Ice Machine
An icemaker, ice generator, or ice machine may refer to either a consumer device for making ice, found inside a home freezer; a stand-alone appliance for making ice, or an industrial machine for making ice on a large scale. The term "ice machine" usually refers to the stand-alone appliance. The ''ice generator'' is the part of the ice machine that actually produces the ice. This would include the evaporator and any associated drives/controls/subframe that are directly involved with making and ejecting the ice into storage. When most people refer to an ice generator, they mean this ice-making subsystem alone, minus refrigeration. An ''ice machine'', however, particularly if described as 'packaged', would typically be a complete machine including refrigeration, controls, and dispenser, requiring only connection to power and water supplies. The term ''icemaker'' is more ambiguous, with some manufacturers describing their packaged ice machine as an icemaker, while others describe ...

Kilogram-force
The kilogram-force (kgf or kgF), or kilopond (kp, from ), is a non-standard Gravitational metric system, gravitational metric unit of force. It is not accepted for use with the International System of Units (SI) and is deprecated for most uses. The kilogram-force is equal to the magnitude of the force exerted on one kilogram of mass in a gravitational field (standard gravity, a conventional value approximating the average magnitude of gravity on Earth). That is, it is the weight of a kilogram under standard gravity. One kilogram-force is defined as .NIST]''Guide for the Use of the International System of Units (SI)''Special Publication 811, (1995) page 51 Similarly, a gram-force is , and a milligram-force is . History The gram-force and kilogram-force were never well-defined units until the CGPM adopted a ''standard acceleration of gravity'' of 9.80665 m/s2 for this purpose in 1901, though they had been used in low-precision measurements of force before that time.
