An ice maker is a useful appliance year-round. Of course, it's used much more frequently during the warmer months. But doesn't a birthday party, New Year's, or Valentine's Day need ice for cocktails? However, an ice maker isn't a luxury, but rather a way to add extra enjoyment to life.
The ice maker was invented in the United States in 1850. The device was conceived by physician John Gorey. It was he who, in the mid-19th century, demonstrated the first ice-making apparatus of his own design to the public. In doing so, Mr. Gorey effectively destroyed the then-developed and profitable natural ice industry. However, change didn't happen immediately. Sales of natural, and then artificial, ice finally petered out only in the 1920s, when the first electric household refrigerators arrived in stores.
So what kind of "device" is this—an ice maker? As the name suggests, it's a device for making (generating) ice.
Let's try to understand how it works. Modern units come in two types: compressor and brine. In the former, ice freezes onto the surface of the evaporator. In the latter, water, held in a special mold, is frozen using a circulating brine (refrigerant), whose temperature is approximately 10 degrees below zero Celsius. The latter is less common in Europe and other countries.
Besides the ice production methods, ice makers also differ in the purpose for which the ice is made. This determines how much ice the maker produces and its quality. Professional ice makers , used in restaurants, are naturally much more productive and produce more ice per day. Household ice makers, however, are designed solely to allow the average person to enjoy a glass of juice or a cocktail at any time at home.
