Water purifier with ice maker

摘要

A water purifier with an ice maker is provided that may include an ice making part (200) having an evaporator (210) and a circulation cooling part (300) that circulates water stored in a cold water tank (310) to the evaporator (210) so that the water stored in the cold water tank (310) is cooled by performing a heat exchange with refrigerant flowing in the evaporator (210). With the configurations as described above, it is possible to simultaneously make ice and cool water using a single evaporator. Therefore, there is no need to make separate ice so as to cool water, thereby making it possible to enhance the energy efficiency of the water purifier with an ice maker.

主权项

1. A water purifier with an ice maker, comprising:
an ice making part (200) having an evaporator (210); and a circulation cooling part (300) configured to carry out circular cooling in which water stored in a cold water tank (310) is directly heat exchanged with a refrigerant flowing in the evaporator (210) and returned to the cold water tank (310), wherein the circulation cooling part (300) includes the cold water tank (310) into which water is stored, and a continuous flow pipe (330) having a continuously enclosed interior between two ends, the two ends being directly connected to the cold water tank (310), wherein at least a part of the flow pipe (330) contacts a part of the evaporator (210) so that the water flowing in the flow pipe (330) is cooled by direct heat exchange with the refrigerant flowing in the evaporator (210) through the flow pipe (330) and the evaporator (210), wherein the cooled water returns to the cold water tank (310) through the flow pipe (330), and wherein a portion of the evaporator (210) which comes into contact with the flow pipe (330) is used to cool water flowing in the flow pipe (330), and a portion of the evaporator (210) which does not come into contact with the flow pipe (330) is used to make ice (I).
