Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing pieces of ice by increasing freezing of water at least one immersion element which can be cooled down below the freezing point of the water, and to an associated device for producing pieces of ice and a refrigeration appliance, in particular household refrigerating appliance, with such a device for producing ice pieces.
- WO 2009/010424 A2 discloses a device for producing consumable ice cubes with at least one heat-conducting immersion element, which is provided with an ice adhesion surface and is suitable for immersing into an edible liquid with the ice adhesion surface.
- a refrigeration device is structurally connected to the submerged element, which is configured with a predetermined heat transport device for cooling down at least the ice adhesion surface to a freezing temperature of the liquid in such a way that, in a submerged state of the submerged element, that liquid which is present in the vicinity of the ice adhesion surface, is freezable and from a portion of the liquid on the EisadPSsionsthesis an ice cube can be formed.
- the object of the invention is to improve a method and an apparatus for producing pieces of ice, in particular to produce clear ice with simple means in a cost-effective and energy-efficient manner.
- the object is achieved by a method for producing pieces of ice by increasing freezing of water at least one immersion element that can be cooled down below the freezing point of the water, with the steps:
- thermoelectric precooling of the at least one immersion element below the freezing point of the water in particular by means of a Peltier element; Immersing the pre-cooled immersion element in the water after pre-cooling;
- thermoelectric cooling device With the method according to the invention and the device according to the invention, pieces of ice, in particular clear ice pieces, can be produced with a thermoelectric cooling device.
- the precooling according to the invention of the at least one, in particular of the plurality of immersion element makes it possible to produce pieces of ice, in particular Klareis consortiume with a refrigeration device.
- the refrigeration device does not have to be able to produce a high cooling capacity. It is sufficient but a refrigeration device low cooling capacity.
- thermoelectric refrigerating devices can be used.
- the thermoelectric refrigeration devices can in particular make do without expensive compressors and refrigerant circuits.
- thermoelectric cooling device For the representation of clear pieces with a thermoelectric cooling device, the following framework conditions can be taken into account in the design and operation:
- the temperature of the immersion elements is in a favorable range during the filling of the water, it is true that upon first contact of the water with the immersion elements, a thin cloudy ice layer may at first form abruptly. However, this ice layer is defrosted again after completely wetting the immersion elements with the water. The ice crystallization then sets in delayed, so that clear pieces of ice are formed. If, by contrast, the immersion elements are too cold during or immediately after immersion in the water tank, a cloudy ice layer forms immediately upon contact of the water with the immersion elements on the surface thereof, which even after complete immersion. permanent wetting of the immersion elements can no longer melt with the water and remains visible as cloudiness in the ice pieces.
- the immersion elements are too warm during or immediately after immersion in the water tank, the water is cooled too slowly around the ice fingers, so that it can lead to significant hypothermia of the water without the formation of ice begins.
- the formation of ice or a crystallization then begins after some time abruptly and it forms cloudy pieces of ice.
- the ice crystallization must therefore not run too fast even under favorable starting conditions. If a critical growth rate is exceeded, the crystal lattice of the ice crystal can no longer form clear ice, because it leads to inclusions and lattice defects, which lead to cloudy ice.
- thermoelectric ice piece preparator for example, an ice finger assembly having immersion elements can be immersed in a container with water, ie a water tank filled with water. On the individual fingers, the water freezes and pieces of ice grow. If the pieces of ice have reached a sufficient size, the ice fingers can be removed from the water or the water pan can be removed. By subsequently heating up the ice finger assembly, the pieces of ice dissolve away from the ice fingers. Subsequently, further ice pieces can be produced again.
- the ice cubes are prepared on cooled immersion elements or ice fingers dipped in water.
- the temperature of immersion elements or ice fingers and the temperature of the water is important.
- provision may be made of a container of water having a temperature between plus five degrees Celsius and plus one degree Celsius, in particular between plus four degrees Celsius and plus three degrees Celsius.
- the water temperature can therefore be close to the zero-degree Celsius limit, but these do not reach, ie the water should be in the plus-degree range, so it does not freeze.
- thermoelectrically cooled immersion element can be designed or operated according to one or more of the following aspects.
