Abstract
An evaporator for ice maker comprises having a plate and spacer with heat conductivity of the plate being higher than of the spacer so that the evaporator can separate the ice cubes easily, thus enabling the plate and the spacer to be manufactured easily with interengaging connecting means.
Claims20
An evaporator for ice maker, comprising:
- plate means made of a material exhibiting good heat conductivity and joined together in a unitary body, for forming therein a plurality of evaporating pipes arrayed in said unitary body between said plate means;
- a plurality of separating means made of a substance exhibiting a characteristic of low heat conductivity disposable in pairs of said separating means each extending across said evaporating pipes on opposite sides of said unitary body, with each of said separating means in each said pair being interconnected through said unitary body;
- and
- connecting means formed as integral elements of each of said separating means, for joining each said pair of the separating means with the unitary body of the plate means.
1 more element
An evaporator for an ice maker, comprising:
- plate means joined together as a unitary body with interior wall surfaces of said plate means for providing a plurality of spaced apart evaporating pipes extending between said plate means, and having a plurality of spaced-apart files of holes formed between, each of said evaporating pipes and extending through said plate means;
- separating means installable on opposite sides of and centered around said plate means, with components of said separating means integrally formed as part of said separating means being coupled to said plate means along said files and through said holes of said unitary body in spaced apart pairs with each of said pairs being joined via different ones of said files of holes;
- and
- supply means for ejecting water onto surfaces of said plate means.
1 more element
An evaporator for an ice maker, comprising:
- plate means joined together as a unitary body with interior wall surfaces of said plate means providing a plurality of spaced apart evaporating pipes said pipes extending between said plate means and being spaced apart by intermediate web sections of said plate means, said web sections being perforated by a plurality of holes aligned in spaced-apart files of pairs of said holes;
- and
- separating means installable on opposite sides of said plate means, with components of said separating means that are integrally formed as part of said separating means and are placed on one side of said plate means being coupled together through said plate means along said files of pairs of holes in said plate means with said components of said separating means that are disposed on opposite side of said plate means, with pairs of said components being joined via different ones of said holes.
