Abstract

MéTODO E DISPOSITIVO PARA PRODUçãO DE GOTìCULAS DE GELO SOB DEMANDA. A presente invenção refere-se a um método e a um dispositivo para a produção de gotas de gelo sob demanda em um refrigerador que são fornecidos, em que pequenas gotas de água caem de uma válvula através de uma câmara super-resfriada onde a água congela e forma pedaços de gelo, tal como na forma de péletes, enquanto está em queda livre através da câmara, com o gelo sendo direcionado para um conjunto de distribuição, O tamanho e a taxa de distribuição das gotas podem ser selecionados por um usuário e regulados por um controlador. O método e o dispositivo eliminam a necessidade de componentes de armazenamento e distribuição de gelo volumosos.
