PURPOSE: An ice maker is provided to reduce energy required for making ice and to easily supply cooled water to an ice making tray without a pump. CONSTITUTION: An ice maker comprises a water source(200), multiple ice making members(300), an ice making tray(400), a cold water tank(500), and a water supply unit(600) for ice making. The ice making members are located under the water source and are connected to an evaporator(E) connected to a freezer system. The ice making members are submerged in the ice making tray filled with water. The ice making tray is located under the ice making members. The cold water tank is located under the ice making tray and stores cooled water. The water supply unit receives the cooled water from the water source and heat-exchanges the water with the water stored in the cold water tank. The water supply unit supplies the heat-exchanged water to the ice making tray. |
