Abstract

See full text

Disclosed are ice making machines which use aluminum as an alternative to copper in the ice making machine evaporator and also use an alternate coolant/refrigerant specifically targeted to provide improved heat transfer transport properties and higher heat capacitance than conventional HFC coolant/refrigerants. Optionally, rotary compressors are used in place of conventional reciprocating compressors, further enhancing performance for the ice making machine. The disclosed ice making machines maintain high efficiency and ice output, and provide equal or better energy efficiency than comparative ice making machines. At the same time, savings are realized in the material cost for the evaporator, and resulting from the combined effects of lower density and lower metal cost/unit weight offered by aluminum as compared to copper.
