<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To save energy and reduce manufacturing costs without causing a problem of the provision of ice. <P>SOLUTION: A main control part 100 of an ice-making apparatus includes: a start determination time setting part 112 setting a start determination time in accordance with a detection result from an external temperature sensor 35; and an drive signal output part 113 monitoring, when an ice detection sensor 31 detects that an ice storage amount of an ice storage tank 30 is below an upper limit height, whether or not this state that the ice storage amount is below the upper limit height and is not an upper limit is continued for a start determination time set by the start determination time setting part 112, and outputting a drive signal to a compressor 11 when the continuous time of the state that the ice storage amount is not the upper limit reaches the start determination time. The start determination time setting part 112 sets the start determination time shorter as the detection temperature from the external temperature sensor 35 increases. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT</p> |
