How It Works

ICEU060

Water System

Freezing Cycle

The refrigeration process creates cold temperatures within the evaporator coils and removes heat from the water sprayed up into the inverted ice cube cups. When enough heat is removed, the water changes into ice, and forms where it is the coldest: in the ice cube cups.

Minerals contained in the supply water will not freeze and are drained away. Mostly pure water will be frozen into the ice cubes.

During the freezing cycle, the compressor, fan motor, and water pump are operating. Water is continuously freezing or being sprayed and recirculated. When the evaporator temperature is lowered to the cold temperature setting of the cube size control, it ends the freezing cycle and starts the harvest cycle.

Harvest Cycle

The hot gas valve opens and hot refrigerant gas is discharged into the evaporator. The inlet opens and a fresh supply of water flows to the top of the evaporator and then drains into the reservoir.

The ice cubes have been released from the inverted cube cups in the evaporator by the warming effect of the hot refrigerant gas condensing in the evaporator tubing, plus the incoming water flowing around the inverted cups. The released ice cubes drop onto the spray platform and through the curtain assembly into the ice storage bin.

The cube size control thermostat senses the warmer temperatures of the harvest cycle, and at a preset temperature, opens the circuit to the hot gas and inlet water valves. Both valves then close.

The harvest cycle is complete, and the freezing cycle restarts.

The automatic ice making process continues until the bin is full of ice, and the bin thermostat senses a colder temperature.

The bin thermostat then opens the circuit to all components and the automatic ice making process stops.
