How the machine
uses 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 trough. During
the ice-making
process,
fresh water enters
the water trough continuously
as the water from the trough
freezes continuously
on the
evaporator.
