More Information
Summary:Provided are an ice-making system for producing clear ice, and a related method. The ice-making system employs a first sealed refrigerant system connected to a heat exchanger. A second sealed refrigerant system is also connected to the heat exchanger for cooling a first refrigerant of the first sealed refrigerant system. A heat exchanger heater is at least partially included in the heat exchanger for heating the first refrigerant. After the heat exchanger heater heats the first refrigerant, a pump in the first refrigerant system is started, which allows the cooling cycle to start. Once sufficient clear ice is produced, the pump is stopped.
