EVAPORATOR FOR AN ICE MACHINE

Abstract

An evaporator for an ice machine comprising a tube on which a second outer tube with a larger diameter is placed, creating a cylindrical chamber, and wherein supplementary rings are located on the upper and lower ends thereof which seal the assembly; and wherein the tube incorporates therein a plurality of mechanized grooves, favoring the outlet of the ice, decreasing the effort necessary for said operation and therefore the noise generated.

DESCRIPTION OF A DETAILED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

[0014] The attached figures show a preferred embodiment of the invention. More specifically, the evaporator for an ice machine, object of the present specification, is characterized in that it comprises a tube (1) which has, internally mechanized, a plurality of grooves (1a) favoring the vertical outlet of the ice, decreasing the effort necessary for said operation and therefore the noise generated.

[0015] The tube (1) will be manufactured from stainless steel or a material with equivalent mechanical characteristics.

[0016] On said tube (1), a second outer tube (2) with a larger diameter is placed, creating a cylindrical chamber, and wherein supplementary rings (3) are located on the upper and lower ends thereof which seal the assembly, improving the performance thereof with the pressure.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, in both the lower and upper portions of the assembly made up of the tubes (1,2), a series of connections (4) are located for the inlet and/or outlet of the refrigerant liquid.

[0018] Between both tubes (1, 2), located on the first tube (1), a steel spring (5) is located which perfectly adjusts to the two diameters of the cylindrical chamber, in order to prevent the by-pass of the refrigerant liquid between coils, making up a helical circuit which forces the circulation of the refrigerant liquid.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the spring (5) will have a smaller passage (5a) at the beginning thereof, and a larger passage (5b) at the end thereof.
