Abstract
This invention relates to a portable onsite ice making apparatus having a bypass tube, which includes a compressor equipped with a condenser having heat removal capacity of about 2,400˜2,600 BTU/hr; an expansion valve; an evaporator being in heat exchange relationship with an ice making tray; a bypass tube for the refrigerant to bypass the condenser and the expansion valve; and a switching means selectively changing the flow of the refrigerant from the compressor to the condenser or from the compressor to the bypass tube. The portable ice making apparatus has heat removal capacity to cool the ice making tray to −27° C.˜−26° C. within 3 minutes and heating capacity to heat the ice making tray from about −27° C.˜−26° C. to about 50° C.˜−60° C. within 30 seconds. The area of the capillary tube in the bypass tube to the area of the first discharging tube is about 1/25˜ 1/10.
Description
- The invention relates to a portable ice making apparatus having a bypass tube and more particularly to a portable onsite ice making apparatus having a bypass tube to switch between freezing and heating modes for quickly manufacturing ice products such as ice creams, sherbets, or ice cakes.
- A variety of ice making apparatuses have been proposed and disclosed and, among such apparatuses, a particular ice making apparatus was introduced so that ices can be manufactured onsite to meet the need of a customer for sherbets, ice creams or ice cakes.
- A conventional apparatus for manufacturing ice via rapid ice facture and rapid ice thaw was proposed, as described in
FIG. 1 and disclosed in the PCT/KR2005/001365. Such apparatus controls the thawing process through a bypass line so that the flow of refrigerant can by-pass the condenser without having to go though the normal process of ice making through the condenser. The bypass line allows compressed heat from the compressor to be directly transferred to the evaporator in order to facilitate the scraping of ice that was stuck to the surface of the cold plate, and it becomes easier to make ice products onsite. - In the freezing mode, refrigerant flows from the compressor to the condenser, to the expansion valve, to the evaporator, and then back to the compressor. But, in the heating mode when the valve on the bypass tube is open, the refrigerant flows from the compressor to the evaporator through the bypass tube and then back to the compressor, bypassing the condenser. There may be only one valve on the bypass tube, or there may be an additional valve on the pipe which connects the condenser and the expansion valve. When there is only one valve on the bypass tube, it takes some time for the flow of refrigerant through the bypass tube to completely take over the normal flow through the condenser. Furthermore, when there is an additional valve, controlling two separately valves may cause some problems if the two valves fail to work cooperatively. Besides, the conventional apparatus does not have a separator to collect liquefied refrigerant from the pipe which connects the evaporator to the condenser. The liquefied refrigerant in the pipe may cause damages to the compressor.
- The apparatus in
FIG. 1 claims the function of rapid ice facture and rapid ice thaw, but it has only one switch in the middle of the bypass line and once the switch is open, the flow of refrigerant gradually changes to the bypass line from the flow to the condenser. Due to this gradual change of flow, it takes a little more time to change from the freezing mode into the heating mode and the heating operation is not optimal. Furthermore, repeated and continued operation of freezing and thawing processes may overload the compressor. If the bypass line is open for too long, ice cream may become thawed beyond the intended state and this may cause a problem. - Another drawback of the conventional instrument is in the method of which the coolant dissipates to the evaporation dish where ice creams are being manipulated. Conventionally, the coolant from the evaporator enters to the evaporation dish in one direction. As a result, it takes longer time for the coolant to be spread throughout the evaporation dish and results in initial uneven temperatures throughout the evaporation dish. This effect will slow down the freezing process of the ice cream mixtures, making it hard to provide “express” ice cream to customers.
- Accordingly, to solve the above problems, a need for a portable onsite ice making apparatus having a bypass tube to switch between freezing and heating modes for express manufacture of ice products such as ice creams, sherbets, or ice cream cakes has been present for a long time considering the expansive demands in the everyday life. This invention is directed to solve these problems and satisfy the long-felt need.
