Benefits of technology

[0010]In the ice making system according to the present invention silver ion water containing a silver component produced in the electrolyzed water production system is supplied to the ice making mechanism through the water supply conduit and utilized to sterilize the water supply conduit thereby to maintain the same in a sanitary condition. The silver ion water can be also used as ice making water to produce chipped ice, flaked ice or sleety ice without any unwanted taste and unpleasant smell.
[0011]In the ice making system wherein tap water is purified and used as ice making water in operation, the electrolyzed water production system is activated upon finish of the ice making operation to produce the silver ion water. As the silver ion water is remained in the water supply

Problems solved by technology

The ice making water supplied into the ice making machine, however, does not have any disinfect resolution.
Even when the ice making water is discharged from the water supply conduit during stopping of the ice making machine, the interior of the water supply conduit and the ice making machine is in a wetted condition, causing breeding of various kinds of germs.
As described above, the water

Embodiment Construction

[0015]An ice making system according to the present invention includes an electrolyzed water production mechanism for producing silver ion water containing a silver component by electrolysis of purified water, and an ice making mechanism for freezing the silver ion water supplied from the electrolyzed water production mechanism through a water supply conduit for production of ice. Illustrated in FIG. 1 is an embodiment of the ice making system, where in the ice making mechanism is in the form of an auger type ice maker 10 connected to an electrolyzed water production system 30 through a water supply conduit 20.

[0016]The auger type ice maker 10 itself is well known in the art, which is provided with an auger 12 disposed in an upright cooling cylindrical body 11. In operation of the ice maker 10, refrigerant from a freezing circuit (not shown) is introduced into a cooling pipe 11a wound on the outer periphery of the cylindrical body 11 and discharged as shown by arrows in the figure f...

Abstract

An electrolyzed water production system 30 for producing silver ion water containing a silver component by electrolysis of purified water is provided in a water supply conduit 23 for supplying the silver ion water as ice making water to an ice making mechanism 10. After stopping of the ice making mechanism, the silver ion water supplied into the ice making mechanism 10 through the water supply conduit is remained.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to an ice making system provided with an ice making machine for freezing ice making water supplied thereto through a water supply conduit and ice produced in the ice making machine.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]In an ice making system provided with an ice snaking machine for freezing ice making water supplied thereto through a water supply conduit, tap water supplied as the ice making water from a source of water is purified by a water purifier to eliminate unwanted taste and unpleasant smell caused by a component contained in the tap water. The ice making water supplied into the ice making machine, however, does not have any disinfect resolution.[0005]For this reason, when the ice making water is remained in the water supply conduit at the downstream of the water purifier during stopping of the ice making machine, the interior of the water supply conduit and the ice making mac...
