Method and a machine for treatment of water, especially when producing ice, particularly ice cubes

Abstract

In a method for treatment of water, especially when freezing water to ice, particularly in the form of ice cubes in a machine, water is passed over a freezing plate with refrigeration elements for cooling and/or forming ice on the plate. The water which has to be cooled or frozen is first exposed to a boiling process, the water either being taken from a store of boiled water and/or passed through a boiling device with heating to a temperature area of the boiling temperature, preferably 80-100° C. in the actual ice making machine. The water is thereby exposed to a combination of boiling and a subsequent cooling effect or freezing. A machine is also described for use with the method.
