  • References Cited water flowing through an inlet conduit passes through UNITED STATES PATENTS a venturi device connected to the outlet of the refrigerated reservoir so as to cause meltdown water in the resg ervoir to'be drawn into the stream of tap water.
  • This invention generally relates to a system for handling meltdown water from an ice maker, and, more particularly, this invention relates to a system for recirculating meltdown water in a cold drink vending machine that incorporates an ice maker.
  • meltdown water in a cold drink vendor has been to drain the meltdown water into a waste bucket, which could be removed periodically and emptied.
  • This system though simple and generally effective, is disadvantageous in that it involves additional servicing time and expense.
  • the removal of meltdown water from the ice maker can be a timeconsuming process and may be required at frequent intervals that do not necessarily coincide with normal servicing calls for the machine.
  • This additional servicing requirement constitutes an added expense, which necessarily cuts into the profits that might otherwise be realized from the use of the machine.
  • meltdown water collecting at the bottom of the ice storage compartment can be returned to the ice maker or conveyed to another water bath or water requiring device.
  • the meltdown water must be returned to a higher level, thus requiring a different approach from that utilized with ice makers having ice storage compartments at a relatively high level with respect to water requiring areas of the system.
  • One prior art device handles the meltdown water by continuously pumping the meltdown water back to the ice maker reservoir by means of an air pump. Since the meltdown water is continuously conveyed to the ice maker reservoir, there is no stagnation of the meltdown water with the attendant bacteria growth problem.
  • this arrangement requires a continuously running pump, which means that power must be continuously supplied to the pump, thus incurring additional operating expense and requiring that care be taken to insure that the power for the pump is always available. Further, as with any piece of machinery, the chance of malfunction is always present. Also, in view of the constantly moving parts, the life ofa pump of this nature is relatively short.
  • an improved system for handling meltdown water resulting from ice melting in the ice hopper comprising a water reservoir adapted to receive meltdown water from the ice hopper, a refrigeration system adapted to chill the water in the water reservoir, and a conveying arrangement for conveying at least a portion of the meltdown water to another area for re-use.
  • meltdown water flows directly from the ice hopper to a refrigerated meltdown water reservoir, where the meltdown water is maintained in a chilled condition until the water is re-used, either in the apparatus or elsewhere.
  • the meltdown water By holding the meltdown water in this chilled condition, preferably at a temperature below 50F., and ideally at a temperature of about 3240F., until it is reused in the system or is dispensed in a cold drink (in the case where the subject system is used in a cold drink vendor), the growth of bacteria is inhibited.
  • the handling system of the present invention which has been found to be both a simple and effective means for recirculating meltdown water back to the ice maker for re-use, comprises a venturi arrangement, wherein fresh tap water flowing through an inlet conduit to the ice maker passes through a venturi device that is in turn connected to an outlet at the top of the refrigerated water reservoir.
  • a venturi device that is in turn connected to an outlet at the top of the refrigerated water reservoir.
  • This system insures that at least a portion of the meltdown water will be recirculated in the apparatus for re-use, and it further insures that the meltdown water recirculated will be thoroughly dispersed in a relatively constant proportion of fresh tap water, a feature that provides additional protection against bacteria growth and the accumulation of slime in the meltdown water and water lines.
  • the venturi arrangement of the present invention also substantially eliminates the problem of meltdown water standing in feed lines at ambient temperatures, since the water is drawn out of the refrigerated container only as it is needed in the system, with the water remaining in a chilled condition in the water reservoir until it is re-used.
  • venturi arrangement operates from the flow of fresh tap water into the system and hence there i is no need for a separate power supply such as that required by a pump. Also, there are no moving parts. Therefore, this system will last for the life of the apparatus with which it is used with little or no maintenance problem.
  • meltdown water in an ice making apparatus such that the meltdown water may be conveyed to other areas without the necessity of a pump or other power driven apparatus.
  • a further object of the present invention is to convey meltdown water to other locations while inhibiting the growth of bacteria.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a refrigeration system for maintaining meltdown water in a refrigerated condition until it is re-used in an ice making apparatus.
  • Still a further object of the present invention is to provide a water bath refrigeration system for maintaining meltdown water in a refrigerated condition until it is re-used in an ice making apparatus.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a simple and effective means for recirculating meltdown water to an ice maker.
  • Still another object of the present invention is to provide a means for recirculating meltdown water to the ice maker that insures that the meltdown water will be blended with fresh tap water when it is re-used.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a venturi arrangement for recirculating meltdown water in an ice making apparatus.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic view of the system of the subject invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view of one type of venturi device that may be employed in the present invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of another type of venturi arrangement that may be employed in the present invention.
  • FIGS. 1-3 a system for storing and recirculating meltdown water produced in an ice maker is shown in FIGS. 1-3.
  • the subject invention is depicted in the form it would take if it were employed in a conventional cold drink vendor, but it should be understood that this system is not limited to use in a cold drink vendor but may be adapted to any type of ice maker where the recirculation of meltdown water is desired.
  • the apparatus of the present invention comprises an ice maker 10, an ice storage compartment or ice hopper 14, a refrigerated water reservoir 13, and a recirculation system for recirculating meltdown water in the apparatus for re-use.
  • the recirculation system 15 causes meltdown water to be mixed with fresh water and transferred to an ice maker reservoir 17 (alternatively referred to as a system reservoir or a vendor reservoir) which supplies water to the ice maker 10.
  • ice maker reservoir 17 also provides water for a cold drink maker 19 (shown in schematic form).
  • Ice maker 19 which may be of any conventional design, produces ice 12, which is stored in ice hopper 14 until it is used in a cold drink.
  • the ice hopper 14 is provided with a cover 11 and extends into a chute 16, through which ice is dispensed for cold drinks.
