Direct contact icemaker with chambered air cooling system

Номер: US20120222432A1

Автор: Lorraine J. Westlake, Luiz Antonio D. Lopes

Принадлежит: Whirlpool Corp

A refrigerator includes a direct contact ice making system in conjunction with a circulating liquid coolant. The ice making system includes a coolant loop and an air flow chamber on a portion of the loop. The air flow chamber includes channels formed by offset protrusions, which direct air back and forth over the portion of the cooling loop to cool ambient air within the ice making system. The cooled air is then directed by a fan and supply duct to an ice storage container to prevent ice cubes in the container from melting. Once the air has warmed in the container, it is directed by a return duct to the beginning of the air flow chamber to begin the process over once again, thus creating a recirculation of air within a refrigerator system to cool an ice storage container.

The preferred embodiment works by fitting a water jacket to the exterior surface of the refrigerant line. The water jacket is connected by flexible tube to a cold plate inside the refrigerator. Preferably a pump circulates fluid between the water jacket and the cold plate. As a result, the cold plate gets colder than the air inside the refrigerator and induces condensation on the cold plate. The condensation can be directed to flow by gravity down to the refrigerator's drip pan. 1. A system for removing moisture from the air inside a refrigerated space , the refrigerated space being cooled by a refrigerator having a refrigerant line and a drip pan , the system comprising ,a water jacket in thermal communication with the refrigerant line,a cold plate, the cold plate in fluid communication with the water jacket,a pump to circulate fluid between the water jacket and the cold plate, and a drain line, the drain line creating in fluid communication between the cold plate and the drip pan.2. The system of claim 1 , the water jacket comprising the shape of a hollow cylinder.3. The system of claim 2 , the water jacket comprising an inside diameter no bigger than an outside diameter of the refrigerant line.4. The system of claim 1 , the water jacket comprising the shape of a hollow cylinder claim 1 , the hollow cylinder having a circular end face and the hollow cylinder truncated longitudinally though a chord of the end face to expose an inner diameter claim 1 , wherein the inner diameter can be fitted against the outside diameter of the refrigerant line.5.
