My first try at sending some of this file info failed due to size
I will work on it to make it fit
This is data on can sizes, design of tanks, and misc freezing requirements for block design.
I wil keep trying

Iceman I have both the York and Frick info but this is even different then those , it is a 1919 guide book

Dear BruceBoldy,

If you can load those fiels thru Megaupload or similar site, all can see what it is.

Bruceboldy, I'm interested too, Megaupload is the way to go.

Peter, Allways remember that you can not "overinsulate". Dont be shy....100mm urethane or 150mm styrene will provide good hold but your refrigeration power is far more important. If you can install 200mm styrene then do it....the slower the heat gain/loss the better....Ice plant design really depends a lot on what sort of ice you want to produce.....Drink quality? or chilling concrete (no joke)......but a flooded system will always work well

BOY.....Ice making is easy......simply the more refrigeration power you have the more ice you will make in less time...e.g. if a 100kw machine makes 3 ton/24hr a 200kw machine will make 6 ton in 24 hr or 3 ton in 12 hr....

Is this anyhow the proper thread and meant for me?
