A blat cabinet (10) for ice an article, the cabinet comprising a housing (11) having an interior support (19) for supporting the article. At least one ice blast nozzle (80) is disposed inside the housing and operable to direct a high speed stream of articulated mount (82) wherein the nozzle can be articulated. An energy management system (30, 130) comprising a heating system is provided to facilitate the removal of spent ice particles, and prevent ice accumulation in the enclosure. In an embodiment of the blast cabimet, the energy management system (130) includes a piping assembly (36) a heat exchanger (37) both disposed in the housing. Relatively warm heat exchanger fluid is circulated through the piping assembly and heat exchanger, then the cooled fluid is circulated through an external compressor (51), providing cooling to the compressor and reheating the heat exchanger fluid prior to recirculation through the piping assembly.
