ABSTRACT:
An ice-maker for making generally half-round pieces which includes a pair of evaporator assemblies, a compressor, a condenser and a receiver for liquid refrigerant. The ice-maker is operated so that a film of water is supplied to one evaporator which is being cooled to form ice cubes while ice cubes are being harvested from the other evaporator. The evaporator assembly includes a stainless steel evaporator coil formed to provide parallel segments, plus support means of injection-molded plastic, which provides a central, planar web aligned with said tubing segments, plus transverse dividers which define the individual cube-forming regions. Low voltage power can be selectively applied to the evaporator coil to harvest the ice pieces via resistance heating, or warm water can be pumped through hollow passageways in the dividers.
