    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cold-water generating apparatus and a water purifier comprising same, in which: by arranging a block member to surround the outer circumferential surface of a flow path member through which fluid flows, and cooling the block member so that the fluid is cooled, thereby sufficiently lowering the temperature at which the fluid is cooled; and by arranging cooling passages respectively in a plurality of zones provided in the block member and thermally separated from one another, providing a connection pipe to allow the fluid to sequentially flow through the cooling passages, and preventing heat exchange from occurring between the fluid introduced through the connection pipe and the fluid discharged therefrom, the maximum amount of cold water can be secured, thereby improving user satisfaction.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for making cold water and a water purifier including the same, and more specifically to an apparatus for making cold water which is configured such that any one of a water inlet port, which is in communication with a water inlet flow path member so that incoming water can be introduced into a case member, and a water outlet port, which is in communication with a water outlet flow path member so that outflowing water can be discharged, is arranged adjacent to a heat transfer wall of the case member, and thus, storage water in the case member flows while directly contacting the inner surface of the heat transfer wall, and thus, the cooling performance of the apparatus for making cold water can be improved, and at the same time, the storage water may sufficiently flow without remaining in the case member, thereby improving the cleanliness of the outflowing water, and a water purifier including the same.

    Abstract: An ice maker having a refrigerant preheating unit and a control method thereof are disclosed. The ice maker having a refrigerant preheating unit according to one aspect of the present invention and a control method thereof may include: a compressor for compressing a refrigerant; a condenser for condensing a refrigerant discharged from a discharge end of the compressor; an expansion unit for expanding a refrigerant condensed in the condenser; an ice-making evaporator for evaporating a refrigerant expanded in the expansion unit to make ice; a refrigerant flow path unit for guiding a refrigerant discharged from the compressor to a suction end of the compressor through the condenser, the expansion unit and the ice-making evaporator; an ice-removing refrigerant flow path unit for guiding a refrigerant discharged from the compressor to the ice-making evaporator; a refrigerant preheating unit for causing a refrigerant discharged from the compressor to be re-suctioned into the compressor before passing through the condenser; and a control unit for controlling the refrigerant preheating unit.
