    摘要: Ice cube apparatus for the production of ice cubes, comprising a water reservoir (1) with a filling opening (3), which can be filled with a desired amount of water, an ice-cube tray (10), which is separate from the water reservoir and has at least one mould cavity (11), water-metering means for supplying a metered amount of water from the water reservoir to the mould cavity, at least one thermoelectric element (15) for freezing the amount of water in the mould cavity, control means (21) with a timer unit for providing current to the thermoelectric element for a defined freezing time, in such a manner that this element extracts heat on the side of the ice-cube tray, release means for releasing a frozen ice cube from the ice-cube tray after the cube freezing time, and discharge means for collecting and discharging the ice cube which has been released from the ice-cube tray.

    摘要: The invention relates to a heat exchanger, preferably a scraped surface heat exchanger, designed to heat or cool viscous or highly viscous material. Said heat exchanger is equipped with a product cylinder (3), which is surrounded by the heat transfer medium and contains a rotationally driven shaft (2). The shaft and the product cylinder form a gap (10) with an annular cross-section for receiving the material to be treated. To avoid the use of substances that are harmful to the environment or the operator as coolants, Peltier elements (5) are arranged between the heat transfer medium and the product cylinder (3) on the side of latter that faces away from the annular gap (10). Said Peltier elements cool the material to be treated on the secondary side, enabling water to be used as the coolant, said water posing no threat to the environment and being re-cooled without difficulty in water towers. The cooling process takes advantage of the effect of the thermal pump of the Peltier element.
