Presentation of Data

This eco-solution is practical for the SME as the drinks benefits the business in terms of operating cost and
in the stall is already chilled at a consistent temperature efficiency. Table 3 and Figure 7 show the data on the
and ice cube production is an additional cost to the reduction in utility consumption. The electricity and
operation. Therefore, reducing the ice cubes used water readings were recorded for the two trial phases
(see Figure 6).
