aakbar,
Check download, see page 90 gives some indication of producing more ice with colder water.

Thanks mate! Very helpful. It seems going from 90F from 50F seems to increase capacity in the ~15-20%. Nothing to sneeze at.

AAkbar,
Those figures are from a tube ice machine so not entirely accurate for your block ice, but an indication it does something. Tube ice cycle around 8-20 minutes depending on set up.
What temperature is the brine used for freezing ice?
How cold is the ice when removed from mould.?
