Abstract:
Today, ice is frequently used for home as well as commercial purposes, including chilling and preserving food and serving drinks, among other things. In the current study, mathematical models and practical research have been used to examine a mini-ice machine system for making cube ice that uses natural refrigerant (R290). Due to environmental concerns, the development of natural refrigerant applications has surged recently. The most recent experiment was carried out utilizing R-290, a mini-ice maker that can crank out 50 cubes of ice every cycle. The outcome showed that the ice maker’s efficiency was around 2.77 for five cycles and three repeats. As a result, this study also includes images of ice-related items. It is clear that when the number of ice production cycles increases, the quality of ice products also improves. The fifth production cycle produced the finest outcomes. The investigation’s anticipated findings make it possible to widespread use of natural refrigerants, parti
cularly for ice makers.
