Device for making pieces of ice

摘要

In a device for making pieces of ice, a water tank (6) is provided, into which a pivotably articulated evaporator plate (7), which can be cooled with the aid of a cooling unit (17), can be submerged. When the ice layer on the heat transmission surface (21) of the evaporator plate (7) the desirable thickness, the evaporator plate (7) is brought into the vertical position with the aid of an actuating gear motor (11) and is heated by introduction of a heating gas extracted from the refrigeration compressor, as a result of which the ice sheet adhering to the heat transmission surface (21) is freed and falls downwards through an ice shaft (23) towards a deflection plate (25). <IMAGE>