- The present invention contrives to solve the disadvantages of the prior art. The present invention presents a portable onsite ice making apparatus having a bypass tube to switch between freezing and heating modes for quickly manufacturing ice products. A switching means is installed at the intersection of the bypass tube and the tube which connects the compressor and the condenser and, the bypass tube selectively changes the flow of the refrigerant from-the-compressor-to-the-condenser or from-the-compressor-to-the-bypass-tube.
- The object of this invention is to provide a more efficient portable onsite ice making apparatus. The switching means controls the flow of the refrigerant and thus changes the operating modes between the freezing and heating modes. The switching means allows only one flow direction of the refrigerant: to the condenser or to the bypass tube. This structure of the switching means also contributes to faster freezing and heating operations:
- Another object of this invention is to provide a portable onsite ice making apparatus which has a faster freezing/heating operation. The bypass tube is configured to have a capillary tube with the diameter of about 2˜3 mm whereas the diameter of the first discharging tube is about 9-10 mm. The capillary tube of the bypass tube increases the temperature of the gas from the compressor and thus, the temperature of the ice making tray.
- Still another object of this invention is to provide a portable onsite ice making apparatus which has a precise heat control. A temperature sensor is installed at the ice making tray to sense the temperature of the ice making tray and if the temperature is above a certain degree of temperature or below another degree of temperature, the compressor will be shut down. This structure will relieve the load to the compressor.
- Still another object of this invention is to provide a portable onsite ice making apparatus which has a faster and more even heat distribution on the ice making tray. The coolant pipe of the evaporation is constructed to have a shape of a circular coil so that the inlet tube is split into two sub-inlet tubes located about the same distance from the center of the circular coil and the outlet tube is split into two sub-outlet tubes, one at the center of the circular coil and the other at the outer boundary of the circular coil.
- The advantages of the present invention are: (1) the portable onsite ice making apparatus of the present invention is more efficient; (2) the freezing/heating operations of the present invention are faster; (3) heat control of the present invention is more precise; and (4) heat distribution on the ice making tray of the present invention is faster and more even.
- Although the present invention is briefly summarized, the fuller understanding of the invention can be obtained by the following drawings, detailed description and appended claims.
- These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:

FIG. 1 shows a conventional ice making apparatus. The apparatus includes a firstdischarging tube 11 connecting thecompressor 10 to thecondenser 20, thesecond discharging tube 21 connecting thecondenser 20 to theexpansion valve 22 and aninlet tube 23 connecting theexpansion valve 22 and theevaporator 30. Thebypass line 71 connects thefirst discharging tube 11 and theinlet tube 23 and the switching means 70 is installed in the middle of thebypass line 71. An additional switching means 25 is installed in the middle of the inlet tube. There is no separator to collect liquefied refrigerant from the pipe which connects theevaporator 30 to thecompressor 10, and thecoolant pipe 31 is configured to have a coil from theinlet tube 23 to theoutlet tube 24. - In the freezing mode, refrigerant flows from the
compressor 10 to thecondenser 20, to theexpansion valve 22, to theevaporator 30, and then back to thecompressor 10. But, in the heating mode when the switching means 70 on thebypass tube 71 is open and the other switching means 25 on theinlet tube 23 is closed, the refrigerant flows from thecompressor 10 to theevaporator 30 through thebypass tube 71 and then back to thecompressor 10, bypassing thecondenser 20. Here, controlling two separately valves may cause some problems if the valves fail to work cooperatively. There may be only one valve on thebypass tube 71 and in this case, it takes some time for the flow of refrigerant through thebypass tube 71 to completely take over the normal flow through thecondenser 20. - Besides, due to lack of the separator, the liquefied refrigerant in the pipe may cause damages to the
compressor 10. Furthermore, repeated and continued operation of freezing and thawing processes may overload thecompressor 10. If thebypass line 71 is open for too long, ice cream may become thawed beyond the intended state and this causes a problem. -
