How the Machine Uses the Water
The ice maker begins with a fixed charge of water that is contained
in the water trough. As the
water flows to the freezing evaporator
surface, the portion of water that does not contain mineral
impurities
will freeze and stick to the ice cube molds. The water containing
impurities falls back
into the water
trough.
During
the ice-making
process,
fresh water
enters
the water
trough
continuously
as the water from the trough freezes continuously
on the evaporator.
