In the ice maker which comprised 30, 상기 기계실(10)에 설치된 응축기(12)의 응축가스 배출측 가스라인에 응축가스의 온도를 감지하는 온도센서(14)를 설치하여 응축된 냉매의 온도가 섭씨 35℃이상이 되면, 응축팬(13)을 구동시켜 응축열을 배출하고 냉매의 온도가 섭씨 35℃이하가 되면 응축팬(13)을 정지시켜서, 냉동사이클을 수행하며 폐순환하는 냉매의 온도가 항상 일정한 범위의 온도를 유지하도록 하고, 제빙된 얼음이 제빙틀(31)로 부터 탈빙이 될 때 펌프(40)를 1~2회 가동하여 분사노즐(37)로부터 물을 분사하여 제빙틀(31)에 충격을 가하여서 제빙틀(31)에서 탈빙되지 않고 있는 얼음을 탈빙하도록 하며, 상기 제빙실(30)의 저수조(38)에 살균램프(100)를 설치하여 구성함으로써 제빙기의 제빙실에 제빙수를 저장하는 저수조의 내부에 살균램프를 장착하여 제빙수에 서식하는 세균을 살균함으로써 보다 깨끗하고 위생적인 얼음을 제빙하도록 하 여 국민건강을 향상하도록 함에 그 목적이 있다. When the temperature of the condensed refrigerant reaches 35 degrees Celsius or more by installing a temperature sensor 14 to detect the temperature of the condensation gas in the gas line of the condensation gas discharge side of the condenser 12 installed in the machine room 10, the condensation fan ( 13) to discharge the condensation heat and to stop the condensation fan 13 when the temperature of the refrigerant is less than 35 ℃ Celsius, to ...

Device and method for cooling drinks

Device for cooling drinks with a drink supply container (30a, 30b) for a water-comprising drink, a cooling medium supply container (22) for holding at least one cooling medium, - dosing means adapted to dose a quantity of drink and a quantity of cooling medium required for cooling the dosed quantity of drink, a mixing chamber (36) for successively collecting a quantity of drink and a quantity of cooling medium respectively dosed by the dosing means, and - at least one stirring element (39), which stirring element is positioned relative to the mixing chamber (36) such that the stirring (39) element is adapted to generate a vortex in the drink present in the mixing chamber, wherein the stirring element (39) is also adapted to mix together drink present in the mixing chamber (36) and cooling medium present in the mixing chamber (36), wherein the cooling medium in the mixing chamber (36) undergoes a phase change to the gaseous state and/or an adiabatic expansion while cooling the drink.

Ice Bins, Ice Makers, and Methods for Cleaning Ice Bins and Ice Makers

An ice maker includes an ozone generator that has a housing having an air inlet and an air outlet functionally connected to the air inlet for allowing air to flow through the housing. The ozone generator further includes an ozone generating device in the housing. The air outlet is functionally connected to a thermally insulated interior of the ice bin for feeding air containing ozone from ozone generator to the thermally insulated interior, and the air inlet of the ozone generator is functionally connected to the thermally insulated interior of the ice bin for receiving air from the thermally insulated interior. Ice bins and methods for cleaning an ice bin and an ice maker are also described.
