Abrégé

A thermal management device for cooling a coolant for an ice maker that is remote relative to the thermal management device includes a housing, a coolant line through which the coolant is configured to flow, and a fan configured to move air through the housing of the thermal management device. The thermal management device includes a heat exchanger and a pump configured to move the coolant, via the coolant line, through the heat exchanger. The thermal management device includes a pressure sensor configured to determine a pressure of the coolant in the coolant line. A speed of the pump or a speed of the fan is controllable based on the determined pressure, such that heat transfer between the air moved through the housing and the coolant in the coolant line is controllable without a direct electrical connection of the thermal management device to the ice maker.

Abrégé

A conveyor type ware washing machine uses a heat pump to reduce exhaust heat and to heat incoming water. A modulating valve is used to control incoming water flow through a heat exchanger of the heat pump. Processing circuitry automatically dynamically adjusts the modulating valve between a plurality of open states based on the sensed refrigerant head pressure of the heat pump, so that the refrigerant head pressure is maintained in a predefined range. The ware washing machine is efficient, and reduces the amount of heat exhausted to ambient. Related methods are also disclosed.

Abrégé

An ice machine includes a housing including a front panel, a first sidewall, a second sidewall opposite the first sidewall, and an opening. The first sidewall and the second sidewall extend away from the front panel. The ice machine also includes a guide at or adjacent to an inner surface of the first sidewall, an inner surface of the second sidewall, or an inner surface of the front panel. The ice machine includes a door movably coupled to the guide. From a first position of the door, the door is pivotable away from the opening and translatable along the guide down into a second position.

An ice scoop includes a barrier having a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The ice scoop also includes a scoop portion extending away from the first side of the barrier, and a handle portion extending away from the second side of the barrier. The handle portion includes at least one wall extending away from the second side of the barrier. The at least one wall of the handle portion and the barrier define a cavity. The handle portion also includes a handhold attached to a wall of the at least one wall, the barrier, or the wall and the barrier within the cavity.

Abrégé

The present disclosure provides a flow splitter for dividing a flow of a fluid into a first outlet and a second outlet. The flow splitter comprises a pivot having a flapper portion, which can ensure that water will continue to flow to an outlet, even if the outlet is partially or completely obstructed.

Abrégé

The present disclosure provides an ice-making system having a control system. The control system selectively places the ice-making machine in a freeze cycle and a harvest cycle, based upon inputs from sensors that determine a flow rate of fluid out of an evaporator, and a level of fluid in a sump. The control system can further prevent a slushing condition in the ice- making machine by monitoring the temperature of the fluid in the sump. The control system can also monitor the sensors to ensure that they are providing correct signals.

Abrégé

An evaporator for use in an ice-making machine that has at least one water passage and at least one refrigerant passage. Water passing through the water passage is frozen by the conductive effects of a refrigerant passing through the refrigerant passages. The evaporator is wound in a flat, spiral, space-saving design. A flow-splitter for use in evaporators with two water passages is also provided.

Abrégé

An ice making has an ice making mold with a plurality of ice making cells opened at the bottom, a water tank, water spray nozzles adapted for spraying the water contained in the water tank towards the ice making cells, an ice bin adapted for storage of ice cubes formed in and harvested from the ice making cells, and an inclined plate having water spray openings and recovery openings and mounted between the ice making mold and the water spray nozzles. The ice making cells are each attached to a serpentine evaporator tube, which is cooled by a refrigeration system and also heated by way of electrical pulse energy. The electrical pulse heating of the ice making cells allows ice to be quickly and efficiently harvested from the cells.
