What does anyone who bought say?: “I liked everything. So much so that it’s the second one I have. The first one, after a lot of use, I gave it to my son, and it’s working perfectly. Very happy with my purchase” – Auri.
How does the ice machine work?
Portable ice machines work with reservoirs and a compressor system that cools the water. As it does not require hydraulic installation and, in most models, is compact, it can be used at home, at barbecues with friends and even at small events.
“Inside the machine there is a copper or aluminum coil, where the refrigerant circulates, normally freon gas. R22, and cools everything around, an operation similar to that of air conditioning. The coil has pins, which come into contact with the water in the reservoir, cooling a small amount of water until they turn into ice cubes”, explains Jaques Antônio Fonseca, electrical engineer.
“As the coil has this internal cooling system and the pin reaches a small area of the water in the tray, when the temperature drops below 0 degrees Celsius, the solidification point, a small cylinder of ice forms in minutes”, he adds.
When the process ends, the refrigerant liquid stops circulating and the ice cubes come off the pins, then a blade pushes them into the machine’s internal tray. This way they are ready for consumption. Using cold or ice water helps speed up this process.