- the pre-cooling of the at least one immersion element may be at a temperature between minus five degrees Celsius and minus twenty degrees Celsius.
- the immersion elements are not immersed in the water and then cooled down, but cooled down before being immersed in the process temperature and then immersed in the water.
- either the at least one immersion element can be moved into a water tank, or the at least one immersion element is permanently installed and a movably mounted water tank is brought to the at least one immersion element, so that the immersion element dips into the water.
- the heating of the pre-cooled immersion element after immersion may be at a temperature less than or equal to zero degrees Celsius.
- the heating of the pre-cooled immersion element after immersion can be carried out in particular at a location at the level of the water surface.
- the immersion element is not continuously cooled, but rather a heating via the immersion temperature is permitted or generated.
- either the cooling capacity of the refrigeration device can be reduced or adjusted or sufficient preheated water can be provided.
- the heating of the pre-cooled immersion element after immersion may be at a temperature less than or equal to two degrees Celsius.
- the heating of the pre-cooled immersion element after immersion can be carried out in particular to a temperature less than or equal to minus three degrees Celsius.
- the heating of the pre-cooled immersion element after immersion can also take place at one point at the level of the water surface.
- Immersion of the dip element after precooling may be done in water at a temperature between plus one degree Celsius and plus five degrees Celsius.
- immersion of the immersion element after pre-cooling in water may be at a temperature between plus three degrees Celsius and plus four degrees Celsius.
- the water can be tempered differently depending on the amount of water provided and the amount of ice to be generated. In particular, however, the temperature of the water is such that, depending on the temperature of the pre-cooled immersion element, the immersion element after immersion can at most heat to a temperature less than or equal to zero degrees Celsius minus two or minus three degrees Celsius.
- a device for producing pieces of ice according to the invention comprises a water container with water, at least one immersion element which is adapted to be submerged in the water to allow it to freeze on the surface of the immersion element, and a cooling device for cooling the immersion element below the freezing point of the water.
- the device according to the invention has the refrigeration device a thermoelectric cooling device, in particular a Peltier element, and the device is set up to pre-cool the immersion element by means of the thermoelectric cooling device, in particular of the Peltier element, before immersion.
- Peltier element can be manufactured with a low electrical power reliably and very efficiently clear ice.
- the device can be set up to operate the thermoelectric cooling device, in particular the Peltier element, with a cooling capacity of between 10% and 30%, in particular 20% of its nominal cooling capacity.
- the apparatus may also include a heater to heat the water prior to immersion of the immersion element. This is particularly useful if the immersion element has been cooled several degrees below zero degrees Celsius and / or if only a small amount of pieces of ice from a small amount of water to be generated. If the water is too cold before submerging the immersion element, cloudy ice may form. Therefore, to avoid cloudy pieces of ice, it may be expedient to warm the water before immersing the immersion element.
- the apparatus may include a reservoir and a conduit connection for transporting water from the reservoir into the water container, and the apparatus may be configured to hold the water warmed by the heater in the reservoir and to transport it into the water container prior to immersion of the immersion element.

Warming up with the water heater only when needed, when water is transported from the reservoir through the line connection in the water tank. It is heated only the amount of water just needed. So can be dispensed reheating the entire amount of water in the reservoir and energy, especially electrical energy can be saved.

- Fig. 3 shows the device 9 in an operating position.
- the immersion elements 1 1 are cooled by the refrigeration device 12 below the Geriertician the liquid, so that liquid on the at least one immersion element 1 1 can freeze.
- the liquid container 13 is sufficiently filled in an upper filling position, it is moved downwards by means of the positioning device 14, so that the valve 28 shoots again and ice production can begin by freezing the liquid at the immersion elements 11 or the ice fingers .
- the levers 18a and 18b of the positioning device 14 are in their middle positions, ie in the operating position.
- the Eiskristallisations depends on the amount of heat, which is released per unit time from the residual water or from the Eisfingerbaury 30, that is, the device, which has the immersion elements 1 1, can be dissipated.
- the cooling power of the ice finger assembly 30 in turn depends on the temperature of a heat sink 31 and the pumping power of the electrothermal cooling device 12a or of the Peltier element 32.
