摘要:
Ice-making machine with an add on board that has a textual display that can be used for a user to view various parameters of the ice-making machine and its operation and in some cases to adjust the parameters. The add on board includes a processor and a display program that presents a main menu and a series of sub-menus that are selectable from a list on the main menu. The display program includes both a view mode and an adjust mode.
摘要:
An ice cube-making machine that is characterized by noiseless operation at the location where ice cubes are dispensed and be lightweight packages for ease of installation. The ice cube-making machine has an evaporator package, a separate compressor package and a separate condenser package. Each of these packages has a weight that can generally by handled by one or two installers for ease of installation. The noisy compressor and condenser packages can be located remotely of the evaporator package. The maximum height distance between the evaporator package and the condenser package is greatly enhanced by the three package system. A pressure regulator operates during a harvest cycle to limit flow of refrigerant leaving the evaporator, thereby increasing pressure and temperature of the refrigerant in the evaporator and assisting in defrost thereof. The evaporator can be integrated with a beverage dispenser and an ice dispenser.

A portable computer has the features and benefits of a conventional portable computer and in addition including the added features of two larger than normal speakers, an integral microphone, a infrared transceiver and a touchscreen. The computer, also, has ports for receiving components tailored for disabled personnel including switching ports. The portable computer has a housing with an upper assembly and a lower assembly. The lower assembly has a support rib projects upward from the base and extends from one of the side walls towards the center of the lower assembly. One of the side walls has a reinforcing bar extending from generally the support rib to the front wall. A battery opening is defined by the reinforcing bar, one of the side walls and the front wall. The lower assembly defines a quadruplet of quadrants. The computer has a battery for powering the computer located in a quadrant, the battery quadrant. A hard drive and the power board are in the quadrant adjacent the battery quadrant. The battery engages the power board. A motherboard having a central processing unit is located in the quadrant opposite the battery quadrant. A human assist module overlays the motherboard. A CD-ROM is located in the quadrant adjacent the battery quadrant, with the support rib interposed between the two quadrants. The upper assembly has a display opening. A liquid crystal display may be seen through the display opening. A touchscreen is interposed between the liquid crystal display and the display opening.

A beverage dispenser is provided that stores ice and has a cold plate. The cold plate is provided with refrigerant and/or ice water drainage for cooling of the beverage upon dispensing.
摘要:
An evaporator device and method of making the device. The evaporator device comprises a one-piece metallic body, which is preferably aluminum or an alloy thereof, with a refrigerant tube embedded therein. The metallic body further includes horizontal fins and vertical partitions protruding from at least one surface that define an array of ice forming cells. The one-piece metallic body is formed by a die casting process that eliminates the conventional assembly steps of separate evaporator pans, refrigerant tube pieces, vertical partitions horizontal fins and other parts.
摘要:
An ice making machine having an evaporator plate assembly which is manufactured from two side plates and a serpentine shaped tube. Each side plate has vertical partitions integrally formed therein. The two side plates are bonded to the serpentine shaped tube through a braze process.
摘要:
An ice-making machine with an add on board that has a processor, a log program and a log memory. The log program periodically writes current values of operation parameters of the ice making of the machine in the log memory and makes the logged data available to an external device at predetermined times or when the current values contain an error condition.
摘要:
An ice-making machine comprising: an evaporator comprising at least one ice-forming surface; a water supply, a refrigerant supply and an electrical energy source; wherein the water supply supplies water that forms ice on the ice-forming surface during an ice-making mode, and wherein the electrical energy source applies an electrical pulse energy to the evaporator to melt an interfacial layer of the ice such that it is freed from the ice-forming surface during a harvesting mode.
