itto drain for 30 seconds without shaking it.3. Weigh the container and the held-up wate
39、r.4. Subtract the containers dry weight.b. For a continuous-type ice maker, use a solid surface metalor plastic pan or bucket.5.6 Water Pressure Instruments. Instruments used to mea-sure water pressure at the ice maker inlet shall have accuracyand readability each of 2.0% of the value measured.5.7 S
40、ampling Rate. The maximum interval between datasamples for pressure, temperature, flow rate, and voltage shallbe no more than 5 seconds.6. TEST METHODS6.1 The specified voltage shall be measured at the ice-makerservice connection, with the ice maker in operation, and shallnot vary more than 2.0% dur
41、ing the test.6.2 The temperature of the supply water within the conduitshall be measured within 203 mm (8 in.) of the ice-maker byinserting the temperature-measuring instrument directlywithin the water stream or within a well inserted into the con-duit. Water temperature shall be measured during the
42、 water-fill interval and shall be maintained within 0.56C (1F) ofthe specified temperature.6.3 The pressure of the supply water within the conduit shallbe measured within 203 mm (8 in.) of the ice-maker and shallremain within the specified range during the period of timethat water is flowing into th
43、e ice-maker inlet(s).6.4 For an air-cooled ice maker, ambient temperature shall bemeasured at a location geometrically centered to the inlet areaat a distance of 0.3 m (1 ft) from the air inlet. Where morethan one inlet is provided, ambient temperature shall be mea-sured geometrically centered to ea
44、ch inlet area at a distance of0.3 m (1 ft) in front of each inlet plane, and the average tem-perature shall be recorded.For water-cooled ice makers, ambient temperatures shallbe measured at two places 0.3 m (1 ft.) from the cabinet, cen-tered with respect to adjacent sides of the cabinet.During the
45、first 5 minutes of each freeze cycle, the aver-age ambient temperatures shall not vary more than 1.1C(2F) from the specified temperatures and not more than0.56C (1F) thereafter.6.5 The ice maker shall be tested with minimum clearancesof 0.9 m (3 ft) to adjacent test chamber walls or minimumclearance
