ABSTRACT .
The ice-maker freezer) was designed, constructed and tested. The ice-making machine
is to freeze 27kg of water in 9 diflerent comparlments in 12 hrs. The quantity of heat lo
be rmoved in order to achieve peezing is 12556.89 and this is used to determine
the refiigeration tonnage of the machine (0.124 ton).' Polyurethane and Galvanized
steel sheets have been selected for insulation and cabinet materials respectively due to
their low thermal conductivities and high 'corrosion resistant properties. The
performartee tests show that the ice-maker is capble ofproducing 9 ice cubes (1 0 cm x
I0 cm x 30 cm) in 12 hrs; while the economic analysis indicate that the project is
economically viable. The cost of the ice-maker is N 51,650.00 and the inveshnent
payback is estimated to be 74 days with regular supply of electricity.
