Abstract
An evaporator structure, an ice maker, and a method for heat exchange are provided. The evaporator structure includes: a freezing valve, configured to independently control a refrigerant flow rate of a refrigerant in each of at least two capillary tubes; the at least two capillary tubes, disposed between the freezing value and an evaporator, and configured to transmit the refrigerant into the evaporator; and the evaporator, configured to vaporize the refrigerant for heat exchange.

An ice maker, comprising
- a freezing valve,
- a condenser,
- a compressor,
- at least two capillary tubes, and
- an evaporator, wherein a refrigerant flows through pipelines connected to the freezing valve, the condenser, the compressor, the at least two capillary tubes, and the evaporator,
