摘要 |
The invention relates to a method for manufacturing ice pieces, comprising a first step (S1) of filling a mold with water, a second step (S2) of cooling the water by way of a compressor-operated cooler with an initial compression power and a third step (S3) of reducing the compression power at a time after the beginning of freezing of the water. These method steps facilitate the production of ice pieces from water in a more energy-efficient manner. In a preferred embodiment, the method comprises a fourth step (S4) of shutting off the compressor after the ice pieces are produced from the water, a fifth step (S5) of leaving the ice pieces in the mold for a rest period and a sixth step (S6) of heating the mold for thawing the ice pieces to facilitate the release of the ice pieces from the mold at the end of the rest period. |
