AUTOMATIC ELECTRICAL CONTROL OF ICE-MAKING MACHINE

摘要

A control circuit for an ice making machine having an ice forming mold and a refrigeration system for controlling the operation of the refrigeration system so as to cause water to freeze in the mold during a freezing cycle and to effect release of ice from the mold during a harvest cycle, including a timing circuit that is adapted to vary the time period of the freeze cycle in accordance with the temperatures of the ambient air and/or inlet water and to vary the time period of the harvest cycle in accordance with the temperature of the ambient air. In addition, the control circuit is further adapted to control the operation of the condenser fan during the harvest cycle in accordance with the temperature of the condensing unit.
