III.<br />

A working outline<br />

A fixed vertical evaporator (1) is cooled by the refrigerant fluid evaporating on the inside.<br />

Water is evenly distributed from<br />

above onto the internal surface (2), 2<br />

4<br />

where it freezes once it comes into<br />

1<br />

contact with the cold wall. A<br />

helicoidal ice-breaker (3) is<br />

positioned parallel to the cylinder<br />

axis, almost in contact with the<br />

internal surface and the gear<br />

reducer (4) causes the central shaft<br />

(5) to turn at a constant speed. The<br />

ice-breaker is connected to the<br />

3<br />

central shaft with a satellite<br />

mechanism.<br />

The ice-breaker rotates on the<br />

5<br />

surface of ice; it removes it by<br />

8<br />

breaking it into flakes which then<br />

fall by gravity. A flat, vertical blade<br />

(6) follows the ice-breaker cleaning<br />

the surface of possible residue.<br />

Un-frozen water is returned to the<br />

reservoir (7).<br />

6<br />

Water pump (8) circulates water<br />

around the system.<br />
