Conductive protrusion assembly for an evaporator of an ice-making machine

An evaporator (101) for an ice making machine, the assembly (101) comprising:

• a frame (16);
• at least one support plate (8) supported by the frame (16);
• a water flow line (11) provided at a top end of the frame (16), wherein the water flow line (11) is positioned upstream to each of the at least one support plate (8);
• the at least one support plates (8) defined with at least one first provision (1a), wherein at least one first provisions (1a) is configured to receive a conductive protrusion assembly (100), the conductive protrusion assembly (100) comprising:
• a conductive cup (1) defining a chamber (C), the conductive cup is supportable by a support plate (8) of the evaporator (101);
• a conductive lid (2) fixed within the chamber (C), dividing the chamber into a cooling section (A) and an insulating section (B),
• wherein, the insulating section (B) of the conductive cup (1) is packed with an insulation material,
• wherein, the conductive lid (2) is defined with an inlet port (15a) and an outlet port (15b) to circulate a cooling fluid through the cooling section (A);
• and
• the insulating section (B) is defined with a flow passage to allow flow of a defrost fluid.
