2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as an ice making apparatus, a water circulation path for circulating water in an ice storage tank is provided, and the water is supercooled by a heat exchanger to produce slurry-like ice. As disclosed in JP-A-63-217171, an inclined gutter is formed so that the outlet side of the water circulation path is directed downward at the upstream side and the outlet end is opened at a certain height above the water surface of the ice storage tank. A heat exchanger is interposed between the gutters, and the water cooled by the heat exchanger in the water circulation path is released from the supercooled state at the outlet of the gutter to be iced into a slurry, and the iced material is removed. It is a known technique to prevent the water circulation path from freezing due to the progress of freezing of water by dropping the water into an ice storage tank.

Further, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 1-112345, the outlet end of the water circulation path is opened above the ice storage tank, and an inclined gutter having a baffle plate is provided in front of the opening to form a heat exchanger. By releasing the supercooled water into the atmosphere and colliding with the baffle, the supercooled state of the water is eliminated, the water is iced, and dropped into the ice storage tank through the gutter, A technique for more reliably preventing freezing of the water circuit is also a known technique.

However, in the latter one of the above-mentioned conventional ones, the distance between the heat exchanger and the supercooling elimination part is provided because the supercooling elimination part is provided above the ice storage tank. If the length is too long, the supercooled state may be eliminated by the piping between them. Therefore, since the heat exchanger must be provided near the ice storage tank, there is a problem in that the design such as bending of the water pipe becomes difficult, and the design restrictions are large.

[0005] On the other hand, in the former one of the above-mentioned conventional ones, it is necessary to install a gutter having a considerable difference in height above the ice storage tank as a supercooling elimination part, which again imposes a large design restriction. Further, there is a problem that heat is wasted due to heat exchange with the atmosphere because the time of exposure to the air is long.

Therefore, the supercooled state is eliminated in a continuous flow path through which the supercooled water or the like passes downstream of the supercooling-generating heat exchanger in the water circulation path, and the slurry-like ice is continuously generated. It is possible to go.

However, in this case, if the supercooling state is eliminated simply by re-cooling in the natural flow or increasing the flow velocity due to throttling, it takes a long stroke and time to complete the supercooling elimination. In the meantime, the probability that ice adheres to and grows on the pipe wall of the flow path and clogs the pipe line increases. Also,
If the water or the like remaining in the supercooled state is returned to the ice storage tank and circulated again to the supercooled heat exchanger, there is a possibility that the heat exchanger may be frozen.

An object of the present invention is to improve design flexibility while eliminating the possibility of freezing and clogging.
