The development and manufacture of ice maker has gone through a long process. What is the process like?
Before the invention of the ice machine, there was no refrigeration technology, the ancient people wanted to store food in their own underground cellar in winter, to the already frozen river, to move a piece of ice into the cellar, and then put the food in the ice cellar to preserve the food. However, there is more snow in the north, and in the subtropics of the south, there is no ice and snow for 365 days a year. It is conceivable that it was more difficult to preserve food longer in the south of the time.
The inventor of the ice maker is Dr. John Gori of the United States. Dr. John Gori, a doctor, scientist, inventor, and humanitarian, showed the world in 1851 the ice maker and got a design patent for the ice maker. Although he never applied it to business, he was thought to be the father of refrigeration. In addition, he invented the air cooling system of Florida hospital. But Dr. Gori was not the only inventor of the ice maker. In 1853, Downing Alexander and James Harrison, 1855 of Australia, were also the inventors of the ice maker, and the two inventors had a corresponding patent on the technology of the ice maker. In 1866, sais Rowe invented the first commercial ice maker and used it in business. This is the first ice maker for commercial production.
The development of refrigeration technology in four stages is briefly described below.
1. Household refrigeration
The development process of ice making machine
The ice making technology was invented in the middle of the nineteenth Century. After the development and improvement of different people in different countries, household refrigerators began to appear and replaced old ice boxes, but there were no refrigerators in the early household refrigerators. Until 1920s, household refrigerators began to be widely used in the west, and freezers and ice pallets were gradually added to new refrigerators to allow people to make ice at home.
2. Ice making in the refrigerator
Servel launched a built-in ice maker fridge in 1953, a technology that gradually evolved to fill the water hook manually and connect the water pipe in the house to the ice maker to make ice automatically. By the end of the 1960s, the ice maker built in the refrigerator was common.
3. Ice making in indoor refrigerator
In 1965, the indoor refrigerators discharged by the Northern Star Co could bring their own water dispensers, so that ice and water could be automatically allocated without manual switchgear. By 1985, ice makers improved the storage facilities in refrigerators, so that they could hold up to 12 pounds of block ice.
4. Portable ice maker
Now, people buy an independent ice maker and a bar - type ice maker on the market. It takes at least 10 minutes to produce small ice. Of course, it is automatically made of ice and does not need manual operation.