- the heat sink 31 should be designed according to the prevailing conditions in the refrigerator 1 for optimum cooling performance.
- the amount of heat dissipatable only by the size of the Eisfingerbauè 30, ie by the number of Eisfinger or immersion 1 1, the diameter, the length and immersion depth of the Eisfinger or immersion 1 1 depending on the desired Eis Federation founded and by the pumping power of the Peltier element 32 are controlled. Since the Peltier element 32 is to be operated but only with about 20% of its power, a regulation of the heat flow through the Peltier element 32 is possible and useful only to a small extent. Therefore, the amount of water and thus the size of the water tank 13 is of primary importance. The amount of water should be large enough so that the crystallization of ice to the ice pieces 22 and thus to the ice finger assembly 30, the ice crystallization is limited to a favorable level. It should be noted here that not only the absolute volume of water is important, but also the dimensioning of the water tank 13. Thus, there should be sufficient space between the ice pieces 22 and the water tank 13, so that local clouding does not occur due to rapid ice growth ,
- the ice crystallization can be started selectively by the following procedure: Before filling the water tank 13, the ice finger assembly 30 is cooled to a certain temperature, for example minus 5 to minus 20 degrees Celsius. This is the pre-cooling phase. It can easily be withdrawn a certain amount of heat. The water is very fast when pouring a part of its heat to the frozen ice finger assembly 30, whereby it heats up and partially thaws, since the Peltier element 32 can not quickly enough heat the amount of heat absorbed by the Eisfingerbau devise 30 to the heat sink 31.
- the water temperature may be at least plus 3 to plus 4 degrees Celsius when filling, so that a sufficient amount of heat in sufficient speed, limited by the thermal conductivity of the water and the temperature gradient between water and ice fingers can be absorbed by the Eisfingerbau devis 30.
- the Eisfingerbau devise 30 withdraws the Water only so much energy that can not immediately form an ice layer or this is thawed again after the full filling of the water tank 13, but only slightly delayed ice crystallization begins, thereby ensuring that it is not too fast ice formation and thus Emergence of cloudy ice comes. If the ice-finger assembly 30 warms up too much, it can, as described, lead to a greatly delayed start of ice formation and thus to supercooling.
- a water temperature when filling into the water tank 13 of at least plus 3 to plus 4 degrees Celsius prevail in order to reliably produce Klareis consortiume 22 can.
- a sufficiently high water temperature is usually ensured.
- the water supply for the icemaker but stored in a tank inside the refrigerator compartment the water is cooled to the refrigerator temperature, which may be depending on the controller position and position of the water tank 13 in the cooling compartment below the required plus 3 to plus 4 degrees Celsius, creating a reliable representation of Klareis consortiumen 22 is no longer guaranteed.
- thermoelectric ice maker stored in a reservoir 21 within the refrigeration compartment, then a reuse of the residual water makes sense, since in each ice production cycle only about 10 to 20% of the water filled in the water tank 13 (about 500ml) to ice pieces 22nd to be converted.
- a pump 33 which is equipped for example with a heater 34, in particular a small flow heater 34 a.
- the heater 34 can be designed with a relatively low power, since the water to be filled in the water tank 13 is to be heated at most by 3 to 4 degrees Kelvin when the water temperature in the reservoir 21 is near zero degrees Celsius.
- a detection of the water temperature in the reservoir 21 may be useful. Is the water temperature in the reservoir 21 above plus 3 to plus 4 degrees Celsius, z. B. after filling with fresh tap water, the heater 34 is not turned on when filling the water tank 13. On the other hand, if the temperature is below the required plus 3 to plus 4 degrees Celsius, then the heater 34 can be operated differently depending on the degree of required heating of the water.
- a line connection 35 between the reservoir 21 and water tank 13 may be provided.
- the water tank 13 should also be designed sufficiently large, so that at the narrowest points between the water tank wall and pieces of ice 22 sufficient residual water is present, otherwise local clouding can occur. However, if the water tank 13 were designed too large, then a large amount of water would have to be cooled to form ice, which would be unfavorable in terms of energy.
