Embodiment Construction

[0064] An ice maker and an ice making method according to the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0065] figure 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating slush making or supercooling according to the present invention. refer to figure 2 , the liquid 41 to be supercooled is disposed between the electrodes 40 . In a state where cool air 42 is supplied, an electric field is applied to liquid 41 using an alternating current (AC) power source 43 . Thus, the liquid 41 is not frozen but is subcooled below its state transition temperature (eg water is 0° C. at 1 atmosphere pressure). An energy supply such as an electric field is known to break the hydrogen bonds of water composed of oxygen and hydrogen, and therefore, the water does not freeze. When an external force is applied to the subcooled liquid by the state switch 44, for example, when power is applied to the subcooled liquid by an electric igniter, the force interf...

Abstract

The present invention discloses an ice maker and a method of making ice, wherein the ice maker includes an ice pan (51), for receiving water and making ice; and at least an energy generator (54), for supplying energy for at least one of the water in the ice pan and the ice made in the ice pan.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an ice making machine and an ice making method, and more particularly, to making slush or ice rapidly using a supercooled liquid made by supplying energy such as an electric field, and being able to make ice by supplying energy Ice machines and ice making methods that switch to a supercooled state to easily separate ice. Background technique [0002] Supercooling means that a liquid such as water does not transform into a solid state even when it is lower than a state transition temperature for transforming into a solid state, but remains in a state at a high temperature, that is, a liquid state. Water droplets can be supercooled in their natural state. Also, water or beverages can occasionally get too cold in a regular refrigerator. The freezing method disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication S59-151834 and the freezing method and refrigerator disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2001-0869...