  • the chute 16 is provided with a screen 18 positioned beneath the ice hopper 14, so that meltdown water produced in the ice hopper drops directly through the screen and into a drain line 20. The meltdown water then flows down to the refrigerated water reservoir 13, where it is stored in a refrigerated condition until it is re-used in the system.
  • the refrigerated water reservoir comprises a container 22, which sits in a water bath 52.
  • Water bath 52 comprises a basin 54 filled with water 56, which has immersed therein a series of refrigerated coils 58.
  • the coils 58 are refrigerated by-the refrigeration system employed in the ice maker or cold drink vending machine (not shown).
  • the water bath could be chilled by any other conventional refrigeration system.
  • the water in the water reservoir is maintained in a liquid state below a temperature of about 50F. Below this temperature, it has been found that bacteria growth and slime development in the meltdown water are substantially impeded. Ideally, the temperature of the water in the water reservoir is maintained as close to freezing as possible, preferably in the range of 3240F.
  • Container 22 has an outlet 26 at the top thereof for recirculating meltdown water back to the system for re-use.
  • An outlet conduit 28 protrudes through the top of the container and comprises a lower section 30, a check valve or one-way valve 32, and an upper section 34.
  • the one-way valve 32 permits water to flow in an upward direction in outlet conduit 28 (FIG. 1 orientation) but not in a downward direction.
  • the upper section 34 of the outlet conduit 28 is connected to a venturi device 33, which comprises a tee connection 36 and an interior hollow tube 42.
  • the tee connection 36 comprises a hollow cross bar 38 and a hollow leg 40.
  • the cross bar 38 is connected into an inlet conduit 41 that provides fresh tap water for ice maker water reservoir 17. In the FIG. 1 orientation, water enters the left hand end of cross bar 38, then passes out the right hand end of cross bar 38 and flows on to ice maker 10.
  • hollow tube 42 fits snugly within leg 40, and an upper end 44 of the tube protrudes into the hollow opening in cross bar 38, thereby partially obstructing the passage of water through cross bar 38.
  • the protrusion of tube 42 into the opening of cross bar 38 and the shape of end 44 create a venturi effect (i.e., a pressure drop) at the outlet of tube 42 whenever fresh tap water flows through the cross bar 38.
  • the end 44 of tube 42 is formed with a bevelled surface, with the bevel facing in a downstream direction, in order to maximize the venturi effect at the outlet of tube 42.
  • FIG. 3 wherein end 44' of tube 42' is curved in a downstream direction, so that the outlet of the tube faces in a downstream direction.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 Both embodiments shownin FIGS. 2 and 3 have been found to be effective in producing a pressure drop at the outlet of the tube that is sufficient to cause a satisfactory rate of meltdown water flow up the outlet tube and into inlet conduit 41 as tap water flows through the venturi device.
  • the FIG. 2 arrangement is employed instead of the FIG. 3 arrangement, because of a cost savings in the manufacture of the tube.
  • Ice maker reservoir 17 comprises a container 68 for storing water and a float 70 that actuates a control switch 72 whenever the water level in the ice maker water reservoir drops to a predetermined level.
  • the actuation of control switch 72 in turn actuates a solenoid valve 74 in the inlet conduit 41 upstream of the venturi device 33 that permits fresh tap water to flow through inlet conduit 41, through the venturi, and into the ice maker reservoir 17.
  • Water held in the ice maker water reservoir flows through a conduit 76 to the ice maker and is used in the production of ice until such time as the ice in ice hopper 14 reaches a predetermined level, at which time the ice trips a switch 77 and deactuates the ice maker.
  • the ice maker reservoir also provides water to cold drink maker 19 through conduit 79 for use in cold drinks.
  • Cold drink maker 19 may be of any conventional design.
  • meltdown water is not permitted to remain stationary in the drain line 20, but is passed directly to a refrigerated water reservoir 13, wherein the water is maintained at a refrigerated temperature until it is re-used in the system.
  • the direct transfer of meltdown water to a refrigerated container inhibits bacteria growth in the meltdown water and slime development in the ice maker drain line.
  • venturi recirculation system for effecting recirculation of meltdown water.
  • the system is simple and service-free, yet effects a positive force on the meltdown water to force it into the inlet line along with a fixed proportion of fresh tap water flowing to the ice maker.
  • This system not only provides a satisfactory rate of meltdown water re-use, but also insures that the meltdown water will be mixed with a sufficient quantity of fresh tap water to eliminate the problem of slime development in the inlet lines.
  • Still another advantage of recirculation system of the present invention is that the venturi device is designed so that only a portion of the meltdown water is recirculated back to the ice maker along with the tap water.
  • the rest of the meltdown water is allowed to accumulate in the water reservoir until it reaches an overflow tube 60, at which time it passes through the overflow tube and into the refrigerated water bath 52.
  • This overflow feature insures that there will always be sufficient water in the water bath for refrigeration purposes, even though some of the water inevitably will be lost through evaporation. Any additional meltdown water, over and above that needed to replenish the supply of water in the water bath, will flow out an overflow outlet 64 in the water bath and into waste bucket 66, which may be emptied periodically.
  • An automatic shut-off mechanism 67 of conventional design may be employed to shut off the vendor whenever the overflow bucket is full and requires emptying.
  • a method for re-using meltdown water resulting from ice melting in the ice hopper comprising:
  • meltdown water in a liquid state in a water reservoir at a temperature between about 32 and about 40 Fahrenheit

  • meltdown water in a liquid state in a water reservoir at a temperature between about 32 and about 40 Fahrenheit
  • venturi effect introducing by means of a venturi effect at least a portion of the refrigerated meltdown water into fresh tap water being supplied to the system, said venturi effect causing the meltdown water to be admixed with fresh tap water in relatively constant proportions.
