<p>A device for producing a mass of ice in successive cycles comprises: a hollow panel (1) through which can flow a first heat transfer medium and which is placed in a position varying substantially from the horizontal position; means for causing water to flow over at least a part of the outer surface of the panel (1) such that due to through-flow of first heat transfer medium with a temperature below 0 °C at least a part of the liquid flowing along freezes and forms an ice crust (21) adhering to said outer surface; and heating means for heating said outer surface to above 0 °C such that the formed ice crust (21) becomes detached from the surface and slides or falls downward; and has the characteristic that the heating means comprise a heating element (20) which is placed in the cavity present in the panel (1) and which can be activated from outside.</p> |
