ICE GENERATOR FOR REFRIGERATING DEVICE Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC F25D17/06 F25C1/04 F25D11/02 

FIELD: personal use articles.

SUBSTANCE: refrigerating device comprises a freezing chamber, maintained at the temperature of 0°C or below, and a chamber for fresh products, maintained at the temperature of more than 0°C, which are connected to each other by a fluid medium, allowing the air may circulate between the freezing chamber and the chamber for fresh products, an air feeder for air circulation between the freezing chamber and the chamber for fresh products, a unit for ice formation, which is installed in the chamber for fresh products with a unit for ice formation and ice generated in the unit for ice formation exposed to the temperature in the chamber for fresh products, a cooling system in functional connection with the freezing chamber and the chamber for fresh products to develop a cooling effect in the freezing chamber, sufficient to maintain the freezing chamber at the temperature of 0°C or below, and for independent development of cooling effect in the unit for ice formation to freeze water and to generate ice in the unit for ice formation. The ice generator adapted for operation in a compartment of the refrigerating device, in which the ice generator and the ice formed in the ice generator are exposed to the temperature of more than 0°C. When installed in the chamber for fresh products of the refrigerator, which also comprises a freezing chamber, the cooling system develops a cooling effect in the freezing chamber sufficient to maintain the freezing chamber at the temperature of 0°C or below, and develops a cooling effect in the unit for ice generation, sufficient for water freezing to form ice in the unit of ice formation in the ice generator. The ice generator may contain a reservoir, which is functionally connected to the unit for ice formation of the ice generator to supply water into the unit for formation of ice and to receive water returned from the unit for ice formation.

EFFECT: using this group of inventions makes it possible to maintain the requested temperature independently in the ice formation unit and in the freezing chamber.
