    The document summarizes the design of an ice plant with a capacity of 25 tons of ice (TOI). It determines that the plant will require approximately 41 tons of refrigeration (TR). It specifies the dimensions of the ice cans as 11x22x44 inches holding 300 pounds of ice each. The freezing time is calculated to be around 50 hours. This determines that 350 ice cans will be needed. The volume of the freezing tank is calculated to be around 4615 cubic feet. Finally, it specifies the dimensions of the freezing tank as 373x363x30 inches based on the number of ice cans.

    ICE PLANT DESIGN

    Capacity of plant = 25 Tons of ice (TOI)


    Tons of Refrigeration Approximation

    TR≤ TOI
    0.61
    TR≤ 25
    0.61

    TR≤ 40.98

    Size of Can
    From Kent’s Mechanical Engineers’ Handbook, p11-50:

    Size of can = 11 x 22 x 44 in

    Weight of Ice block


    From Kent’s Mechanical Engineers’ Handbook, p11-50, Table 1:

    For 11 x 22 x 44 in. ice can:

    W = 300 lb.

    Temperature of Brine
    From Kent’s Mechanical Engineers’ Handbook, p11-50, Table 1:

    For 11 x 22 x 44 in. ice can:

    T = 15 ºF

    Time of freezing
    From Kent’s Mechanical Engineers’ Handbook, p11-50:

    Time of freezing may be calculated using the following formula:

    H = 7a²
    32-t

    Where:

    H = time of freezing, hr.

    a = thickness of cake, in.


    t = temperature of brine

    H = 7(11) ²
    32-15

    H = 49.82 hours ≈ 50 hours

    Number of Cans Required


    From Kent’s Mechanical Engineers’ Handbook, p11-50:

    the number of cans may be computed using the formula:

    N = wH
    24C

    where:

    N = no. of cans

    W= weight of ice, lb.

    H = freezing time, hr.

    C = weight of one ice block, lb.

    N = (25 x 2000) (50)


    24(300)

    N = 347.2 CANS ≈ 350 CANS

    Volume of Freezing Tank


    From Kent’s Mechanical Engineers’ Handbook, p11-50:

    VFT = VICE + VBRINE

    Where:

    VFT = volume of freezing tank

    Vice = volume of ice

    Vbrine = volume of brine


    Vice = 11 x 22 x 44 in.

    Vice = 10,648 FT3 x 350 block


    Block (12)3
    Vice = 2156.713 FT3

    VBRINE = 60 FT3 per TR x 40.98 TR

    VBRINE = 2458.8 FT3

    VFT = 2458.8 FT3 + 2156.13 FT3

    VFT = 4615.513 FT3

    Size of Freezing Tank


    Based from ice plant and cold storage design kupdf.net

    For one freezing tank of 350 cans:

    CsL Ci
    For agitator
    Csw

    Width of the tank


    Ci
    25 x 14 CANS

    Length of the tank

    Clearance: Ice can orientation:


    CsL = 13” Ci = 3”
    L = 11’

    Csw = 8”
    W = 22’

    Ci = 3”
    25 x 14 CANS
    Length of the Tank:

    L = 2CSL + NCLt + Ci(NCL – 1)

    Where:

    CSL = wall clearance ( length)

    CSL = 13 ‘( includes additional 18” for brine agitator space )

    t = thickness of cake

    NCL = number of can in a side

    Ci = ice can spacing

    L = 2 (13) + 25(11) + 3(50 – 1)

    L = 373 in.

    Width of the Tank:

    W = 2 CSW + NCWW + Ci(NCW – 1)

    Where:

    CSw = wall clearance ( width)

    CSw = 8”

    W = width of cake

    Ncw = number of can in a side

    Ci = ice can spacing

    W = 2(8) + 14(22) + 3(14-1)

    W = 363 in.

    Height of the Tank:

    VFT = 2 (L X W X H)

    H = 4615.513 (12)3 in3


    2(373 in) (363 in)

    H = 29 .45 in. ≈ 30 in.

    Dimension of the Freezing Tank:

    Size = 373 x 363 x 30 inches.


    Cooling Load Calculation
    Heat Rejected from Water

    Raw water is at 77 ºF

    QICE = mCpwΔtw + mhfi + mCpiΔti

    = QICE = 300 lb (1Btu/lb-ºF) (77-22)ºF + 300 lb (144 Btu/lb)

    + 300 lb (0.5 Btu/lb-ºF) (32-15)ºF

    QICE = 1185 Btu/hr per block (50 hours)

    QICE = 1185 Btu x 350 blocks x 24 hrs x 1.055KJ x 1hr x 1 TR


    hr-block 50 hrs 1 Btu 3600s 3.516 KW

    QICE = 16.59 TR
