Sorry I've been a little busy this last week.
IRstuff. You're right. Conventional ice machines freeze ice much in the same way an icicle forms by running water over a mold plate and letting it freeze layer by layer. Most machines will have a vertical plate that is timed so that the refrigeration...
Dougt115 I hadn't addressed that yet. I'm just trying to scratch out a basic model on paper so I can decide how much insulation would be needed for a prototype and in the future I can refine it further. I've just assumed that if the time taken to freeze ice 50mm thick is a few (maybe 4...
Hi guys,
New to the forum wanted a little help in designing an insulated ice mold. Basically the objective is to force the water in the mold to freeze axially or in one direction in order to make clear ice. Ideally, the time taken for the ice cube to freeze from the top surface exposed to the...
